Individual Details

Mary Jane Harper

(26 Feb 1852 - 31 Oct 1935)


1900 Census says born Feb 1853

I have a picture of Mary Jane, found in an album belong to Bettie (Holderness) Haden. Written on the back, "Mrs. J. F. McFarland, mother of ten when this picture taken".
In 1900 Census she stated she had 10 children, 9 living. There were 7 living at home at the time. Since the youngest was 5, I think the above picture can be dated as taken between 1895 and this census.

Buried in Ladonia Cemetery, Fannin Co TX.
