Obituary from the National Democrat, Clark Co., IN, April19,1895:

"Memphis, April 18. - In last Sellersburg correspondence it was stated that Mrs. Emmeline Braham, who died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. John McClara, near Slate Cut, was the widow of Westley Braham. this was erroneous. She was the widow of Wilson Branham, who died here in 1888, and to whom she was married in 1847. Eight children were the fruit of this union, of whom five survive, viz: Mrs. John McClara, Mrs. Jane Culp, Mrs. Hamilton Justice, Mrs. James McClara, and Miss Martha Branham. The deceased lady was a native of Lawrence County, Ind, and was a life long member of the Christian Church."

"Friday night last. Wilson Branham, a pioneer of Union township, died at his residence here. Though ill for several weeks, having suffered an attack of pneumonia, he seemed to be making favorable progress towards recovery, when a bursting blood vessel caused hemorrhage of the brain and hence paralysis, ending in death. He was speechless for several hours previous to dissolution. The funeral took place Sunday morning from Ebenezer church and was largely attended, Rev. G. W. Green preaching the sermon. Mr. Branham was a native of Tennessee, where he was born Feb. 9, 1821. He came to this State when only nine years of age. He had been for many years a member of the Christian church and was much respected by all who knew him."

Obituary, Jeffersonville National Democrat, 30 Jan 1895, page 4, column 7:

We also chronicle the death of the little daughter of Mr. James McClara, who was buried at the same burying ground on Wednesday last. Mr. McClara has been very unfortunate, as this is the second child he has lost in but a short time. One was killed on the J. M. & I. railroad and this last one was sick but a short time.

Jim VanDerMark reports:
"The John McClara listed in your index is my great great grandfather. I have been to Ebenezer (once) and took a picture of his tombstone. It is a double stone and also has his 3rd wife Mary Elizabeth Branham McClara on it. (I have a picture somewhere.)

"Mary Elizabeth was the daughter of the Wilson and Emily Branham (see their obituaries above). It took me a while to find a death record on Mary Elizabeth, because she actually died at the home of her son in Champaign Co., IL. I have a copy of her death certificate filed January 21, 1931, # 01000009 that states she was buried in "Ebenezer cemetery, Henryville, Clark Co., IN" on Jan 22, 1931.

Mary Elizabeth was born 28 May 1848 in IN and died 18 Jan 1931 in Champaign Co., IL

John McClara was born 22 Dec 1827 in Adams Co., MS and died 31 Dec 1903 in Clark Co., IN. He was a veteran of the Civil War having enlisted on the 6th of Sep 1862 as a private in Company E, in the 17th Regiment of the Veteran Reserve Corp. He was honorably discharged on the 11th of Jan 1865. This information is from his application for pension, #159400.

Obituary, Jeffersonville National Democrat, 30 Jan 1895, page 4, column 7:
We attended the funeral of Old Uncle Anderson Meeks, at the Ebenezer Cemetery on Tuesday last. Mr. Meeks was an old pioneer, being in his ninety-sixth year. No one who knew him, can but regret his death. Many a pleasant hour has your correspondent spent listening to reminiscences of Mr. Meek's past life. He was in the recruiting service of the war of 1812, and could vividly portray many startling adventures of that period. Mr. Meeks at one time was in very affluent circumstances, but being unfortunate, he was but in poor circumstances at the time of his death. He was a pleasant, agreeable, and a whole-souled old gentleman, and the community in which he resided will long miss the old and familiar face of Uncle Anderson.
