"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 108, No 11, p 351, Mar. 17, 1930.
Lydia Elma Maxson was born April 30, 1883, and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Roy Simmons, Manteca, Calif., February 21, 1930, having reached the age of 91 years, 9 months, and 21 days.
She was united in marriage in Milton, Wis., with George R. Maxson on March 6, 1856. To this union were born five children - four girls and one boy. They were: Effie L., of Riverside; Lucy E. Wells, deceased; Hattie A. and Nellie M. Simmons of Manteca; also George Lee Maxson, who was drowned in his fifteenth year.
Mrs. Maxson united with the Seventh Day Baptist Church in her early life and has ever been a faithful follower of her Master. She shall be missed in the Riverside Church, but a sweet memory remains with us.
Except for a few years her life was spent in Wisconsin until coming to California, where she has resided since. To everyone she was known as "Grandma Maxson," and a quiet halo seemed to hover over her as she mingled with her friends and as she testified of her love and devotion for her Savior. Her place is unfilled, and we weep as she passes, but many lives are glad for her life.
Memorial services were held in Preston's Funeral Chapel on March 1, 1930, the service in charge of Pastors E. S. Ballenger and G. D. Hargis. Interment in Olivewood Cemetery.
