| 4805 | King.GEDCOM. Electronic. Date of Import: December13, 2001. [Bier.FTW] [Don Maxwell .FTW] A History of the State of Oklahoma by Luther B. Hill, A. B. vol. II, The Lewis Publishing Company, 1908 Arthur W. Maxwell. The present receiver of the U. S. land office at Lawton is Arthur W. Maxwell, who received appointment to that office from President Roosevelt on December 24, 1905, and who has since been a resident of Lawton. Besides being known as a capable public offical, Mr. Maxwell is recognized as one of the ablest newspaper men of the state. He is president of the company that publishes the Semi-Weekly Star at Lawton. It was in the newspaper business that Mr. Maxwell got his start and first displayed that ability in the organization and management of men and affairs that has made his career - he is only thirty-seven years of age - one of remarkable progress and accomplishment. Shortly before coming to Oklahoma he had taken a practical part in politics that gave him national prominence during the campaign of 1904. Born and reared in Jefferson county, Iowa, he had finished his education in the high school at Fairfield, that county, and had then laid the foundation for his newspaper career by learning the printer's trade in his home town. Some time later he founded, and for thirteen years was editor and publisher of the Seymour (Iowa) Leader. The Leader was a Democratic journal, and the ability with which it was conducted soon brought it into prominence not only locally but as one of the influential Democratic papers of the state. From observing and influencing politics as an editor, he was soon transferred to the practical work of political management. As a political organizer and campaign manager he proved as efficient as he had been in the editor's chair , and the result was that, although a young man, he was rapidly promoted from the ranks until, in the presidential campaign of 1904, he was made chairman of the Iowa State Democratic executive committee, and was also elected alternate delegate at large to the National Democratic convention of that year in St. Louis. During the preceding five years Mr. Maxwell had been a member of the state executive committee. When the lines were being drawn in the contest between the various candidates for the presidential nomination by the Democratic convention, he championed the cause of William R. Hearst in opposition to Judge Parker, in the sincere belief that the corporate influences supporting Parker and antagonistic to Hearst, made the latter's candidacy more consistent with Democratic principles and more likely to achieve sucess at the polls. As chairman of the state central committee he effected a thorough organization in everycounty in Iowa to support Hearst. He and his associates went out into all the districts according to a systematic plan and by personal solicitation enlisted the support of representative citizens in each county. As a result, notwithstanding bitter aopposition on the part of a number of politicians in the party, Iowa sent a Hearst delegation to St. Louis. This is rightly credited to Mr. Maxwell as a somewhat remarkable achievement, when one takes into consideration the well known conservatism of the average Iowan. The St. Louis conventionplaced the Democratic party on such a basis, that Mr. Maxwell, who was a thorough admirer of the character and principles of Theodore Roosevelt, decided to become an independent Republican, and accordingly on the 17th of July resigned the chairmanship of the state central committee. During the rest of the campaign he was an active worker on the Republican side in Missouri, making twenty-five speeches for Roosevelt in that state, and no doubt was one of the effective influences that caused that rock-dibbed Democratic commonwealth to give a majority to Roosevelt. During the campaign he established, at Moberly, Missouri, a Republican paper named the Tribune. Mr. Maxwell knows the newspaper business from the very fundamentals, and aside from his political activity that has been his chief occupation. He was married