TEXAS CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE, March 19, 1881, p. 7, c. 3

MCLEAN.—Sister Olivia Adaline, daughter of Samuel R. and Adaline 
Barber, was born in Chambers county, Alabama, March 3, 1842; 
removed with her parents to Texas in January, 1851; received the 
witness of the spirit through faith in Christ, and joined the 
Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in Smith county, Texas, at 
twelve years of age; was married to brother Hiram H. McLean in 
January, 1860, and lived an exemplary Christian life to the day 
of her death, October 18, A. D. 1880, in Throckmorton county, 
Texas. Her husband having preceded her to the spirit land, she 
leaves three children, besides a host of relatives and friends, 
to mourn their loss. One by one the Father releases his own 
tired precious children from this world of trial, to enjoy rest 
at home with Jesus.
