- "Mrs. Maude E. McLeod Dies in Hospital
"Mrs. Maude Ella McLeod, 65, a member of a prominent pioneer family of Fabius, died in Levering hospital, Hannibal, Sunday morning, May 10 at 4:07 o'clock following an operation for appendicitis. She entered the hospital last Wednesday.
"Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at Bethel Baptist church, conducted by the Rev. F.M. Baker of LaGrange. Burial was made in Greenwood cemetery. The Pallbearers were Harvey and Warwick Triplett, Wm. and Frank Hansbrough, J.J. Lucke and Zac McPike.
"A native of Fabius, daughter of the late Jerry T. and Commorah White Hansbrough, she was born September 11, 1876. She received her education in the district school and LaGrange College. She was united in marriage to J.J. McLeod November 27, 1901.
"She united with Bethel Baptist church in 1891 where she continued her membership with the exception of eigt [sic] years when she was a member of Hannibal Fifth Baptist church.
"She was always active in the work of the church and ever ready to assist those who needed her help. Possessing a kindly disposition she had many friends and her death marks the passing of one of the most beloved women of this community.
"Surviving are her husband, one daughter, Miss Helen McLeod who teaches at Naylor and one brother, Floyd Hansbrough of Springfield.
"The body was prepared for burial at Lewis Bros. funeral home." -- Palmyra Spectator, undated.
The obituary from the Spectator has the date 1948 written on it. I believe this is an error based on the data supplied by JET and on the fact that I do not remember her at all. Had she died in 1948 rather than 1942, I am sure I would have remembered her -- LKL.
