Mary A. Daxon
Mary A. Daxon, wife of M. O. Daxon died during the night Sunday and it is not a trite saying to say that the news was a distinct shock to the people of this community as well as the family. While she had been in poor health for a long time neither the family nor friends had the least idea the end was so near. She was apparently feeling better Sunday evening than for some time and sat up late that night and wrote long letters to her daughters, Misses Helen and Florence Daxon, who are away attending school, the former in Omaha and the latter at Oberlin, Ohio. The nephew Bernard, came in about 11 and spoke to his aunt and then retired. Mr. Daxon had retired at that time. About 7 Sunday morning Mr. Daxon spoke to her and receiving no answer, touched her only to discover that the spirit had peacefully passed to it reward during the night. Without a struggle and apparently without pain she had died during the night, the doctor on arriving stating that Mrs. Daxon had been dead for several hours. The circumstances, particularly the fact that the two daughters were away from home makes the passing particularly sad for the family and they have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community.
Mrs. Daxon in a quiet and unassuming way had won a high place in the esteem of the community in which she lived. Her uniform kindness, devotion to her family and high ideals made of her an ideal woman, wife and mother.
The funeral services were held Thursday morning in the local Catholic church Thursday morning at 10 o'clock, and all the business houses were closed out of respect for her. The services were conducted by Rev. Fr. Vogle, priest in charge of the parish, assisted by Frs. Sullivan of Tilden and Cassiday of O'Neill. The church edifice was too small to accommodate the people who desired to attend. Interment was in Laurel Hill cemetery.
Mary A. McCreary was born in Omaha, Nebr., June 10, 1870, her parents being pioneer settlers of that city. She was graduated from Sacred Heart academy of that city and married Mr. Daxon June 22, 1897. Shortly after their marriage they moved to Greeley, Nebr., where they resided two years and then moved to Neligh which has been the family home ever since, purchasing a farm adjoining town and later, in 1904, Mr. Daxon entered the hardware and implement business in Neligh. The husband and two daughters of the immediate family survive to mourn her loss, Helen and Florence, another daughter having died in infancy. She was an only daughter in the McCreary family, of seven, four brothers, James H., John A., William N., and Emmet H., of Omaha, were here with their wives to attend the funeral as well as Mrs. Frank McCreary and daughter Blanch.
The schools were dismissed for the forenoon and the children attend the funeral in a body, up on the walk near the church, though neither the children nor a large portion of the citizens who came were able to gain admission to the church for lack of capacity.
