Stony Lee was born in Coryell county near Gatesville, to the late J.W. and Nellie Rutherford Maxwell. In 10th grade, he decided to stay at home and help out on the farm. On December 12, 1933, he married Edith May Wilkinson. They farmed in the Hewitt area for a few years, then moved to Waco where he worked as a mechanic for Chrysler-Plymouth. He had his own shop for a while then worked for Waco Dodge until retirment.
S.L. and Edith had rent property in the Baylor area and enjoyed doing for their 'kids', the Baylor students. S.L. loved his music, playing many musical instruments. He loved to go to Pearl to see and listen to the many performers. The first Saturday of the month was his Pearl Day.
He was a master at wood working which was his greatest hobby. One of the mahogany boats he built is still in operation. His greatest pride was building grandfather clocks. They were perfect in every way, down to the last tick-tock. He has them in states from Texas to Alaska.
He is survived by his wife Edith Maxwell; sister Christine Cooper, of Hobbs, N.M.; brother, Bill Maxwell, of Waco; and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
