A careful estimate showed that at least sixty-four persons were present, which shows the esteem and respect in which he is held by his neighbors. Mr. Keith was born in Monroe County, Ind.

For nearly twenty years Professor Maiden had been a prominent figure in educational matters and politics in Barry County. In 1881 he came here to take charge of the Cassville School as principal, which position he retained continuously until defeat in the spring election of 1887. As an education he obtained wide reputation and was recognized as one of the foremost in the southwest.

In 1869 he moved to Springfield, Missouri, and taught four years each at Union Hall, Walnut Grove and Ebenezer. In 1872 he was nominated for school commissioner of Greene County, and in 1876, was appointed commissioner to fill a vacancy. In 1881 he was granted a state certificate for life. Politically, Professor Maiden was a Democrat, and belonged to the Missionary Baptist Church. He was a member of Cassville Lodge No. 238, I.O.O.F., under whose auspices the services were held at the Baptist Church, Sunday, after which interment occurred in the Cassville Cemetery. Rev. J. M. Hively of Exeter conducted the religious services. Members of the order and many friends from Purdy, Exeter, Washburn, and other places were present.
