JEAN MACFARLANE
(1823 - 1913)
MRS. JEAN MAC FARLANE, MOTHER OF JOHN MAC FARLANE, CALLED AT AGE OF 93
Two pioneer residents of Manitowoc county, both of whom had lived to near the century mark in years, were called by death Friday night, one in this city and one in the town of Franklin.
Mrs. Jean MacFarlane, mother of John MacFarlane, editor of the Daily News, died at her home, 605 St. Clair street, at the age of 93 years, nine months…
Mrs. MacFarlane, who had made this city her home since 1854, had, despite her advanced age, been in robust health, it having been her proud boast that she had never known a day's illness from disease in her life, and her death was not due to disease, but to weakness brought on by age. Up to three months ago Mrs. MacFarlane had attended her own housework and on June 5 last, the occasion of her birthday, entertained at a party.
Jean Gillis was born in Ayrshire, Scotland, and was married there in 1853 to the late George MacFarlane, and with her husband came to Manitowoc in 1854. Mrs. MacFarlane had made her home here practically ever since, though for a period from 1886 to 1910 she spent much of her time at Racine. For the past three years, she made her home with her grandson, George J. MacFarlane.
Mrs. MacFarlane was a member of St. Paul's M.E. church and was interested in the work of the church. She is survived by three children, one daughter, Mrs. J. Walton, of Chicago, and two sons, John of this city and George of Milwaukee.
Funeral services will be held from the home of John MacFarlane, Sixth and Park streets, Monday afternoon with interment at Evergreen.
