Paxton - Mrs. Martha F. Paxton, whose illness was noted in our last issue, died yesterday morning at 7:30 in her 60th year. The end was so calm and quiet, the sorrowing watchers by her bedside hardly knew when it came. She was confined to her bed about 10 days only, though unwell for some time before that. Her ailment, inflammation of the stomach and bowels, took such a hold from the first, that the best medical aid was unavailing, and though suffering excruciatingly in the beginning, she lost consciousness some time prior to her death and was apparently free from pain.
Mrs. Paxton was the daughter of James M. Huffman and Martha Logan and was born and spent her whole life in this vicinity. She was the second wife and the sister of the first wife of James Paxton, to whom she was married in 1866, and whom she survived 16 years.
She was a most estimable woman, beloved by all who knew her, and her death has caused universal sorrow. During her illness scores of friends called daily to offer their services, and in nearly every instance a wish was expressed that something could be done to repay some kindness rendered by her. Without ostentation or parade, the aim of her life was the accomplishment of good, which she mainly did by alleviating the sorrow of others. She was generally the first to go to the room of sickness and the last to leave it, and her gentle, patient, kindly ministrations were rarely equaled.
In her young girlhood she united with the Chrisitan church, but after marriage became a member of the Presbyterian church and was an earnest, consistent, devoted christian. Her seat in church, Sunday school and prayer meeting was never vacant if it was possible for her to be there. For years she has had the infant class in Sunday school, and her influence over the little ones was wonderful and their devotion to her unbounded. She was passionately fond of children and tho' blessed with none of her own, there was never a time during her married life that she did not have charge of one or more motherless children, and to all of them she was indeed a mother.
Some time prior to her death she expressed a desire to die at sunrise and be buried at sunset, and her wish will be almost literally fulfilled. She will be buried at 4:30 this afternoon on the family lot in Buffalo Springs Cemetery, the procession leaving her late residence at 4. The services will be at the grave, conducted by Rev. S. M. Rankin, assisted by her old pastor, Rev. A. S. Moffett, of Lebanon. Truly a good woman has gone to her reward!
