Maudy was only 16 when she was said by her nephew to have accidentally swallowed some metal pins she was holding in her mouth for her job in the mill, she died a couple of days later, probably from peritonitis. She was said to have been "the apple of her father's eye", his favorite child. The family had been looking forward to traveling on the train from the mill in Spartanburg County back to Meadowfork Creek in Madison County for the annual Baptist Association meeting which was to be held at Meadowfork Baptist Church that year, and her father had had two new white dresses made for Maudy for the occasion. They dressed Maudy in both of the white dresses for her burial and took her coffin back to Meadowfork on the train to be buried where her mother was from.
