Mr. McPherrin was married to Minerva Johnston in 1849. Four children were the fruits of this union, three sons and one daughter, all of who survive him. His wife died June 7, 1887. He was a member and officer of the Presbyterian church for many years. Spare in form and careful in his habits, his life was prolonged to good old age. Judge Wright said of him, "To say that he is good and honest, is but simple truth." He was of religious stock, his father, John McPherrin, being a Presbyterian minister of no mean ability and Mr. McPherrin himself was esceptionally able in prayer. One of his expressions during the first part of his last sicknesswas "When we are called to leave this world there is nothing so comforting as that imperishable faith that enables us to take hold of eternal life." He was buried by the side of his wife in the Miller Chapel Cemetry March 26, 1897 after services held in the chapel by Rev. O. W. Shepherd." His only wife was Minerva Johnston 1827-1887. She would also be buried in Miller Chapel Cemetery. His parents were Reverend John and Mary(Stevenson)McPherrin.