in Iowa to Miss Clara M. Peterson, and they have four children - Harry C., Clarence M., Raymond L., and Robert C. Lawton (OK) News, Jan 25, 1906 Mr. Maxwell Wants Harmony He Gives Oklahomans a Little Advice without Butting in to Affairs Hon. A. W. Maxwell, of Moberly, Missouri, whom President Roosevelt appointed receiver of the United States land office at Lawton, as a reward for Maxwell's services for the party during the memorable campaign of 1904, says that when he arrives in Oklahoma he will not "but in" to factional affairs. In last week's issue of the Moberly (Mo.) Tribune, of which Mr. Maxwell is editor, he says: "Ex-Gov. Tom Ferguson, of Oklahoma, will be a candidate for Delegate to Congress to succeed Delegate McGuire in the even that the territory is not admitted as a state. Ferguson's friends feel that the Ex-Governor has not been fairly treated by the McGuire faction and are of the opinion that the most effective way to punish the Oklahoma Delegate is to send Ferguson to Congress as McGuire's successor. "It is very evident to the Tribune man that he is landing in Oklahoma in time to see a very pretty fight between the factions of the state. That reminds me that we received a letter from Oklahoma some days ago in which it was suggested that if we (the editor) had power enough to harmonize the two factions in Oklahoma we would be the `biggest' man in the teritory. Another case of where `if' is painfully in the way. It would be nice to be the `biggest' man in the territory and show Gov. Frantz, Delegate McGuire, Dennis Flynn and other big ones where to `head in,' but as President Roosevelt has tried in vain to harmonize the factions, we are of the opinion that the Tribune editor will find plenty to do by attending strictly to his duties as Receiver of the Land Office at Lawton. We have seen the time that we were determined to have harmony even if we had to fight for it, but that was when we were more combative than now. Seriously speaking, however, from this distance it would seem that the interests of the party would demand that the leaders of the factions get together, bury theor differences and resolve to work together in a spirit of harmony, with a view to rolling up a good safe republican majority when the territories are admitted as one state. Beyond giving this little bit of good advice we shall not attempt to "butt in". {Obituary from the Ledger, Fairfield, IA, Oct. 3, 1929, p. 1, col. 4} Maxwell Rites Here Tomorrow Body of Former Fairfield Resident Arrived here Today from Home in Dixon, Ill. Funeral services for Arthur W.

Smith will be in charge and interment will be in Evergreen cemetery. The body arrived here today accompanied by the widow and the oldest son, Harry, who had come from his home in Dallas, Texas, a week ago to be with his father. Mr. Maxwell's death was due to paralysis. He was born in Fairfield, March 20 , 1871, and was educated in the public schools, and learned the printing trade in the Tribune office. At the age of 20 he went to Seymour and started a newspaper, the Leader, and was active in politics, being sent by the Republican national committee to stump for[President Teddy] Roosevelt in the campaign in which Missouri first went into the republican ranks. The victory gave him political prestige and [President Teddy] Roosevelt made him receiver of public monies at the land office at Lawton, Oklahoma. He became financially interested in the Guthrie Times[newspaper] and engaged in the capital location fight in which Guthrie lost to Oklahoma City. In 1917 he came back north and established the Pioneer Service company, a collection agency, in Dixon[Illinois] with which he was connected to the time of his death. He married Miss Matilda Peterson here, December 24, 1890 and to them were born six children, Harry, whose house is in Dallas, Raymond, Clarence, James, Robert, Julian and Marjorie, who all live in Oklahoma City. He was married again in 1919, his bride being Miss Elizabeth Timme of Storm Lake[Iowa]. ARTHUR WALTER MAXWELL WAS BURIED AT EVERGREEN CEM. IN JEFFERSON COUNTY, IOWA.

