At his home in North Loup, Nebr., Aug. 25, 1910, Mr. Lucian L. Maxson aged 60 years 2 months and 2 days.
Mr. Maxson, the son of John R. and Mary Ann Maxson, was born in Lynn, Walworth Co., Wis., June 23, 1850 and lived near his birthplace until 12 years old, then moved with his parents to Alden, Minn. There he grew into manhood and Dec. 24, 1874 married Miss Florence Adel Crandall, daughter of Geo. Maxson Crandall of this place and Elizabeth Crandall, deceased.
In the fall of 1879 they left Alden and moved to North Loup where he and his family continued to live until the time of his death, covering a period of 31 years. His christian wife, though in very poor health, survives him and their two boys, George S. and Esli L., in connection with her aged father, still in good hearth, will tenderly care for her in her bereavement and be her support in the future. Mr. Maxson was one of our thrifty citizens and so we find he left his wife and children unencumbered a good village home and a valuable little farm of sixty acres. The funeral services, held at that family residence, were conducted by the writer assisted by Rev. E. A. Wells of this village. Rev. Geo. B. Shaw being absent in West Va. Oscar Babcock.
