Hessie Maxey Buried

The unfortunate young woman who died in the Hospital Tuesday morning from the effects of cocaine was given a Christian burial yesterday afternoon. Preceding the interment, which was held in Waring's parlor, in the presence of the father and sister and other relatives of the deceased and several friends. The remarks of Rev. Dr. Smith of the Presbyterian church were sonifully impressive and moved to tears those who heard him. His words were fortifying with the hopeful inspiration drawn from the example of a repentant Magdalen. In paying this last tribute to the deceased, the relatives did all that they could for the frail victim who was dear to them. In this death and burial is a moral which is stronger than a written or spoken sermon.
