"Mary attended Sunday services regularly, sometimes walking, but usually rode her bay pony "Sal", taking a couple of the children on with her. Rev. Charles Wright, who preached the funeral sermon, in conversation with us, thus referred to her: "Mary Heverly was one of the best women I ever knew; She was of the salt of the earth. Her house was always a home for the ministers. My soul was sore with sadness when I was called to pronounce her eulogy." "Aunt Charlotte" Ormbsy paid this tribute: " I loved to visit Mrs. Heverly; She was an excellent christian lady. She used to stop by the road-side, when overcome by fatigue, and read her bible while on her road to meeting. She was not a strong woman." Mrs. Heverly took great interest in the reading of her children, and installed in their minds principles, which bring forth golden fruits."
Note: Personal visit to Heverly Cemetery September 24, 1993 as follows: Mary is listed on same stone as her husband Jacob Haverly, her mother & father. Her name is on the west side as follows; Mary Sep 12, 1805 - Oct 20, 1842.
