Obit: Maud Mauzy
Maude, eldest daughter
of S. R. and Luane Mauzy, was born June 2, 1868, died January 29, 1886,
aged 17 years, 7 months and 27 days.From early childhood she was very kind and obedient to her parents, who almost idolized her, taking great pains in educating her both morally and intellectually. Last winter she attended the graded department of our schools, but early in the spring it was apparent that her health was failing and it was believed that a visit among friends in Kansas would benefit her; but instead she rapidly grew worse and was scarcely able at any time after to return. Some time in October her parents succeeded in bringing her home, after which she gradually grew weaker, although every thing was done that love could suggest or money procure. During the earlier part of her sickness she passed many hours reading the holy scriptures, and a few days before she died she appeared quite anxious that a younger sister would soon unite with the church. She talked with many of her friends urging them to be good, and to her mother she would often speak of the future state, and with a smiling countenance would say, "Ma, don't grieve after me, it will not be long you will miss me." It appears that through the scriptures she could almost see the beautiful heaven of res, and she said "were it not for so many friends I would gladly go." "Ma don't weep, I will soon be in Heaven."
I might add that she was loved by a worthy young teacher, who, the last days of her illness, dismissed his school, and passed most of the time near her death bed, among her many friends, and furnished the beautiful flowers in the coffin and the lilly on her bosom when she was placed in the cold and silent tomb.
The funeral services were conducted by Elder John Huston at the Union church, Ovid, interment at the Lutheran cemetery near by.
