Macy* After an illness of long standing, Mrs. J. C. Macy passed away at her home in Woodston, the morning of January 26, 1916. She is survived by her husband and seven children, all of whom were at her bedside when death came. Adelia George was born near Pleasant Plain, Iowa, August 26, 1856, being 59 years and five months old when she died. She was married October 5, 1876, to John C. Macy, and came with him to Rooks County in November, 1878, settling on their claim in Ash Rock Township where they lived until they moved to Woodston four years ago. Here sons, William C., Wilford R., James F. and Walter R., all live in Ash Rock Township; her daughters, Mrs. J. W. Goodwin, and Miss Ella Macy live in Woodston and Mrs. Roy Bonebrake lives in Stockton. She also left 13 grandchildren and one brother, the latter still living on the old home place in Iowa. Soon after coming to this country she united with the Friends Church, of which she has been a consistent member ever since, though often attending the Congregationalist, Methodist and United Brethren churches when they were the ones in her vicinity, being a firm believer in the religion of Jesus Christ and considering it her duty to work for His cause, regardless of what the name of the church might be. After moving to Woodston she was especially active in church work, being a member of the U. B. Sunday School, Christian Endeavor and Mite Society and was for some time president of the W. C. T. U. The funeral services were held at the Woodston U. B. church last Thursday, conducting by Rev. Manion, assisted by Rev. Clark, the Friends Church minister at Mt. Ayer. It was her request that Rev. Manion preach her funeral and use for his text, Mark 14:8, 'she hath done what she could.' To those who knew her the text seems very appropriate indeed. An early settler and pioneer in a new country, she necessarily met with many hardships but always uncomplainingly 'hath done what she could' to help those about her; a willing work in time of need; and in sickness often denying herself the comforts of life for others even beyond her bodily strength. Of a loving, trusting nature, she inspired in her children an unusual amount of filial love and respect and her loss will be hard for them to bear; but to them and all who knew her the memory of her unselfish life must ever be an inspiration for them to make the best of their lives, whether their opportunities be great or small. Being herself good and pure of heart, she could see no evil in others and died without an ill-wisher in the world. Truly, 'she hath done what she could' and her many little daily acts of kindness and self-denials have made a sum that would be hard to estimate and which will always keep the memory of her fresh in the minds of those she left behind. She was laid to rest in the little cemetery at the Spring Branch Church, near her old home in Ash Rock Township. *The Stockton Review, Stockton, Kansas, February 10, 1916.
