James Maxwell, Locust Hill
In the death of James Maxwell, which occurred at Locust Hill December 27, 1926, a well known and highly respected citizen passed to the great beyond. Born in Belfast, Ireland in the year 1841, deceased, accompanied by four brothers and two sisters, who have all predeceased him, came to Canada in 1860. Mr. Maxwell first worked for the late John Weir, who owned a farm near Brown's Corners, Scarboro, and until 1900 farmed near Malvern and Brown's Corners, moving to Markham in 1900. He farmed on the 10th line, on the farm of the late A. C. Reesor, retiring in 1920, and moving to Locust Hill, where he passed away. He was an enthusiastic curler in his day, being a member of the Scarboro Curling Club and later the Locust Hill Club. In religion he was a Methodist, and in politics a Conservative. Left to mourn his loss are five sons and five daughters. The sons are James of Toronto, William and Archibald of Markham, Emerson of Victoria B. C. and Gordon of Chicago; and the daughters, Elizabeth at home, Mrs. F. Pike of 10th line, Markham, Mrs. Megill, Markham, Mrs. Muckle and Miss Mabel of Toronto. The remains were laid to rest in Elmwood cemetery by the side of Mrs. Maxwell, who predeceased him, passed away on Dec. 10th.
