• Notes

  Her marriage certificate to J.F. Chamlee lists her name as Mary A. Terry, instead of Mary E. as she always signed. "Mary Ellen was a faith healer, and my older Sister, Prudence, told me how she would stick her with pins to "get the devil out of her." notes from Loma Patton, 2004 Mary McFarland was found living as an inmate in the insane asylum at Las Vegas, San Miguel County, New Mexico in the 1920 census. ED 180, p. 15 A. Loma told me that Mary Ellen did not have a permanent home after Arthur died, but moved around from relative to relative. Edwin got a phone call to come get her in 1921 in New Mexico, but when he went to where she asked him to come, she was gone and no one knew what happened to her. It seems the family did not know she had been living in the asylum. It is not known where she is buried.
