At the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Hayden, No. 440 Fifteenth street, at 10:30 o'clock p. m., Saturday, February 26, 1898, Mrs. I. N. Maxwell, of New Whatcom, Washington, age 44 years.
On Friday evening early the deceased lady safely and happily passed the ordeal of accounchement, and her physicians and family were sanguine that she and her little son would thrive apace, but at noon yesterday Mrs. Maxwell was taken suddenly with a convulsion that resulted in total unconsiousness, from which she did not rally. The stricken husband is at present in Seattle, and the sad news was wired him last night. Deceased was the eldest daughter of Hon. and Mrs. Ben Hayden, and a sister of District Attorney S. L. Hayden, Miss Estella Hayden and Clell Hayden.
