Mrs. Maxwell died at Hamburg hospital Sunday morning after an emergency operation on Saturday afternoon. Lydia Ann McNatt, daughter of John and Martha McNatt, was born at Burlington June 19, 1853, and was 80 years of age at the time of her death. She was married in 1871 to Andrew J. Maxwell, a civil war veteran, whose death occurred in 1914. They were the parents of five children, Mrs. Lillian Roberts and Frank Maxwell, living at Sidney; Mrs. Della Taylor of Hamburg; Mrs. Ollie Gilbert of Grand Island, Nebraska; and Mrs. Clara Yowell, who died in 1916. Surviving also are eight grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren, four sisters and two brothers. Mrs. Maxwell had been a member of Sidney Methodist church for many years. Most of her married life had been spent on the farm two miles west of Sidney, and she was held in loving reverence for her neighborly kindness and unselfish service in time of need. Since the death of Mr. Maxwell, her son Frank has carried on the farm work, and during the past several years Mrs. Roberts, herself now a widow, has lived at home to cheeer her mother's declining years.
