"~ INTERESTS OF WESTERLY | | Hale’s] Ms. Jonathan L Maxson Dead—President Pendleton Honored by Wellesley Students—Jurors Summoned For Novem- ber Term of Superior Court—Republican Rally Wednes- day Evening. Mrs. Matilda Mandana Wilcox Max- son, one of the oldest residents of ‘esterly, after a long iliness, died nesday morning at the home of youngest son, Jonathan Irving Maxson, 31 Elm street. She was for marfy years active in the membership of the Seventh-day Baptist church and interested in general charitable work. She was the widow of Jonathan Max- son, who was born at Potter Hill Jan. 20, 1816, and when 2 years of age moved with his parents to Westerly, and in 1843 associated with his brother Charles under the firm name of C. Maxson & company for the transaction of general building and lumber business, which was subse- quently conducted for many years by bis ‘son, J. Irving Maxson, but is now known as the Isaac Sherman company. Mrs. Maxson was the daughter of Deacon Martin and Matilda Mandana Stillman-Wilcox and was married Jan, 25, 1844. They had these chil- dren: Albertus Wilcox Maxson, born June 25, 1846, now of Stonington; Henry Martin Maxson, born March 23, 18562, now superintendent of schools at Plainfield, N. J.; Jonathan Irving Mazxson, born Sept. 22, 1856, still a resident of Westerly, but soon to re- move to the Isle of Pines; Frank How- ard Maxson, born June 18, 1850, and died Oct. 14, 1863. Rev. Frederick H. Decker, former stor “of the Ccngro?ltional church’ f; Pawcatuck, with residence in West- erly, now_the head of the church house work in Providence, at a Brotherhood meeting told of his labors for the pris- oners in the state and city institutions and of the work among them, following their release. e told of the means employed to feed them and of the ar- rangements for athletic amusement until such time as they were able to get work. He referred to the medical treatment given to some, of the em- loyment, agency and of the help that often given to the families of the unfortunates. f Rev. Mr. Decker stated that the work had been many times criticised on the ground that it is not Christian work, but only temporal. He said that hand in hand with the work of secur- ing employment for the men and of caring for them until such time as théy were able to look out for them- selves went the work of teaching them Christlanity. Rev. E. Talmadge Root, for eight years field secretary of tile Federation of Churches and Christian Workers of the state of Rhode Island, and well known to church workers of Westerly, hag tendered his resignation to take effect Dec. 1. The chief reason for the resignation is lack of adequate sup- port; financially; another reason being Mr. Root’s desire to attend the federai council in Chicago in December free to ’lccels?bany opening that may present tself. 3 To meet the conditions created by the resignation, the council of the fed- eration has passed resplutions to main- tain the organization, noting at the same time that the present financiai support of the churches in the federa- tion is wholly inadequate. It was re- solved that the present deficit and ex- enses to Dec. 1 be raised by Nov. 19, e date or' the annual meeting. Miss' Ellen Fitz Pendleton of West- orly, phesident of Wellesley college, was given a serenade by nearly 1,500 students, Tuesday night which was preceded by the Wellesley girls singing and carrying lighted lanterns, march- ing about the college campus in cele- bration of the first anniversary of the inauguration of President Pendleton. At the president’s residence the parad.. ers halted and gave Miss Pendleton an opportunity to hear at close range threé songs written for the anniversary in éach of which she was praised. Miss Pendleton responded in a grace- ful speech of appreclation. Leading the large body of serenaders was Miss Mary Colt, president and song Jeader of the senior class. Mem- bers .of \all classes became shining stars, gleaming for Wellesley in the words of .one of the songs. " William b. Doane, the noted com- oser of hymns, and a resident of| atch Hill and Cincinnati, accompa- nied by 1. Allen Sankey, son of the late singing evangelist, made a visit Tuesday to Miss Fanny J.
