11, 1901 Mrs. Maynor Dead She Died at Her Home on Randolph Street Late Yesterday Afternoon
Mrs. Mary E. Maynor, wife of Joseph Maynor, died at her home on Randolph Street, about 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
She was stricken with paralysis some time ago and added to this she was suffering with a complication of diseases. These caused
her death. The deceased was probably little more than fifty years of age and was well
known to the people living in that part of the city. During her sickness she stood her suffering bravely and with patience.
She left a husband and eight children, four sons and an equal number of daughters.
The funeral service will be conducted from the residence this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock
by W. H. Cunninggim, pastor of Main Street Methodist Church. After the funeral services the remains will be interred in the
city cemetery. The friends of the family sympathize with them in their trouble and sorrow. DURHAM MORNING HERALD NEWSPAPER DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA July 7, 1917 MR. JOSEPH MAYNOR DIED YESTERDAY Mr. Joseph Maynor died quite suddenly at the home of his daughter, Mrs.
