She was the wife of Rev. Morris Delancey Jackson. They were married September 15, 1859. Rev. Jackson was a minister in the East Genesee Conference and Genesee Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Memoir Methodist Episcopal Church Genesee Conference Journal 1912, Pages 142-143 Laverna Freeman, a daughter of Rufus A. and Polly Taylor Freeman, was born at Ulysses, Pa., on April 18, 1837. She was of colonial ancestry, being a lineal descendant of Elder William Brewster and Governor Thomas Prince of the Plymouth Colony. Her paternal ancestor, Edmond Freeman, founded the Town of Sandwich, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, in 1637. Left without a mother's care at the age of four years, she became self-supporting in early life. She was married to Morris D. Jackson on September 15, 1859. Two years later he was received on trial in the East Genesee Conference, and in 1863 he was received into full connection. For thirty years they shared the toils and triumphs of the itinerant's life, serving in some of the most difficult fields in the Conference. Her husband died very suddenly while at Chautauqua, Chautauqua County, New York, on August 10th, 1889. Shortly afterward she purchased a home in Machias, New York, where the remainder of her life was spent. On Sunday, January 14, 1912, she was in her accustomed place in the church service and the Sunday School. On Tuesday morning she had a stroke of paralysis from which she never rallied. All that loving hands could do was done for her until Sunday, January 21st, when her spirit took its flight. Funeral services were conducted at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Blanche J. Field, with whom she had made her home for some time. The Rev. George Ogden Fisher, pastor at Machias Methodist Episcopal Church, officiating, assisted by the Rev. William Henry Reese, of Franklinville Methodist Episcopal Church. The burial was in the family lot in Maple Grove Cemetery beside her husband, where together they await the resurrection of the just. Mrs Jackson possessed many of the traits of her Puritan ancestors. She was a woman of strong character, with clear-cut and decided opinions, and was frank and outspoken in the expression of them, yet with quick appreciation of the good qualities of others, and a large charity for everybody. She was active in every department of church work and a loyal supporter of every good cause. When her last will was opened it was found that she had made provision for $100.00 of her little, all to go to the work of the Board of Foreign Missions, thus prolonging her influence for good in the world.

FREEMAN The Potter Enterprise Coudersport, Pennsylvania • Thu, Mar 29, 1934 p10 CLIPPED BY wetzupdoc • 16June 2024 • JOHN E. FREEMAN John E. Freeman was born on Fox Hill, near Ulysses, April 23, 1849, a son of the late Rufus and Hanna Bell Freeman, early pioneer settlers of Potter County. Mr. Freeman was the last of a family of twelve children. His mother passed away when he was only three years of age, and his father died when he was only eight. Until the Civil War, in 1861, he lived with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Luman Bell, on the farm now known as the Mosch farm, near Sweden. When nineteen years of age, he purchased land adjoining his grandfather's farm. Here he cleared the land and built a small comfortable home. On July 3, 1871, he was married to Miss Emma Roberts, who preceded him in death in 1917. To this union five children were born: Charles E., who passed away a year ago; Grace L. Yentzer of Roulette; William A., of Friendship, N. Y.; Otto J. and Milo S. Freeman of Coudersport. Mr. Freeman lived an active life, on the farm he had cleared when a young man, and on an adjoining farm. Some years after the death of his wife, he was again married to Sarah Kelso of Jamestown, N.Y., who survives, and has been a very kind and devoted wife during his declining years. On account of failing health Mr. and Mrs. Freeman moved to Ross street in this place a few years ago, where he passed quietly away on Monday morning at five o'clock. Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock, at the Sweden Valley Methodist Church, and the remains were placed in the Eulalia Cemetery vault. Later he will be laid to rest on Sweden Hill. During his lifetime, Mr. Freeman enjoyed the friendship of many and was always glad to welcome them to his home. Their many kindnesses will linger long in the memory of his family.. Freeman, John E obit News_PottEnt19340329p10 20240616GHLn- Obituary for JOHN E.
