In West Hallock, Ill., May 16th, 1879, after an illness of two days, caused by the effect of a tumor from which she had suffered for several years, Mrs. Deborah Maxson, consort of Randall Maxson, in the 75th year of her age. Mrs. Maxson was a sister of Eld. Jared Kenyon, of Independence, N. Y. She was the mother of eleven children, all of whom are still living, but being very much scattered, only six were present at her funeral. She, with her husband, moved to Peoria county, Ill., in 1854. Her husband died in 1867. She had lived for some ten years with her daughter, Mrs. Sanford Stillman, in the bounds of the West Hallock Church. Although she never made a public profession of religion, she gave good evidence of being a child of God, frequently taking part in the social meetings of the church. She was especially beloved by the community, a neighbor remarking that she had not an enemy in the world. A very large attendance at her funeral on Sabbath afternoon, May 17th, gave good evidence of the esteem in which she was held in society. Funeral services by the pastor. Text, Amos 4: 13. H. B. L.
