"Lafferty, Mary L. (Anderson) -- Mrs. Mary L. Lafferty was the eldest daughter of Rev. James Anderson D.D. and Laurana M. Anderson. She was born in West Rushville, Ohio, Oct. 30, 1840, during the time her father was pastor of the Presbyterian church of that place. She passed away to the rest that remaineth to the people of God, about noon of Sabbath, June 14th., at the age of 44 years, 7 months and 15 days. Her mother died 34 years ago. As the mother was Principal of a Female Boarding School, Mrs. Lafferty's early advantages in the way of education were under the home roof and under the care of her own mother. After her father removed to Lexington, O., April 1854, she had the benefit of the Lexington Academy, and then pursued her studies for a time in Vermillion Institute at Hayesville, O. She with her younger sister Catherine united with the Presbyterian Church of Lexington during a gracious revival under the pastorate of her father in 1856, when some forty professed Christ, some of whom remain to this present time, but some like her are fallen asleep. Among this latter number is the sister, Mrs. Catherine R. Newsome, of South English, Iowa, who came with Mrs. Lafferty to the feet of Jesus and into the communion of the church. The deceased married John Lafferty in October, 1861, soon after which time she united with the Presbyterian Church of Bellville. To them were born one child, Mrs. Abbie B. Eastman, of Winterset, Ia. who was permitted to be with her mother in her last hours. Mrs. Lafferty's father departed this life in peace, Jan. 21, 1871, at his home near Williamsburg, Iowa. Her youngest sister, Mrs. Laurane M. Carson fell asleep in Jesus at Solon, Iowa, July 14, 1872. Mrs. Lafferty's last illness was painful but it was borne with Christian patience. To pray with her, which was often done, soothed her greatly. She said "not much rest here". Then her brother said, "There remains a rest for God's people" and her reply was "Yes! Yes!" At another time she said "all I want is heaven and rest". She told her dear husband as he waited so tenderly on her "I'll soon cross over the river". "It is all well". Her youngest brother M. Scott Anderson, of Iowa, arrived last Saturday noon, but she had fallen into a sleep from which scarcely roused, until, as the closing prayer was being offered in the social service at the Presbyterian church for her, she fell asleep on earth to awake in heaven. How sweet to begin a Sabbath on earth and end it in the eternal Sabbath of Heaven. A bereaved husband and daughter remain, also a dear aged step-mother in her 83rd. year, and four brothers, Dr. J.M. Anderson, of Webster, Iowa, Prof. James E. Anderson, Jewett, Texas, Rev. W.W. Anderson, of this place, and M. Scott Anderson, of Williamsburg, Iowa. While these stricken friends sorrow not as those who have no hope, yet they ask an interest in the prayers of God's children. The funeral service was held last Monday at 2 p.m. at the home of her brother, W.W. Anderson, as it was there she took worse and died. Rev. Henry Fulton, of Lexington, conducted the service, assisted by Revs. J.F. Sponseller and B.. Squier, of this place. A large and truly sympathetic audience were present, among them being friends from Lexington and Mansfield. The floral offerings were many, among which may be mentioned a cross, a crown from the ladies of the M.E. Church, and a pillow with the words "At rest in Jesus" in white flowers, an offering from the Ladies Missionary Society of the Pres. church, of which she was a member since its organization. Mrs. Lafferty was a teacher for years in the Sabbath School. A vacancy is felt in the social circle, in the church, the prayer-meeting, the Sabbath School, the Missionary Society, but above all in the home, but there is another place filled in the heavenly church and home. Mr. Lafferty and his daughter Mrs. A.B. Eastman, also Rev. Anderson and family tender their sincere thanks to their many friends for their true sympathy and valued help in this bereavement, and they ask for them the presence of the Comforter. -- [Bellville Star: 18 June 1885, Vol. 8, No. 38]"
