General Notes: Husband - James Maxwell Proudfit

---

According to the testimony of all who remembered him, "Maxwell" was a child of uncommonly attractive personality. In suggesting that, something more than a mere mention would not be inappropriate to his memory, William S. Proudfit, Sr., of Chicago, writes: "You can judge how I regarded him, when I named my boy after him, twenty years after his death. He was the most amiable and lovely child I ever knew.")