| 4809 | King.GEDCOM. Electronic. Date of Import: December13, 2001. [Bier.FTW] [Don Maxwell .FTW] Captain Abraham Chaplin - One of Harrod's Men from The Harrodsburg Herald, Thur., Jul. 13, 1972, Mercer Co., KY Abraham Chaplin was one of the Harrod Company of 1774, who came to what is now Harrodsburg(Ky) and helped to map out the town. While exploring the surrounding country from the station camp, Chaplin discovered a fork of Salt River which now bears his name - Chaplin Fork. Abraham was descended from a respectable family who came from England to Virginia. His father was said to have been William Chaplin and his mother, Ann Foreman. There is no proof, however, of this conjectured parentage. We do have proof that Abraham Chaplin was born on the 27th day of December in 1754, in then Frederick County, now Jefferson County, Virginia. The Chaplin home farm was on the banks of the Potomac River. It was here his father died and the farm later was occupied by some of his grandchildren. When his father died, five year-old Abraham was left only about sixty pounds. His father had land sufficient for only some of his children. Soon after the elder Chaplin died, Abraham's mother remarried. Abraham's inheritance, which was to be paid him at the age of twenty-one without interest, fell into the hands of his step-father. When Chaplin did reach the age of twenty-one, the sum was exhausted, except a "pittance and some clothes." At the age of fifteen, Abraham Chaplin left home and lived with his sister and brother-in-law for about two years. When he was seventeen he emigrated to the "western country, Washington County, Penn. On Shurtee's Creek, near the Ohio River." With the tiny sum left from his inheritance, he settled on a tract of land in the wilderness. Chaplin worked his land and raised a crop of corn in 1773. There were but two families within twenty miles at this time. Abraham lived in a "camp and sometimes would not see any human being for three or four weeks." Chaplin later said that he thought of the unequal division made by his father. It drove him to place himself upon "footing with his brothers and sisters to reflect on his parent for thus treating him." At this time, lands were low and might be had for the first settlers. But land was growing in value, and the sum Chaplin had been given was lessening. He was left to shift for himself. In March of 1774, Chaplin heard that James Harrod was going down the Ohio in search of lands to settle on. When Chaplin heard that Harrod would leave withini a few days, he was falling a large black ash tree for rails to enclose his little farm. Overwhelmed by the thought of more land in a better country, "I (Chaplin) Immediately took my axe and prepared to go." The day appointed, the group gathered on Mad River, Zane Creek, now in Ohio County. "Harrod had upward of thirty men with him - met and was joyfully received by the company." They moved off in their canoes to the Great Kanawha River, floating all night and arriving in a few days at the mouth of the Kentucky River. In a narrative written by Captain Chaplin, he says that: "We proceeded up the Kentucky to a place known by the name of Harrod's Landing and then went out on the south side of the Kentucky in search of good land and made improvements and at the same time laid out Harrodsburg." The party stayed for some time exploring the country until "we started through the wilderness to the Holston where they were embodying to go against the Indians. Then Captain Harrod selected his men to accompany him on this campaign and I was one of the first to volunteer and a greater number also enlisted and marched to join Lewis' regiment." Abraham Chaplin was back in Kentucky with the Harrod Company when they arrived in Harrodsburg in 1775. On Oct. 26, 1779, at a court held at Harrodsburg for adjusting disputed titles to Kentucky lands, Abraham Chaplin recovered and received a 1400 acre tract of land: "right to a settlement (400 acres) and preemption (1000 acres) tract of land lying about four miles NE from Harrodsburg on waters of Shawnee Run including a sinking spring by improvements on the said land the year 1774." Captain Abraham Chaplin served as an officer in the Illinois Regiment under George Rogers Clark. He was one of the first trustees of the town of Harodsburg. In 1793, he was married to Elizabeth Higgins, daughter of Robert Higgins, Jr. and - - - - - Wright. It was about this time that Abraham must have started the building of a home on his 1400 acre tract. The home and graveyard being located on the present farm of Mrs. Loyd Lay on the Lexington Road, about two miles east of Harrodsburg. The family graveyard still remains and therein are buried Capt. Abraham Chaplin, his first and second wives,and some of their children. A sister of Capt. Chaplin and his brother-in-law, Captain and Mrs.(George) McCormack, are also buried there. In a letter written by Capt. Chaplin in 1802, he says that " I am nearly done building and am much in debt." In June 1812 he closed a letter "Abrm Chaplin, Pleasant Fields". Thus, the home may have been given the name " Pleasant Fields." In Feb. 1809 he wrote: " Last year I belonged to the House of Representatives and I have begun to exercise my small talents on politics and next election for the Senate if elected will be for four years." In Aug. of 1810 he wrote: " It will surprise you especially that Benj. D. Price was at my house and all his family except one brother has turned Shaking Quakers...I am much surprised to find among them several Presbyterians, Baptist, and Methodist ministers who are very devout in their methods of worship." In March of 1812, Capt. Chaplin wrote: " You wish to know concerning Benjamin D. Price - it will surprise you, he now lives on the Wabash in Indiana Country and has for many years, all except two or three all turned Shaking Quakers...Our last Legislature has made a law favourable to women where their husbands joined that society...I am of the opinion that the farmers of the Federal Constitution never dreamed that Religious enthusiasm would ever prompt them to less solution of the Human Race by means as population...For five years I have been in Legislative Councils, four of which in the Senate and one year in the House of Representatives and have yet one session more to serve in the Senate." In March of 1819, Abraham Chaplin was married, for a second time, to Mrs. Hannah Moore. Capt. Chaplin died Jan. 19, 1824. He was survived by his 2nd wife, Hannah Chaplin and the following children: Jacob Rogers Chaplin m. Elizabeth Moore, May 29, 1819. Isaac Chaplin m. Virginia Woodson, 1812. Indiana Chaplin m.

