"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 8, No 34, p 135, Feb. 5, 1852.

In Westerly, R. I., Jan. 21st, of smallpox, Mr. Jonathan Maxson, in the 70th year of his age. The subject of this notice embraced religion in early life, and was baptized by Eld. Wm. Bliss, and united with the Newport Church. He subsequently removed his standing to the First Deventh-day Baptist Church of Hopkinton, where he continued a much-esteemed member for many years. In 1840 he united with the Pawcatuck Church at its organization, and ever sought its peace and welfare until death removed him to the church triumphant. In this disposition of Divine Providence, an afflicted wife and family are called to mourn the loss of one who was ever an affectionate and faithful husband and father, who in his life and conversation constantly adorned the principles of his holy profession, and by his meekness and kindness endeared himself to all his numerous friends. Truly a father in Israel has fallen. The trying circumstances of his death, add much to this affliction; especially as the bereaved family are unable, from the contagious nature of the disease, to meet together and mingle their sympathies in this trying hour. May the God of Israel sustain and comfort them, and sanctify to them and the church this deep affliction.
