Maidment died at the home of his parents in this city on Sunday morning, Feb. 5th. His remains were taken to Williamsburg, Kan., for interment on Monday. Readers of the Conservator will remember that Mr. Maidment was the victim of a disaster at mine No. 5 on the 22nd of December, 1891, and from which he never recovered. His back was broken, and notwithstanding the efforts of the best surgical talent of this place, Kansas City and other places, nothing could be done to relieve him. Ever since the accident he has been perfectly helpless a part of his body and his lower limbs being paralyzed and useless. Throughout all his sufferings, however, he was cheerful and hopeful and was confident he would ultimately recover. He was a hard working and industrious young man and his death is sincerely regretted by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by Jenna Zunker USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free genealogical information on the Internet, data may be freely used for personal research and by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