The first Abraham Chaplin, Jr., son of Captain Abraham and Elizabeth Higgins Chaplin, is buried in the family graveyard - Dr. Abraham Chaplin, Jr. died Sept. 7, 1815 age 22 years.

Donald Power Maxwell, Jr., joined as a member-at-large on November 14, 1994. He bases his right to membership on several Civil War ancestors. The Maxwell family were among the first pioneers to settle in Fairfield, Jefferson County, Iowa, in 1849. The patriarch, Benjamin Maxwell served as a private in Co. F, 3rd IA Cav., from September 4, 1861 to September 14, 1862, when he obtained a medical discharge after injuring his wrist falling from his mount "pursuing rebels" in Mexico, MS. Benjamin misstated his age by ten years to qualify for service. Apparently, he was not the only one to do so, as referenced by the famous Iowa regiment nickname of "The Gray Beards". Benjamin had three sons who also served: 1. William Whistler Maxwell, of Co. F, 3rd IA Cav., who mustered in on August 30 , 1861. 2. Pvt. Abner B. Maxwell, of Co. f, 3rd IA Cav., whe served from August 30, 1861 to September 19, 1864. 3. 2nd Cpl. Harvey Clayton Maxwell, Donald Maxwell's great-great-grandfather, who served with Co. G, 30th Iowa Infantry, from September 14, 1861 through June 5, 1862. He marched over 3000 miles from Keokuk, Iowa, to Vicksburg on to Atlanta and Savannah, participating in major battles at each. He was wounded by a musket ball in the head at Vicksburg during the same attack in which the Regimental Colonel was killed. He was mustered out of service at Washington D.C., and thankfully returned to Iowa by rail. Of the 1, 132 original members of the 30th Regiment, over half died or were wounded during the War. During a Maxwell family reunion in 1919, celebrating Harvey Maxwell's 76th birthday, a granddaughter affectionately remembers him telling the story that "the reason he was bald" was because of his war injury...a "cannonball" which " just barely grazed" the top of his head on May 22, 1863 in Vicksburg.

Obituary of Harry Maxwell Sr. Southwest Press Clipping Bureau Kansas City, MO Topeka, Kansas Lawton, Okla. Constitution Press Sept. 14, 1952 Early Day Newspaper "Feuds Here Recalled" Editor's Note: Recently an early day Lawton man, Harry Maxwell, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Maxwell, prominent residents of early day Lawton, died at Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. Harry worked for a time on an early day Lawton morning paper, the Star, while on the rival morning paper, The News, worked Wesley W. Stout, who later became an editor of the Saturday Evening Post. On learning of Harry's death, Mr. Stout, not retired and doing a column for the Ft. Lauderdale paper, filled his column with reminiscences of his early day with Lawton newspaper experience, which will be of interest to many residents of Lawton. We are indebted to Mrs. Griswold Smith, 1807 Elm, to whom the clipping was sent by a Ft. Lauderdale friend, for copy of Mr. Stout's column. The Beachcomber by Wesley W. Stout Harry Maxwell was dead at his Coral Ridge (Florida) home. The paper said he was industrial relations director for Sun Oil at Philadelphia. Could this be our Harry Maxwell? He had been a Sun Oil executive, but surely he couldn't have lived here sixteen months unknown to us. The undertaker could tell us nothing. At the home, the family had just left to accompany the body to Philadelphia. All the neighbors who knew the Maxwell were away, the maid said. There was a friend who was caring for the car, but she could not recall his name. We were about to leave when we thought to ask if there was a photograph of Mr. Maxwell in the house. There was. It was our Harry! . . . Two dollars more a week lured us from Oklahoma City in 1911 to Lawton(Oklahoma) as city editor of the News. A "city editor" in a small town did everything but solicit advertising and run the press. This raw town of 11,000 had three dailies, two of them morning, an unheard of thing. The city editor of our morning rival was the owner's son. He was an engaging youth of about 19 with no other newspaper experience, while we already had, at 21, filled a variety of jobs. His name was Harry Maxwell. None of the three papers could afford a line of wire