In Milton, Rock Co., Wis., Feb. 17th, 1855, of pleurisy, Deacon Nathan Maxson, in the 36th year of his age. He was confined only about three days. He embraced the cause of Christ when young, in Alfred, Allegany Co., N, Y., where he was chosen to the office of deacon. From thence he moved to the place of his death. He connected himself with the Milton Church, where he won, by his devotion to the cause of Christ, the confidence and respect of all who knew him. He will be very much missed in the church and community where he lived; but more deeply than all others, will his widow and four children feel the loss of an affectionate and devoted husband and father, and they are only consoled in the thought that he triumphantly 'died in the Lord.'
