NOTES:
Maxine Davis was the daughter of Jessie and Anna Davis. At the time of her birth, the family lived in Grant township, Washington county, Nebraska. By 1940, the family had relocated just north to Craig township, Burt county, Nebraska.
On February 20, 1946, Maxine Davis married Paul Schneider, a Staff Sergeant who served in the US Army in World War II, in Washington County, Nebraska. The Schneider's were regarded as great neighbors, a very fun loving couple, and a pleasure to be around.
Paul passed away on May 14, 1984, and on January 19, 1985, Maxine married Titus "John" Shotwell in Washington County, Nebraska as his second wife. As recalled by friend and neighbor, Connie Buller, "Maxine and John were active in the Methodist Church of Blair. They cooked for the weekly Methodist Church suppers, which were open to the community, with the proceeds going to benefit the church."
Maxine was further recalled by Ms. Buller to be "a great cook, in later years sending homemade cinnamon rolls and other desserts to the volunteers at Washington County Recycling Association on Saturday mornings."
Ms. Davis-Schneider-Shotwell, in summary, was widely regarded as someone who possessed a positive and sunny disposition. She was kind, considerate, very civic minded and generous in spirit. She is remembered as someone who strove to make the Blair a community a better place to live, and I am sure that is exactly what she did.
