Death of Dr. S.C. Maxwell
Dr. S.C. Maxwell, a former well known physician and prominent citizen of Remington, died last Saturday, May 12, at his home at Duluth, Minn. About 18 months ago he had a very bad attack of erysipelas, probably conracted during the course of his medical practice. The disease permeated and poisoned his whole system, and from its effects, and then finally extended to the brain, causing paresis, or softening of the organ.
He went to Duluth some 12 or 14 year ago, and became very prominent in his profession, having for years been the official physician of several of the large railroad companies which terminate there.
He leaves a widow, who is a sister of Hon. Robert Parker, of Remington, and three daughters and one son, the latter being there.
The body has been brought back youngest, but old enough to have enlisted during the Spanish war, to Remington, for burial and the funeral was held there Wednesday at 10 o'clock a.m.
