Maud REDMOND was born at Adrian, Kansas, November 15, 1884. She was married to Alvin L. BENEDICT March 6, 1906. To this union 6 children were born, one preceeding the mother four year ago. She was converted and united with the Baptist church in 1910, at Watson, Mo. The testimony she gave on her bed of affliction was that she was ready to meet her Savior, putting her trust in Him and her dying wish was that her husband and children would live the life of Christ so they would meet her in the Great Beyond. Mrs. Pillsbury, in writing his sketch, said, "She was the most patient and loving mother I ever saw." Her last words were: "I hate to leave him and the children but God know what is best." The farewell parting was most pathetic but her smile was Heavenly. She passed away March 1, at 8:15, at the age of 38 years, 3 months and 15 days. She leaves to mourn her departure her husband, six children, one sister, and three brothers and a host of friends. Interment was made in the Lon!
g Island cemetery. Rev. H.A. Fintel conducted the funeral. Mrs. Leora Dunsmoor and Beth Atkins sang very nicely at the services. The sympathy of the entire community is extended to this family.
