Died.
Mrs. Sarah Maxwell died at the residence of her son W. Maxwell, on East South Second street last evening, after an iliness extending over many days. Mrs. Maxwell was 78 years of age and was deeply beloved by all of her relatives and friends.
The funeral took place at 8 o'clock this afternoon, Mr. H. L. Howe conducting. The services were held at the residence and were attended by a large number of friends of the deceased and of the family, who were deeply impressed with the words of consolation offered by the pastor, Rev. W. J. Martindale of the Methodist Episcopal church. The interment was made in the Newton City cemetery.
The bereaved relatives have the heartfelt sympathy of their friends in their dark hour.
