WILLIAM MAXWELL IS CALLED BEYOND - WAS AMONG PIONEERS OF THIS COMMUNITY - SPLENDID CITIZEN GONE

Made Early Home Near Spring Creek Church - Made Home in Town For Several Years

Following an illness of slightly over a month's duration W. E. Maxwell passed away Sunday morning. His serious illness came as a surprise to his many friends as Mr. Maxwell had the appearance of rugged health, especially after his return from a winter in Florida. His illness was serious from the first and the wearied body gave up the struggle early Sunday morning.

The following obituary was prepared by his pastor, Rev. Edmondson:
William E. Maxwell was born at Fairfield, Iowa, December 16, 1854. While just a boy he moved with his parents to Charlton, Iowa, where he grew to young manhood. He came to Oakland in 1876 and was married to Sarah Timberman, September 5, 1878. Four children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell, one son, Coyd Maxwell of Oakland, and three daughters, Mrs. Russell Nash, Mrs. Carl Hannah and Mrs. Bert Bruen, all of Oakland. Mr. Maxwell was stricken with heart failure, September the tenth, and was in a dangerous condition from the very first attack. He was confined to his home from the time of the very first attack and the most of the time he was confined to his bed. He made a courageous fight to regain health and strength from the very first. He never gave up hope until Friday, noon, before his death early Sunday morning. He told his son he would have to give it up.

He failed rapidly from that time on until his death at three o'clock and ten minutes Sunday morning. Brother Maxwell might be recognized as among the pioneers of this country. He helped in the development of this splendid agricultural section. Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell spent their early married life in a farm near the Spring Creek church. Later he purchased the farm now owned by Lavern Ballinger, and made this the family home until the time of his retirement from the farm in 1914, when he built the residence near the high school, where the remaining the Christ upon his life in his young manhood. He was converted and united with the Spring Creek Methodist Episcopal church in 1884.

In 1901 he transferred his membership to the Oakland Methodist Episcopal church, of which he was a member at the time of his death. Mr. Maxwell was a quiet man in his religious profession, but his life of uprightness and integrity, as well as love for the church and his Christ were the best evidence of his relationship to his God. On Friday afternoon when he told his son that he would have to give up the effort to regain health, he said, quietly but with deep sincerity to the loved ones gathered about him, "God bless you all." This prayer for his dear ones were among the last words spoke on earth. The loss of this splendid citizen is sustained by the wife and companion, the son and daughters named above, ten grandchildren, four brothers, Albert A. Maxwell, of Los Angeles, California, Monroe Maxwell, of Kansas City, Missouri; H. Maxwell of Charlton, Iowa and one sister, Mrs. Joe H. Curtis, of Charlton, Iowa, the many more distant relatives and large number of friends. He died October 16, 1921, aged 66 years and 10 months.

Notes:

My grandfather, Charles Harve and his brother, Uncle Ed were the only ones I remember. They both lived with us for a long time. Uncle Ed was not very well liked by my mother. Grandpa, on the other hand, was a wonderful grandpa and loved by all in the family. He did go to Oregon and lived with us for many years. How he ever put up with all nine of us kids, I will never understand. He used to play his violin when I practiced on the piano and tried to help me learn the violin but I got interested in other things and quit playing. He used to share time between us and Aunt Lima but as he got older he went to Washington and lived with Aunt Janita. They had only one child.
