In Ashaway, R. I., Feb. 14, 1888, of congestion of the lungs, Horace Maxson, son of Nathan and Ruth (Crandall) Maxson, and grandson of Joseph Maxson. He was born May 17, 1818, in Ashaway, in the "Old Maxson homestead," where his father was born, and where he passed most of his life. Brother Maxson was a sailor in his earlier days. He united with the First Seventh-day Baptist Church of Hopkinton, in 1831. Last winter, during the extra meetings, his spiritual interests were much revived, and during his brief sickness of four days he expressed his trust in God.
A wife and three children mourn him. He was an obliging neighbor, a genial companion, and an affectionate father. I. L. C.
