MRS. CHANDLER DIED YESTERDAY
Was Born In Jefferson County Seventy-Two Years Ago
Lived in Kansas 30 Years

Mrs. Maggie CHANDLER died at Packwood last night at 8 o'clock. The funeral services will be held tomorrow at 11 o'clock at the Methodist church at Packwood, and burial will be in the Evergreen cemetery here. Her death came as the result of cancer, from which she has been suffering for some time.

The decedent was born in Jefferson county, June 27, 1849 and with the exception of about thirty years, when she lived in Kansas, has been a resident of this county. After her husband died some four years ago, she returned to Packwood.

Mrs. CHANDLER had no children of her own, but many years ago she took two girls into her home, whom she reared and cared for as her own. These girls, Mrs. Mary DELLINGER of Pulaski and Mrs. KEFLING (sic - KESLING) of Richland, together with two sisters, Hester LOCKE (sic - LOCK) and Mrs. Jane WOLF, are left to mourn her loss.

She was a life member of the Methodist church and will be buried from this church tomorrow.
