Mrs. Maye Ely Nichols.

S Nichols died at her home in
Webb City, Mo early Thursday
morning March 5, 1908. She
had been in declining health for
a good many months. but re
tanned her position in the High
School until in January. Sue
filed large place in the affec.
tions of the pupils and teachers
as we'll as others 10 her home
city, as is shown by the papers
of that place. The city schools
were closed for two days last
week in respect 10 her memory.
Two hundred and sixty High
School pupils attended the
services held there before leav.
for Monroe City.
Maye Ely was born near this
city Dec l. 1875. She received
her education in the Monroe
City schools and the State Uni
sity. She prepared herself for
the purpose of teaching, and
for several years taught in our
school. July 5, 1904 she was
married to Prof. r. S Nichols,
who had been Superintendent
of schools for ten years. lu
Webb City she taught for d
time in the grades and was
then transferred to the High
School filling the position with
fidelity until a few weeks ago
At the age of eleven years she
united with the First Baptist
Church and was baptized into
Its fellowship She later be-
came a member of the choir
where she held place until
her marriage.
The funeral services were
held in the First Baptist Church
Sunday afternoon where a very
large concourse of people as
sem bled in sympathy with the
sorrowing loved ones and to
pay the last tribute of respect
to the memory OF the departed
one.
The services were in charge
of the pastor 1. W. Read who
vas assisted by Rev. j. M.
Bailey of the Christian Church.
lShe leaves a father, mother,
three sisters and one brother,
with the husband to sorrow on
a little while longer. The p,
e. o Sisterhood of which she
was a member, had beautiful
lly tender and sympathetic
service at the house just before
leaving for the church.
You cannot say, and should not say
That she is dead. She is just away
With a tired look and a touch of the
hand,
She has gone into the heavenly land,
And left you thinking how wondrous
fair
1t needs must be since she is there.
She has gone to live in the land OF
light,
Where Jesus banishes the gloom of
night,
Where are no clouds, or sighs, or
tears
Where are no days, or months or
years
Where time is lost in endless days
She is not dead, she is just away,
And you, her loved, who sadly yearn
For the good night kiss and the
morns return
Think OF her as living on, as dear
In the life up there, as the life down
here
Think OF her still as the same, pray
For she is not dead she is just away.
