Mary
Ann Eve (Smith) Fears-Todd-Maggard
Funeral Was Largely Attended. The remains of the late Mrs. M.A.E.

H. Fears, for many years county attorney and assistant county attorney of Ellis county, and Brown Fears. She is also survived by two step children, Capt. John Maggard, of Emhouse and Mrs. G. W. Prewitt of Blooming Grove. The deceased was a member of the Methodist church for 64 years, and from girlhood was active in all that pertained to the good of her church. The deceased had been married three times, her last husband being the late David Maggard, for many years a resident of the Cryer Creek community, and many of those who attended her funeral yesterday had been her Sunday school pupil when she lived at Cryer Creek and took an active part in church work there. Those who knew her loved her, and there were few dry eyes yesterday among those who saw her venerable body laid to rest. She was known to all as a woman of rare intelligence and exalted character,and the world is much better for having lived in it. At the conclusion of the last, sad rites yesterday, the grave was covered by a profusion of beautiful flowers. Notes:
Mary Maggard is not listed in the cemetery book at Grange Hall or Cryer Creek. Her Death Certificate has Cryer Creek, but the obit states Grange Hall and that is where David Maggard is. I have a feeling that she is in Grange Hall without a marker since she died after her husband. She m. David Maggard Mar 25, 1891 in Ellis Co. TX

On March 30, 1926, the death angel came into the home of Mr. and Mrs. Zack Melton, Jr., and carried to rest their infant daughter, Lavern. Little Lavern was born February 24, 1926 and she was taken away from her mother and father and relatives March 30. She was one month and six days old. She was laid to rest in the Dresden cemetery. There were many friends and relatives present, all who adorned the grave with many beautiful flowers. There she waits till the resurrection morn. Baby's left the
cradle for the golden shore. When the dimpled cheeks and laughing little eyes, From the rumpled pillow shone, Then we gazed in gladness, now we look with sighs. Empty is the cradle, Baby is gone, Lonely is the household, everyone is sad, Look in every corner if you will That but once her pattered voice once always glad. All in death are now so cold and still . Baby's left her cradle God has called her home Seems as if He always plucks the choicest flowers. Sweetest little
darling, who with us loved to roam Notes:
