At an early period she and her husband became [p.36] members of the Associate Reformed Church, located on their farm, called Ebenezer, (on ground given to and conveyed to the church by her husband) at the time under the care of Rev. Adam Rankin, and afterwards Rev. R. H. Bishop, D. D. … For nearly twenty seven years she was left a widow, her husband having died in 1823.

John O. Bourne died On Thursday, Feb 18, 1909, John Draffin Bourne of Hanley
neighborhood, entered into that rest, for which he had longed. For years,
he had been a great sufferer. His affectionate nature, dearly loved

benefits on his friends, often denying himself to accommodate his
neighbors. A true gentleman in every sense of the word. He united
with the Christian church when quite young and lived a consecrated
life. He belonged to one of the oldest families in the county; was
the son of the late James Bourne; his mother was Cynthia Draffin, a
sister of John Draffin, a prominent lawyer of Anderson County. The deceased

and Mrs. C. I. Prather of Lexington. Funeral services were held at the
