DEATH OF MRS. MARY PAX8ON.
After a brief Illness of scarcely
week, Mrs. Mary Paxson died at h-a.
home on Howard and -Madison street3
in this city Saturday afternoon March
,27, 1909, at about half past t»\
o'clock. The funeral will be held
from the home Thursday afternoon,
and the services will be in charge of
the Rev. Dr. H. O. Pratt of Tama
City and Dr. R.. A. Barnes, pastor of
the Methodist Episcopal church.
Mary Williams, a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas Williams, was born
iri Painsyille, Ohio, August 12, 1835,
and was 73 years, 7 months and 15
days of age. She was one of a famll
of seven children, and with her par
ents moved to Winneabago, Illnols,
when she was about 3 years old. Mts.
Paxson came to Manchester in 1858
and made an extended visit with her
brother, George Williams, who lived
on a farm near this city. Deciding to
remain here, she made her home
with Rev. and Mrs. Churchill. Some
time afterwards, she met Charles H.
Paxson, and 011 October S, 1860, they
were married by Mr. Churchill, who
was then pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal church in Manchester. Mr.
and Mrs. Paxson built their home in
1865, the foundation of which was
completed the day Abrhaam Lincoln
was assassinated.
Seven children were born to them,
one of whom died when three years
of age. The remainder of the family,
wKJi the exception of Mr. Paxson,
who died May 16, 1894, survive the
mother. They are Mrs. C. W. Hayes
of Omaha, Nebraska Mrs. J. M. Mor
isey of Indianapolis, Indiana Mis3
Susan Paxson of Omaha, Charles H.
Paxson, Miss Emily Paxson and Mits
Ruth Paxson of this city. Two broth
ers, John Williams of Upland, Cali
fornia, and Henry Williams, who
lives In the same state, also sur
vive her. Mrs. Paxson united with
the Methodist Episcopal church when
child, placing her letter in the
local parish nearly fifty years ago.
Until her health was impaired and
it was impossible for her to attend
religious services, Mrs. Paxson was
an earnest and tireless worker" for
the church which she loved. After
being denied all means of personal
attendance at divine worship, she in
stituted and maintained until the
time of her death an alter of faith In
the home, being made happy by the
constant attention of her hosts of
friends and' of her ftunlly.. The dis
ease which sorely afflicted her for
nearly twenty-five yeSrS was one that
required almost superhuman strength
and fortitude to bear, and yet through
if all, Mrs, Paxson cheerfully exerted
and consistently proved her simple
tiust in the religion which she had
proved and- tested for many years.
With but a single thought, she stead
fastly made the happiness of her
family and her friends the supreme
Importance In her life. Having suf
fered so pitifully, all these tedious
years, Mrs. Paxson knew full well
the strength which oame^ from ex
pressed sympathy and loving care of
her children. She died quietly arid
without pain, and her departure from
life came as a sudden and unbe
lievable statement to her friends and
family. Telegrams were immediately
sent to the children, and Mrs. Hayes,
Mrs. Morlsey, Miss Sue, Paxson and
Mr. Paxson arrived in the city. Sat
urday night. Misa Emma and Miss
Ruth Paxson are expected this (Wed
nesday) evening.
