Waverly Journal, Sept. 14, 1901
Mrs. Adeline Maxwell
Died at her home in this city, Thursday, Sept. 6, 1901 Mrs. Adeline Maxwell, relict of George M. Maxwell, aged 56 years and 11 months.
Adeline Meacham, daughter of the late Edom D. and Nancy C. Meacham, was born in Waverly, Ill., October 4, 1844. Her girlhood life was spent in this city until her marriage to George M. Maxwell, of New Berlin, to which place she accompanied her husband and where the greater part of her married life was spent. To this union two children were born - George H. and Luella, now Mrs. Chas. W. Lowe, of this city, and with whom she was residing at the time of her death. Both children survive her, also one brother, Mr. C. F. Meacham, of this city, and three half-brothers and three half-sisters.
Deceased was a lady whose circle of friends was large in every community she entered - friends who admired and loved her for her nobleness of character and purity of mind. She possessed those traits found only in the devoted wife, the loving mother and the true friends, and those who enjoyed her relationship by the ties of blood, and her friendship are indeed mourning for one whose place cannot be filled in the home circle. Shortly after her marriage she united with the Baptist church at Old Berlin, under the ministration of the Rev. Perry Bennett, then pastor of that church. This membership she retained until her death.
For the past few years Mrs. Maxwell had not enjoyed the best of health, though no decline was noticed, until within the past year, when her family and friends felt that some physical ailment was disturbing her, though she never complained. For the few months prior to her last illness she often spoke of feeling better, physically, than she had before, and all felt that a long life was yet before her. It was indeed a terrible shock to all when it became apparent that her days were numbered, and loving hearts and tender hands ministered to render her last hours peaceful and painless. Surrounded by her heart-broken daughter and surviving relatives, she passed away quietly, as a little child sleeps, at ten minutes after 8 o'clock, Thursday, Sept. 6, 1901.
Funeral services were held at the family residence at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 8, the Rev. T. C. Coffey, of the Baptist church, officiating, assisted by the Rev. Black, of the Methodist church. At the close of the services the remains were borne to East cemetery and placed beside those of her husband, who preceded her to the grave Jan. 27, 1897.
