FUNERAL OF MRS. F. L. MAXWELL AT TRINITY CHURCH

Mrs. F. L. Maxwell passed away very suddenly on Monday evening shortly after finishing her evening

She was before her marriage Miss Matilde Bowie of Natchez, Miss. Mrs. Maxwell was the widow of the late 
F. L. Maxwell, prominent planter in this parish and father of Mrs. George Yerger, Sr., of Mound and 
Mrs. John Potts of Monroe. She is survived by her three devoted daughters, Mrs. Paul Arbuthnot, 
nee Miss Ruth Maxwell of Jackson, Miss., and two daughters who make their home in Mound, Misses 
Dorothy and Alma Maxwell.

Funeral services were held in Trinity Episcopal Church of which she was a devout member, with the 
Rev. David E. Holt officiating, interment taking place later in the Vicksburg Cemetery.
