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.
Written by Rev. George Ogden Fisher.
