| 8703 | I1330 | Maxwell | Fredrick Clayton | 31 Aug 1876 | 06 Feb 1947 | 0 | A Standard History of Oklahoma by Joseph B. Thoburn, vol. III, The American Historical Society, 1916. Frederick Clayton Maxwell. The student of human nature is always deeply interested in tracing the career of one who has fought his way up to a position of prominence and financial success by dint of pluck, push and energy, and who has, notwithstanding the struggles of his youth, maintained a well earned reputation for uprightness and consideration for the rights of others. Such has been the career of Frederick Clayton Maxwell, proprietor of the Cotton County Democrat, of Walters, Oklahoma, and one of his town's most enterprising and progressive citizens. He has been the architect of his own fortunes in the fullest sense, and the success that has come to him has been won with honor and without animosity. Mr. Maxwell was born August 31, 1878, at Fairfield, Iowa, and is a son of H. C. and Christina (Kauffman) Maxwell, natives of Ohio. The family originated in Scotland and were pioneers of Ohio, where H. C. Maxwell was born in 1837. As a young man he went to Fairfield, Iowa, in the vicinity of which city he engaged in farming and stockraising. When the Civil War came on, he enlisted in the Thirtieth Regiment, Iowa Volunteer Infantry, and served three years and six months in the Union army, during which time he was wounded in battle. He proved himself a valiant and faithful soldier, and when he received his hinorable discharge and returned to the duties of peace, resuming the pursuits of the soil, in which he has continued to be engaged to the present time. He is a republican and a member of the Presbyterian Church. Seven children have been born to H. C. and Christina Maxwell, namely: Robert Sherman, who died in infancy; Arthur Walter, state representative for the Culvert Manufacturing Company, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Hugh Raymond, who is a merchant at Fairfield, Iowa; Nellie B., who married Frank Loving, engaged in the real estate business at Huber Springs, Arkansas; Frederick Clayton, of this notice; Harley, a resident of What Cheer, Iowa; and Earl. Frederick C. Maxwell received his education in the public schools of Iowa, which he attended until reaching the age of fourteen years. In the meantime, when but twelve years of age he had started to work in a confectionery store, learning the candymakers' trade. He thus continued at Fairfield, Iowa, until he was seventeen, when he went to Seymour, Iowa, to become an apprentice to the printer's trade for four years. In 1899 Mr. Maxwell returned to the candymakers trade at Davenport, and later at Moline, Illinois, until 1905, when he came to Oklahoma, located at Enid, and secured a position in an ice cream factory. After a short time spent there, Mr. Maxwell became connected with the Enid Events, under Everett Purcell, and subsequently took charge of the Hunter Enterprise, a newspaper with which he was connected until 1907, when he came to Walters, Oklahoma. On August 25th of that year he became editor of the Cotton County Democrat, which was established at that time by the Lawton Publishing Company, as a republican sheet. Mr. Maxwell purchased the paper in 1909 and in 1912 made its policy independent, but in the following year made it a democratic paper. This paper circulates in Cotton and the surrounding counties and has a large foreign list. The plant and offices are located on Broadway Avenue, and are equipped with the latest improved printing machinery, with facilities for handling first-class job work of all kinds. The paper is clean, bright and newsy, and the people of Cotton County may be congratulated that it is in such clean and capable hands. Its columns have always been open to matter pertaining to the securing of advantages and improvements for the community and its owner has ever been one of the first to promoteand support progressive enterprises. He is a democrat, but his only public office has been a member of hte school board, on which he served one term. His religious connection is with the Christian Church. Fraternally he is well known and popular, being a member of Lodge No. 266, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Walters(Okla.) ; secretary of the Knights of Pythias Lodge No. 74, at Walters; president of the American Horse Thief Association No. 920, at Walters; council commander of the Modern Woodmen of America; and a member of the Royal Neighbors and the Brotherhood of American Yeomen, both at Walters. Mr. Maxwell was married August 31, 1899, to Miss Margaret Baines Wilson, who was born in England, daugher of George L. Wilson, now a mining engineer of Albia, Iowa. She died December 23, 1911, the mother of four children, all of whom are attending school: Frederick Clayton, Jr., born July 12, 1901; Leo Harvey, born December 29, 1903; Phyllis, born March 17, 1905; and Margaret, born October 22, 1907. Mr. Maxwell was again married September 5, 1913, when united with Mrs. Nannie B. (Gray) Ellison, daughter of Harvey Gray, a farmer of Stephens County, Oklahoma. They have had no children, but Mrs. Maxwell had one child by her former husband: Mahota, who is attending the public school at Walters. |

