A KIND SURPRISE.—A few days since, Miss Maria Spaulding [sic], the invalid daughter of our highly esteemed citizen, Capt. Spaulding [sic], was made the recipient of a beautiful gift, and one as appropriate as it was valuable. Miss Spaulding [sic] has been a helpless invalid for five years, superinduced by a fall. A few of the family friends here clubbed in and sent to Chicago and bought an elegant chair, at a cost of some forty or fifty dollars, which they intended to make as a Christmas present of Miss Spaulding [sic]. The chair arrived, however, sooner than it was looked for, and feeling as though she ought to receive the additional comfort given by such a thing soon as possible, they did not wait for Christmas to come, but delivered it at the residence of the young lady at once. She is very grateful to her kind friends who remembered her so generously in her sufferings, and says it is more than could have been hoped for by the noble purchasers. (Brainerd Tribune, 20 December 1873, p. 1, c. 6)
While There is Life There is Hope.
Miss Maria Spalding, daughter of Capt. W. P. Spalding, has been an invalid for a number of years. Her sickness was induced by falling on a stone when about seven years of age, and for two or three years after that time she was subject to periodical spells of sickness, after which she was confined to her bed during the entire time, which has been some fourteen years. Physicians from all schools and localities have treated the unfortunate lady for years, but no apparent relief has resulted. It has recently been thought advisable to take her to Prof. Bedford's institute in Chicago, this gentleman being an eminent representative of the medical fraternity, with the hope of at least obtaining a partial if not entire cure. Superintendent Cross of St. Paul kindly tendered to the lady and her immediate relatives the use of the pay car for transportation, furnishing the requisite porter, servants, etc., clear through to Chicago. This official gave the captain to understand that this was to serve as a mark of appreciation, for twelve years of faithful service in the employ of the Northern Pacific railroad, as well as a matter of courtesy and accommodation. Mrs. Spalding and son Henry accompany the lady through to her destination, and her mother will remain with her while she shall remain under treatment, which will probably be several months. Miss Spalding is well known in Brainerd, and her many friends would rejoice to hear of her ultimate recovery. (Brainerd Tribune, 07 January 1882, p. 5, c. 4)
Miss Maria Spalding is to be treated by one of the best physicians in Chicago. (Brainerd Tribune, 14 January 1882, p. 4, c. 4)
Miss Marie Spalding, who has been very sick for some time, grew worse this morning and for hours she was thought to be dying. She is very low and may not live the day out. (Brainerd Dispatch, 01 November 1901, p. 8, c. 3)

_____
The funeral services over the remains of the late Maria Spalding, were held this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from St. Paul's Episcopal church and were very largely attended, which showed the high esteem in which deceased was held by many in this city. Though she had lived a very retired life on account of being an invalid, those who came in contact with her and knew her inward thoughts learned to love and respect her. it was one of the most remarkable cases in history, as has been stated before, and it is the wonder of all, for at all times, though a sufferer, she exhibited a feeling of deep interest in the welfare of those near and dear to her.
Rev. George H. Davis, of Mankato, was present to officiate at the funeral and the sermon which he preached was full of good things about the career of the deceased. She was a member of the Episcopal church and Rev. Davis was her close friend when he lived in the city.
The large number of floral contributions is an evidence of the esteem which the young lady was held in, some of these tokens of respect coming from as far as Philadelphia. There was a beautiful large pillow of white roses and ferns from Mrs. Ellen Spalding, her mother, and H. Spalding, her brother and family. It was one of the most beautiful ever seen in this city. Mr. and Mrs. M. P. Martin, of St. Paul, also sent a beautiful pillow of roses and carnations. Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Hawkins contributed a beautiful wreath made of white roses and carnations of varied colors. An anchor of white lilies and roses was a token from Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Wise. Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Delemere [sic] sent from St. Paul a beautiful wreath of American beauties. Mrs. Jennie Bevins [sic] [Bivins] contributed a beautiful cluster of roses and carnations. Mrs. Severn [sic] Koop sent a beautiful pillow of white roses and Mrs. Bertram a bouquet of beautiful carnations. Mrs. A. G. Mitchie and daughter contributed a beautiful bouquet of roses, carnations and ferns. A large pot of red American beauties was a token from Dr. and Mrs. Courtney. Mrs. Belle Wilson [sic] [Nelson] sent a beautiful bouquet of different colored carnations. Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Kimberly, of St. Paul, sent up a beautiful collection of roses, carnations and pansies. Misses Strangway and Whitaker and Dr. Mowers sent from the hospital a beautiful cluster of roses. All the way from Philadelphia from Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Kindred, came a beautiful collection of roses. Mr. and Mrs. F. S. Parker sent over a dozen or more beautiful roses. Mr. and Mrs. M. K. Swartz also contributed a fine bouquet of roses. Mrs. H. Theviot was among the first to send over a floral token. There were many others, too numerous to mention and the display was a very beautiful.
This morning a large number of friends of the young lady called at the home of her mother to take a last fond look.
The pallbearers at the funeral were D. R. Craig, Dan Smith, C. D. Johnson, M. K. Swartz, N. H. Ingersoll and M. McFadden.
The remains were laid to rest beside those of her father in the Spalding lot in Evergreen cemetery. The sympathy of the entire city is with the relatives of the deceased and especially the mother whose life has been one of continual service of love and fidelity to the invalid daughter.
