IL, Thursday, August 8, 1901: "Loraine Edward, son of Edward and Ethel McFarland, was born near New Canton, Ill., September 28, 1899, and departed this life at the same place August 3, 1901, aged 1 year, 10 months and 5 days. Loraine was a beautiful child, bright and winsome in all his ways and a favorite with all who knew him; but death claimed him as a bright and shining mark, and he leaves his parents brokenhearted and their home filled with sorrow. Funeral services were conducted from the family residence Sunday, August 4, at 2 pm, by W.M. Halley. The house and yard were filled with sympathizing neighbors and friends, whose presence was an evidence of the esteem in which these young people are held by their many friends. Interment was in New Canton cemetery nearby."
