Died at her home in North Loup, Neb., on April 3, 1912, Mrs. Florence Maxson.
Florence A. Crandall was born in Albion, Dane Co., Wis., on May 28, 1856. She was the daughter of Dea. Maxson Crandall and Elizabeth Lilly Crandall. When quite young her family removed to Freeborn Co., Minnesota, where Florence grew to womanhood. She early confessed Christ as her Saviour and became a member of the Seventh-day Baptist Church. In 1874 she was married to Lucien L. Maxson at Alden, Minn. In 1879 the family removed to North Loup, Neb., where the home has since been. Mr. Maxson died last year. She is survived by her father, Maxson Crandall, of North Loup, two brothers, Silas and George of Minnesota, and two sons, George and Esle of North Loup.
Sister Maxson was a quiet woman of high ideals for herself and for others. Until failing health kept her at home she was a faithful attendant at the church of which she was a member. She bore with remarkable Christian fortitude an unusually painful and protracted illness. The untiring devotion of her sons during her long sickness seems worth of special mention. G. B. S.
