Jacob Sheffield Maxson, M. D., was born in Clarke County, Ohio, September 10, 1836. When about seventeen years of age he made a profession of religion under the preaching of Eld. Thomas E. Babcock, and united with the Jackson Centre Seventh-day Baptist church. In 1874 he was married to Miss Mary L. Thomas, of Albion, Wis., Eld. Thomas E. Babcock officiating, assisted by Prof. Cornwall.
Dr. Maxson attended Albion Academy, and received his medical education in Chicago and Cincinnati, graduating in the latter city. He afterward took a post-graduate course in New Orleans. Besides teaching two years at Walworth, Wis., he taught music in many places.
He remained a member of the Seventh-day Baptist denomination till 1887, when he united with the Seventh-day Adventists, and entered upon the work of his profession in Texas. One year later he went to Mt. Vernon, Ohio, where for a time he was at work in the Sanitarium. He then went to Battle Creek, Mich., where for three years he was connected with the sanitarium.
Last March he removed to Boulder, Col., purposing to enter upon work in the Boulder Sanitarium, but he was taken with a severe attack of pneumonia about ten days after his arrival, which terminated in consumption.
While at Boulder Dr. Kellogg, of Battle Creek, visited him, to see if his condition was such as would warrant him in accepting a recent call to mission work in Africa. A speedy change to a lower altitude was advised. Mr. Maxson, still hopeful that he would recover, decided to start for New York City, thinking that the ocean voyage would restore him to health. A visit with friends in Wisconsin gave needed rest, but he was gradually sinking, and eleven days after reaching his old home and relatives in Ohio he quietly passed away.
From childhood he was religiously inclined, and he grew more spiritually-minded to the close of his life. "He was willing to go to the ends of the earth" for God's honor and the good of man.
At the time of his death he was a member of the Seventh-day Adventist church at BattIe Creek, Mich. The funeral services were held in the Seventh-day Baptist church, at Jackson Centre, Ohio, Rev. Eli VanHorn preaching from Rev. 14: 13.