| 8707 | I918 | Maxwell | George Washington | 29 Jul 1832 | 30 May 1914 | 0 | Two Veterans Die as Others March (1914) Taps Sound for Pioneers with Booming of Salute Last Grim Battle is Fought and Lost while Memorial Exercises in Vancouver are Being Held Vancouver, Wash., May 30 - (Special) - John Livingston, 82 years old, and George W. Maxwell, 81, were not in their places today when the Grand Army Post fell in to head the parade. As the strains of the "Star Spangled Banner" faded and died and the 21-gun salute boomed out, the two veterans were fighting their last grim battle. In rooms with curtains drawn to screen from their dimming eyes the bright light in which outside the flags were fluttering, the two faced a common enemy, and when the exercises were over, and tear-stained veterans had turned away with the soft sunny words of "Tenting on the Old Camp Ground" ringing in their ears, announcement was made that "taps" had sounded for two of their number. Mr. Livingston was born in Tennessee and fought in the Sixth infantry Volunteers. Mr. Maxwell was an Iowan. Both were pioneers of the Pacific Northwest. The others of the fast dwindling little company of veterans marched as usual and took part in the exercises at the City Park. Many were present too, when the Women's Relief Corps repeated the impressive ceremony of strewing roses on the waters of the Columbia in memory of the sailor dead. (1914) - Pioneer of County Dies Saturday George William Maxwell died Saturday morning at his home at 3201 O street, at the age of 81 years, 10 months and 1 day. He is mourned by his wife, one son at St. Mary's Idaho, one son at Saltese, Montana, and one daughter, Maud, residing at home. He leaves two sisters at Thayer, Nebraska, and one brother and sister at Fairfield, Iowa. Mr. Maxwell was a farmer and was born in Ohio. he left his native state at an early age, coming west to Iowa, then pushing on to Yamhill county, Oregon, with wagon and team of oxen in 1851. Twenty-five years ago he settled at Woodland, during which time he represented Cowlitz county in the legislature.

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 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.

| 8717 | I923 | Maxwell | James Monroe | 30 May 1851 | 19 Jun 1891 | 0 | Obituary of James Maxwell Deaths of one man and two boys. James Maxwell drown in a pond. Jess and Jack Kanouse drowned in Cedar. Special to the Journal. Little thought we when we followed all of that which was earthly of Mrs. McClain to her final resting place Saturday, that even before another sun would set we would be called upon to carry the lifeless form back to his family of one who was in the procession and in perfect health but so it is. "In the midst of life we are in death" and on Sunday at 2:30 o'clock we took James Maxwell from Mr. Jenks pond and carried his body back to his home which he had left but a few hours previous .Sunday morning he with several boys spoke of going to Mr. Jenks pond to bathe. The pond is about 1/4 mile from Mr. Jenks house and covers two acres of ground. It was about nine feet deep where he met his death. He and Bill Parsons were in a boat. They were informed how deep the water was. While Bill wanted to go back, Mr. Maxwell only laughed at his fears and went on .Bill jump out and commenced swimming to the shore when the boat capsized throwing Mr. Maxwell into the water. Every effort was made to save him, but in vain. He arose the third time but there was not anyone present that could swim and dive. This happened about 10:30 o'clock p.m. his body could not be found until to 12:30 p.m. Clark Tracy and William Stump of Fairfield, at that time dived and brought the body to the surface. James M. Maxwell was born May 30,1851. He was married to this Linda Lynn in January, 1873. Four children were the fruit of this union, Mae and Ola now young ladies, Ray aged 10 and Harry, who died when a babe. At all times the Angel of Death is an unwelcome visitor and earth and life never seems more dark and desperate to a wife and children as when they surround for the last time the casket containing all that is mortal of a husband and father. The agony of such an hour can only be fully realized by those to have passed through such an ordeal. Our hearts go out in sympathy to them and our prayer is that God may give the loving spirit to comfort and sustain them, for he alone has the power. The funeral services conducted by Rev. Sampson, were held at Bethesda at 3 p.m. after which the remains were interred in the Bethesda cemetery. The large attendance at the funeral showed the esteem in which Mr. Maxwell was held by his acquaintances. |

LETTER: Dear Miss Rule: Would like brief genealogy on MAXWELL for friends I met while traveling. - Mrs. M.M., Long Beach. M.M: MAXWELL genealogy goes back 30 generations to a fierce English warrior Maccus whose name meant "war-club wielder". Maccus fought with the English king at the Battle of Maldon in AD 991. In 1130, King David I of Scotland appointed one of Maccus' descendants to his court. In return for his services the family was given a large Scottish estate later called Maccus-Welle (Maccus' Spring). In the 1200's Maccus-Welle was contracted to the surname Maxwell. The family coat-of-arms has a double-headed black eagle on a silver shield, with the motto, "Reviresco" or "I grow young again". Among early 18th century south Pennsylvania land owners of Scotch ancestry were James, John, Philip and Samuel Maxwell. |
