Ed Maxwell, A righteous man was born number four in the birth order of eight children to John Alexander and Caroline Wyss Maxwell..
Ed Grew up in Brockway, living on Buzzard street. His grandfather Alexander Maxwell of Lanes Mills being one of the early pioneers of this area. Additionally, buried in the old section of Beechwoods are Great Aunts and Uncles from the early 1800's. Through his grandmother,Mary Ann Smith, His lineage goes back to the Groves who are early pioneers of this place.

In the year 1919 Ed married Maud Greenalch, about that time he went to work on the Pittsburg -Shawmut railroad where he worked until he retired.
During the depression years, Ed and Maud bought land, and built a home between Brockway and Dubois. Ed hand digging the rocks that would make up the beautiful fireplace.
Per cousin Maurice : to get to the house, turn left to go on 80, and the house was on a hill on the right. It was not completed until the 50's. . In the late 60's the state through eminent domain took the land to build a freeway. The house was bought and moved. From the freeway, you can still see the grove of pine trees Ed had planted.
This was a life event that weighed heavy on the hearts of Ed and Maud who bought a home in Falls Creek, and remained there till their last days.
