MAXSON
Catherine Maxson
November 25, 1841 - February 8, 1895
Catherine Maxson died at her home in Elm Grove Township, Labette County, Kansas,
February 8th, 1895. Age 53 years, 2 months and 14 days. She was born in Ohio,
November 25th, 1841. And was united in marriage to Nathan Maxson, January 14th, 1858.
The companion of her youth, they traveled life's journey together for 25 years, helping
each other bear the burdens of sorrow and enjoying the pleasures of this life until
December 1st , 1883, when death separated them and left her a widow to mourn the
companion of her youth. To them were born a noble and respectable family of 12
children. Four have passed on before. Eight are still living: five daughters and three
sons, to mourn their loss. She was left with five minor children to care for, which she has
by her care and love, reared to manhood and womanhood to be Christians. The deceased
was one of the first settlers of Labette County and was a charter member of the Elm City
Church, which was first organized at the Valley School house in 1871, and the last
surviving charter member and a faithful and consistent member. By the death of sister
Maxson, the church has lost a true and faithful christian, the community a true and
faithful friend and neighbor. May the blessings of God attend the sorrowing and gather
them all to Himself in that upper and better Kingdom. Funeral services were held at the
Elm City Christian Church Saturday February 10th conducted by the writer and assisted by
A. Allison and J.N. Allison, in the presence of a large and sorrowing congregation. She
was buried at the Ellis Cemetery.
There is a land where beauty cannot fade,
Nor sorrow dim the eye.
Where true love shall not be drooped or dismayed,
And none shall ever die.
