The Cairo Messenger, Friday, March 14, 1919 
Mrs. C. A. Mauldin Died Here Friday

On Friday morning, March 7th at 8:20 o'clock as the sun persistently burst 
through the low-lying mists of the day before and shone out in all its 
magnificence, Heaven and earth met in a little cottage of our town and God's 
voice spoke and called home to glory the spirit of Mrs. Clara Angeline Mauldin.

Mrs. Mauldin was born in Muscogee county, Ga., on Feb. 7th, 1852.  She moved to 
Thomas County as a girl.  She was married in Thomasville on November 9th, 1873 
to Mr. Benjamin Wyatt Mauldin, who was at that time a young school teacher of 
that county.  They resided in Thomasville for two years after their marriage, 
moving then to Cairo.

In the passing away of Mrs. Mauldin, we give up one of our old landmarks, and 
also one of our best loved friends — for who of us, the young and the old 
alike, have not felt the personal touch of this good woman in one or more of 
her many forms of attack?  

Her life, though simple in the extreme, has been characterized all through the 
years by its steady upward trend.  She has been noted for her charity, her 
hospitality, her independence, her industry, her cheerfulness, and complete 
surrender of self, making in the one the well-rounded Christian character as we 
all knew her.

If we are ever to profit by another's example, we feel free in saying that hers 
would be one worth of study and emulation.

Her bright face is gone; she goes in and out among us no more, busy with her 
daily tasks.  We miss the voice, rich with its words of cheerfulness, but the 
influence of her life will always be felt among us.

With a sweet simple service at the grave, her pastor, Dr. J. A. Wynne, of the 
Baptist Church, assisted by Rev. W. C. Jones, her body was laid to rest on 
Saturday morning aside that of the faithful husband, who had preceded her by 
thirty years.

Mrs. Mauldin leaves to revere her memory, five children, J. L., with two sons, 
James and Therodore; C. E. with one son, Hugh, and three daughters, Marifrank, 
Clara and Barbara; B. W. with one daughter, Martha Jene; Mrs. W. T. Coleman of 
Crestview, Fla., with one son, Walter, Jr., and Miss Hattie Mauldin of Cairo.
