Eva Clarke Maxson, daughter of Frank F. and Ellen Clarke, was born April 2, 1856, in Berlin, Wis., and died January 18, 1934, in a St. Louis hospital while visiting her niece, Mrs. Marie Clarke Wortman.
In 1883, she was married to Albert W. Maxson, who died in 1913. There were no children, but Mrs. Maxson was a real mother to some of her nieces, and has always been noted for the number of people, old and young, that she has nursed and cared for.
She has been a long-time faithful member of the Milton Junction Seventh Day Baptist Church, having united with that church by letter from Berlin, Wis., in 1883. She is survived by her brother, P. L. Clarke of Denver, Colo., three nephews, four nieces, and several grand-nephews and grand-nieces.

Albert W. Maxson, son of Rev. William B. and Lucy Carpenter Maxson, was born November 29, 1850, at Stephentown, N. Y., and died at St. Ann's hospital, Chicago, April 5, 1913, in the sixty-third year of his age.
The family came to Walworth, Wis., when Albert was only three years of age. Here he grew to manhood surrounded by Christian influences in home and church, and at an early age he became a member of the Seventh-day Baptist church of that place.
April 9, 1883, just thirty years ago yesterday he was united in marriage to Miss Eva A. Clarke. They first made their home in Minnesota, but soon returned to this state. For the last twenty years their home has been in Milton Junction. They never had any children of their own, but two nieces have found a home with them.
Besides the sorrow-stricken wife and the two girls who are like their own children, he leaves one sister, Mrs. Helen Parrish of Los Angeles, Cal., of his immediate family.
The twin virtues of Mr. Maxson's life, which were characteristic of his relations to God and to his fellow-men, were humility and faithfulness. He was a sincere and devout worshiper of God, a humble follower of the Christ of Galilee, an honest, helpful citizen and neighbor. In short he was a Christian in practice as well as in profession.
He had been in failing health for months but it was not generally known that his condition was serious. His disease was approaching an acute stage, however, which only an operation could avert. He walked to the train and went alone to Chicago, where he underwent an operation last week Monday morning. It soon developed, however, that his resistance was not sufficient to carry him through to complete recovery, and just one week from the day he went away, his lifeless body was returned to his home and friends.
A good man has gone, and the words of the Master, spoken of one of old, involuntarily comes to mind, "An Israelite indeed, in whom there is no guile."
The funeral services were held from the S. D. B. church Tuesday afternoon, Pastor A. J. C. Bond officiating, and the remains were laid at rest in Milton Junction Cemetery.
