Star Clipper, Friday, July 7th, 1911 page 1
Charles Maxwell died Friday last, at the home of his daughter Traer, Jessie Lewis, near Marion, where he had gone a month before to visit. He was a victim of kidney trouble and suffered an attack of grip last winter, from which he did not recover fully. He became worse at his daughter's, and hardening of the arteries followed, which was the direct cause of his death. All his children were at his bedside in his last days, as follows: Gilbert, of Lane, South Dakota; and Frank, of New Mexico, who were summoned by telegraph; Mrs. Frank Stark, John and Andrew, of Traer; Mrs. Jessie Lewis, Marion; Maggie, a nurse, of Cedar Rapids. The body was brought to Traer and the funeral was held at the United Presbyterian church Monday afternoon. Services were conducted by Rev. J. N. Currens.
Mr. Maxwell was a member of the G. A. R. post of this city, and they had charge of the funeral, as was the desire of the deceased. The body was laid to rest in Buckingham cemetery. The sons and sons-in-law acted as pall bearers. Charles Maxwell was one of the honorable pioneers of north Tama. For nearly half a century he has lived among us and by his daily walk held the esteem of his neighbors. He was a man of tender heart, a man who meant to do the right. He was born in Lanarkshire, Scotland, January 12, 1844, and came to America with his parents in 1855. He enlisted in the 15th vol. infantry of Illinois and was a faithful defender of the flag. In 1870 he married Mary McDowall, who was the mother of all the seven children. She died in 1893 and in 1897 he married Miss Allison Pollock who survives.
Deceased was a farmer near Traer many years and owned a choice farm at his death, but of late years he has resided in Traer. He was one of the early members of Tranquillity church and his name remained upon the rolls of that church up to his death. His life was worthy of the place.