news, so our first act was to rifle the 10 p.m. train from Oklahoma City of the evening papers discarded by passengers. (There was no train butcher.) Harry caught on quickly. When he joined us at the station, sharing the papers, we took to meeting the train at the Rock Island crossing and gathering up every last paper. The train sometimes was an hour late; then we sat on a pile of cross ties in the dark and waited. In time, Harry shadowed us to the crossing, so now we traveled to Oklahoma City at our own expense and talked with the State Editor of the Oklahoman. We proposed that he give us rapidly over the phone each night the cream of the state news. Reluctantly, he agreed for old time's sake. . . . Harry was beaten and baffled for only a week or so. The lone night hone operator was his girlfriend. She told him we were calling the Oklahoman; he could deduce the rest. Our rival did a bite of polite blackmail. He called our friend, the State Editor; if the Oklahoman was giving away news, Harry said he would be happy to share it. The agitated State Editor phoned us back. We told him to call it off. We were official scorer of the Class D Lawton ball club. As such, we traveled to Wichita Falls, Tex., one Sunday. Though less than 50 miles at the plane files, Wichita Falls was a hundred miles by rail and removed from our trade territory. It didn't know that Lawton existed. . . . To the telegraph editor of the morning paper, we told the story of our duel with the Lawton Star. Amused, he offered, though he had never seen us before, to share his leased-wire Associated Press report with us nightly. That would risk the paper's A.P. franchise, but the paper was failing he explained, so no one would care. Now we really had Harry frantic. Having meanwhile "beat his time," as we said then, with the phone girl, he couldn't trace our source. He was working on the manager of the telephone company when the Wichita Falls paper died. Harry became secretary to a Tulsa congressman, studied law at Georgetown. Twenty years passed. We were on the Saturday Evening Post. One day we met Harry, now with Sun Oil. Thereafter, we saw him often at lunch at Philadelphia's Downtown Club. . . . We saw or heard nothing of him after 1942 until Tuesday when we read of his death. For a year and more we both had lived in Ft. Lauderdale, each unaware of the other. In fiction you couldn't get away with a coincidence like this.

Note: One copy of this column to Wallace Perry of Las Cruces, N. M., who was city editor of the afternoon paper. HARRY C. MAXWELL MARRIED MARJORIE. THEY HAD TO SONS, HARRY JR. AND TED. Obituary of Harry Maxwell Sr. Southwest Press Clipping Bureau Kansas City, MO Topeka, Kansas Lawton, Okla. Constitution Press Sept. 14, 1952 Early Day Newspaper "Feuds Here Recalled" Editor's Note: Recently an early day Lawton man, Harry Maxwell, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Maxwell, prominent residents of early day Lawton, died at Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. Harry worked for a time on an early day Lawton morning paper, the Star, while on the rival morning paper, The News, worked Wesley W. Stout, who later became an editor of the Saturday Evening Post. On learning of Harry's death, Mr. Stout, not retired and doing a column for the Ft. Lauderdale paper, filled his column with reminiscences of his early day with Lawton newspaper experience, which will be of interest to many residents of Lawton. We are indebted to Mrs. Griswold Smith, 1807 Elm, to whom the clipping was sent by a Ft. Lauderdale friend, for copy of Mr. Stout's column. The Beachcomber by Wesley W. Stout Harry Maxwell was dead at his Coral Ridge (Florida) home. The paper said he was industrial relations director for Sun Oil at Philadelphia. Could this be our Harry Maxwell? He had been a Sun Oil executive, but surely he couldn't have lived here sixteen months unknown to us. The undertaker could tell us nothing. At the home, the family had just left to accompany the body to Philadelphia. All the neighbors who knew the Maxwell were away, the maid said. There was a friend who was caring for the car, but she could not recall his name. We were about to leave when we thought to ask if there was a photograph