"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 41, No 24, p 5, June 11, 1885. May 22, 1885, in the town of Milton, Wis., Chas. Slocum Maxson, aged 26 years and 15 days. He was sick with the consumption for eighteen months, and endured patiently and heroically the suffering and the gradual decline in bodily strength during that time. All efforts to arrest the progress of the disease were unavailing. For several terms he attended Milton College, and was there, as well as in the community, highly respected for his intelligence and integrity. The funeral exercises were held at the residence of his father, Horatio W. Maxson, and were attended by a large number of friends and neighbors. The sermon was preached by the undersigned, from James 4: 14, "For what is your life?" W. C. W. http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=jonsaunders
