The death of Mr. Horatio Walker Maxson, which occurred at the home of his son, W. B. Maxson, in the village of Milton, Oct. 9, 1909, removes from us another of the old settlers in this part of Wisconsin. Mr. Maxson was born in the town of Sweden, Monroe County, in the state of New York, Nov. 26, 1827. The family lived for a short time in Alfred, N. Y., but in 1845, when the subject of this notice was 18 years of age, they moved to Wisconsin, and settled in the town of Albion. In 1854 he was married to Miss Sara C. Carr, daughter of Peleg and Deborah Goodrich Carr and sister of S. C. and J. G. Carr, and in 1855 he moved to the farm in the western part of the town of Milton. In 1884 Mrs. Maxson died. Four of six children born to them died also, leaving Mr. Maxson with two children, a son, Mr. W. B. Maxson, and a daughter, now Mrs. T. I. Place. With these children he has had a home all the later years of his life, and by them he has been most tenderly cared for during the long years of failing health. Mr. Maxson traced his descent, in direct line, from one John Maxson, an early settler in New England, having taken active part in the affairs of the colony of Rhode Island as early as 1638. He inherited many of the sterling qualities which characterized the Maxsons of the colonial days. He was a man of strong convictions and independent thought, but a man of few words. He loved peace and sought the welfare of his fellow man. From early youth he was a member of the 2nd Alfred (N. Y.) S. D. B. church. The funeral was held at the home of his son, where the last years of his life were spent, Monday afternoon, conducted by Dr. Platts. The College Male Quartet sang two selections at the house and one at the burial. Thus Mr. Maxson passes from our sight but his name will long linger in the memory of Milton people.

Died in Milton, Wis., October 9, 1909, Mr. Horatio W. Maxson, nearly 82 years of age. Mr. Maxson was one of several children born to Charles and Catherine Saunders Maxson, in the town of Sweden, Monroe County, New York, and came by direct descent from John Maxson of New England, who appeared as early as 1638. The family lived for a short time at Alfred, but moved to Wisconsin in 1845, when the subject of this notice was eighteen yeas of age. In 1854 he was married to Sara C. Carr, daughter of Peleg and Deborah Goodrich Carr, and in 1863 they moved to a farm in the town of Milton. Since the death of his wife, which occurred in 1884, he has lived with a daughter, now Mrs. T. I. Place, or a son, Mr. W. B. Maxson, who are now the sole survivors of his family. When but a lad Mr. Maxson professed faith in Christ and united by baptism with the Second Alfred Church, from which he never removed his membership. He was a man of positive convictions and held to them with steadfast purpose, though not given to many words. He loved peace, and was a promoter of the public good. After a prolonged period of growing infirmity he met death without fear and entered into rest. L. A. P.
