The Columbus Democrat, Columbus, Indiana, June 20, 1884 (sub 'Reminiscences'): If you pass there you will see the tombstone of the noble Mary McFall, mother of our Colonel to the gratitude of our present and future generation. She was one of those old and respected ladies that attended women in their home troubles and with good success.

Mrs. McFall lived a mile and a half southeast of Columbus but was very popular among married ladies in town.
