Maybell, Chivies
On Monday, July 8, Chivies Alford Maybell died at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Maybell, on Diamond creek two miles below Hymer, after a protracted illness of seventeen months , aged twenty-six years, five months and eleven days. He suffered at first from heart trouble, and a few months later tuberculosis set in. He was a great sufferer but bore his suffering very
patiently. Ha always had a smile and a pleasant word for all his friends when they called to see him, even to the hour of his death. He was very devoted to his mother, who cared for him in his sickness as only a mother could.
The deceased was born at Matfield Green, Chase count; Kansas, Jan. 28, 1881 and moved Diamond Creek when three years of age, where he spent the remainder of his life. At sixteen years of age he was baptized and united with the Evangelical denomination at Rockland. A short time before he died be said: "The Lord's will be done", and he passed away with a smile on his face.
The funeral services were held from the M. E. church at Elmdale, on Wednesday afternoon, at 1:30 o'clock, Rev. G. G. Anderson of Topeka officiating, assisted by Rev. Frank Babcock of
Hyrum.
Before going to Elmdale a large number of neighbors and friends assembled at the home where, after Rev. Babcock read a few verses of Scripture and offered prayer, they formed a long procession and followed the remains to Elmdale, where the church was filled almost to its capacity. The floral tributes were beautiful and profuse, literally covering the top of the casket.
Interment was made in the Elmdale cemetery, where a short ceremony was conducted by the Ancient Order of United Workmen, the Rymer order of Modern Woodmen furnishing the pall bearers the deceased being a member of both orders.
A father and mother, two brothers and seven sisters, besides many other relatives and friends are left to mourn his lose.
We bad a precious treasure once,
He was ear joy and pride.
We loved him, ah! perhaps too well,
For soon he weaken'd and died.
All is dark within our dwelling.
Lonely are our hearts today,
For the one we loved so dearly
Has forever passed away
