David E., Mary Bouren, and Mary Irene McPherson
On May 12, 1937, an automobile accident removed from life and service in the Linton community and church three faithful Christians—David E. McPherson, born September 13, 1882; his wife, Mary Bouren McPherson, born October 17, 1886; and his daughter, Mary Irene, twelve years old. Brother McPherson was killed immediately, his daughter died three hours later, and Sister McPherson lived two days before dying of injuries. No finer or more loyal family lived at Linton. Brother David was an elder in the South Harpeth Church and its regular song leader and treasurer. No good work was begun that he did not have a part in, and always his companion stood faithfully by him. Irene was a very sweet girl, conscientious in religious matters, and loved by all knew her. Brother and Sister McPherson had just completed their new home and store, and had just taken a new hold on life and its Christian joys. Words cannot express the void that is felt in the South Harpeth Church and the Linton community over this loss. A double funeral was conducted for Brother McPherson and Irene, and later Sister McPherson was placed in the same grave with them in Mount Olivet Cemetery, Nashville. Services were conducted at the South Harpeth Church by L. O. Sanderson, Andy T. Ritchie, Sr., and Vester Cawthon. The faculty quartet, from David Lipscomb College, sang at both services. Two sons—Kenneth, of Fayette, Tenn., and David, of Memphis—together with other immediate kindred and a host of loyal friends, are left to mourn the loss. Since all three were faithful members of the Lord’s church, our hope is strong. S. F. Morrow. - Gospel Advocate, September 9, 1937, page 862.