of Mr. Maxwell in the house. There was. It was our Harry! . . . Two dollars more a week lured us from Oklahoma City in 1911 to Lawton(Oklahoma) as city editor of the News. A "city editor" in a small town did everything but solicit advertising and run the press. This raw town of 11,000 had three dailies, two of them morning, an unheard of thing. The city editor of our morning rival was the owner's son. He was an engaging youth of about 19 with no other newspaper experience, while we already had, at 21, filled a variety of jobs. His name was Harry Maxwell. None of the three papers could afford a line of wire news, so our first act was to rifle the 10 p.m. train from Oklahoma City of the evening papers discarded by passengers. (There was no train butcher.) Harry caught on quickly. When he joined us at the station, sharing the papers, we took to meeting the train at the Rock Island crossing and gathering up every last paper. The train sometimes was an hour late; then we sat on a pile of crossties in the dark and waited. In time, Harry shadowed us to the crossing, so now we traveled to Oklahoma City at our own expense and talked with the State Editor of the Oklahoman. We proposed that he give us rapidly over the phone each night the cream of the state news. Reluctantly, he agreed for old time's sake. . . . Harry was beaten and baffled for only a week or so. The lone night hone operator was his girlfriend. She told him we were calling the Oklahoman; he could deduce the rest. Our rival did a bite of polite blackmail. He called our friend, the State Editor; if the Oklahoman was giving away news, Harry said he would be happy to share it. The agitated State Editor phoned us back. We told him to call it off. We were official scorer of the Class D Lawton ball club. As such, we traveled to Wichita Falls, Tex., one Sunday. Though less than 50 miles at the plane files, Wichita Falls was a hundred miles by rail and removed from our trade territory. It didn't know that Lawton existed. . . . To the telegraph editor of the morning paper, we told the story of our duel with the Lawton Star. Amused, he offered, though he had never seen us before, to share his leased-wire Associated Press report with us nightly. That would risk the paper's A.P. franchise, but the paper was failing he explained, so no one would care. Now we really had Harry frantic. Having meanwhile "beat his time," as we said then, with the phone girl, he couldn't trace our source. He was working on the manager of the telephone company when the Wichita Falls paper died. Harry became secretary to a Tulsa congressman, studied law at Georgetown. Twenty years passed. We were on the Saturday Evening Post. One day we met Harry, now with Sun Oil. Thereafter, we saw him often at lunch at Philadelphia's Downtown Club. . . . We saw or heard nothing of him after 1942 until Tuesday when we read of his death.

[Bier.FTW] [Don Maxwell .FTW] Obituary of Viola Maxwell The angel of death has thrust from us this shivering blade in from our midst has taken Miss Ola Maxwell. She departed this life on Monday, August 7,1893, aged seventeen years, three months and 12 days. The fatal sickness, as we under stand it, was that dreaded disease lung fever to which the beautiful maiden succumbed almost as rapidly as the delicate flower dies before the frost and wind of autumn, her sickness lasting only two weeks. It is hard that the misty twilight of death should so soon block out the golden glow of morning. It is hard that the anthem should be broken on by a sob. That the home made sad only a short year ago by the death of a father should again be saddened by the death of a daughter: and that the blades of the green grass should quiver over the feet that for years should have pressed the green verge of summer. It is hard that one so full of hope, kindness and devotion to all her friends, should be stricken down; but " death " loves a shining "mark". The flowers that bloom to-day , die to-morrow . Rev. Baker conducted the funeral services at Bethesda, on Tuesday at 10 a.m. We extend to the family our heart felt interest in their bereavement, and may the Holy Spirit assist them to bear their affliction. submitted by Sharon Kivi 1998. | Maxwell, Viola (I1121)
