The funeral services occurred at the
Marlboro Quaker church, yconoucted by
Rev. r. M. Andrews, of them. P. church
= of Greensboro, who said: ,'fWe have met
= here this morning to pay Our respects
to our dead sister, relative and friend,
Della Maxwell. The deceased was twice
married, two sons and one daughter sur-
viEe by her first union; Messrs, Troy and
Jim and Miss Olive Hoover; one brother,
three half brothers and four sisters. For
many months Mrs Maxwell had suf-
fered greatly. with that wasting disease,
and while it is natural for loved ones
to shed tears of sorrow at her going,
still l am glad that she is now free
from her great aff1iction and that death
is sweet relief.
Mr.. Andrews then read chapter from
the Bible: 'Let not your hearts be
troubled" favorite quotation of the de-
ceased. I'm my Fathers Louse are
many mansions; go to prepare place
for you'' Xxx Jesus says I'm the
Way, and the Truth and whatsoever ye
ask of Me I will give unto thee" and
other quotations from the l4th Chapter
of st. John, as well as from the 23rd
Psalm - ssTl,saI ord @is my4<shen herd sssI
shall not want" ETC., were read as favS
orite verses of the deceased.
Il would be untrue to myself if l
didn't bear personal testimony of her
readiness to CO., said the speaker. Il
visited her frequently and it has bee1
a spiritual benediction to me. She was
a devout Christian and her only regret
was that she had not been able to do
more in her limited time for the Mas
ter's cause. She kept the Bible before
her until too weak to read the word
and then she would ask me to read and
sing to her. Just a short while before
death I repeated the 23rd Psalm and
sang to her and she enjoyed it so much
Nv life has been blessed by coming in
to contact with such a woman"
Following Mr. Andrews talk "Sweet
Hour of Prayer" was sung, after which
N. A. Farlow, an uncle of the deceased,
made a short talk.
The casket was opened and scores OF
sorrowing friends and the relatives look
ed for the last time on earth at the face
of Mrs Maxwell.
The deceased was a member Of Wesley
Memorial church, this city.
The floral offerings were very pretty
and looked so unusually bright and
franrant out there in that little country
graveyard, transplanted as they were
from the hot houses of the city In all
their frailtv and tenderness to breath
the pure air, out in Gods great open.
Only a few days ago the father was
laid to rest there and this week the
daughter, and-surely the hand OF al
Fiction has rested heavily on this family
but It is not for mortal man to corn
plain.
The scene of the burial is close TO
the old home place where as chiio
she attended services at this quaker
church, and where every one knew her
her and loved her-and today they gath-
cred for miles around to pay their last
sad respects in the little white church
of her parents. Tenderly they laid her
frail body in the ground and bedeckeo
her grave with beautiful flowers oou-
quets typical of the resurrect,on--o1 tne
beauty and joys awaiting their dead
friend
The family and relatives have the SIN
cere sympathy of all in their SAD oe-
reavement.
