Medora A. Maxson, wife of W. DeFrance Greene, was born July 22, 1845, and died at Adams Centre, N. Y., July 11, 1884. She was a daughter of Silas and Margaret Maxson, who together with four other children survive her. She early gave her heart to God, and became a member of the Adams Church before she reached the age of eleven years. She ever maintained her profession, and was a loyal member of the church. Her presence and help was always sure to be given whenever the church or the cause of Christ called. She was an earnest, practical Christian, of deep, devotional nature and strong faith in God. Her fervent words of love for Christ and his people, so often uttered in the prayer-meeting, will not soon be forgotten. Her married life of twenty years was very pleasant and happy. She was devoted to her husband and family, to whom her death is a crushing blow.
Two children remain, and one has gone on before. With a nature so social and attractive hosts of warm friends were drawn to her, who feel her loss very deeply. Her dying testimony was that her faith in Christ was unwavering. She realized that the end was approaching, and calmly talked of how she would prefer many things to be done after she was gone. Why one so necessary to her family and to the church, should be taken, we do not know; but we expect to know hereafter. John 13: 7. A. B. P.
