She had been ill less than two weeks. Mrs. Maxwell, affectionately known as "Aunt Add' by thousands of friends throughout the state, built and operated Moab's first hotel, and for many years was also engaged in the millinery business. She remained active in business until about a year ago, when ill health forced her retirement. Funeral services were held Friday afternon from the L. D. S. chapel, with Bishop W. R. McConkie in charge. There was a very large attendance of sorrowing friends and a beautiful display of floral offerings.

Shafer, followed by a_ solo, "The End of a Perfect Day," by Mrs. Boyd Jorgensen, accompanied by Mrs. Lucian Tangren. Bishop McConkie was the first speaker. He paid tribute to the life of Mrs. Maxwell, who was one of Moab's earliest pioneers. She was a worker, an _ independent, useful citizen all her life, thw bishop stated. He praised her record as a mother, and as a public-spirited citizen. A solo, "My Task," was rendered by Lloyd Taylor of Redmesa, Colo., who was accomranied by Miss Lorena Taylor. President Elmer F. Taylor of Kirtland. New Mexico, a _ brother of Mrs. Maxwell, was the concluding speaker, and eulogized her life as a pioneer wife and mother.

She drove a_ bunch of rows, assisting her father and brothers on the long trip to Moab valley from Juab county. The concluding vocal number | was a duet, "No Night There," by |V. P. Walker and L. L. Taylor, accompanied by Mrs. Walker. The benediction was offered by George A. Newell. At the cemetery, 4 double quartet sang "Abide With Me,"" and the dedicatory prayer was offered by President Taylor.
