Daughter of Bowley Sisley and Elizabeth Underwood, Catherine was born near Bendale. Together with her husband, James Maxwell, she raised five sons and five daughters. After suffering a paralytic stroke Grandma Maxwell walked with a crutch and family stories say that when making an apron for Grandma be sure to add a little pocket for her left hand.

Obituary

Mrs. James Maxwell, Locust Hill.
In the death of Mrs. James Maxwell, which occurred at Locust Hill on December 10th, there passed away one who will be long remembered by those who knew her. Born near Bendale in 1851, Mrs. Maxwell, who was Catherine Sisley, spent her girlhood days in Scarborough living at Bendale, Malvern and Brown's Corners, moving to Markham, near Locust Hill, in 1900. Soon after that she suffered a paralytic stroke, which left one side helpless. Partly rallying from this, she was able to walk with a crutch, and continued so until January 1923, when she suffered another stroke, and has been confined to her bed since. In religion she was a Methodist, being for many years a member of Malvern Methodist Church, and since coming to Markham, of Locust Hill Church. Left to mourn her loss, besides a devoted husband, are five sons and five daughters, also two sisters, Mrs. Jas. Thomson of Sarnia, and Mrs. Thos. Jamieson of Pennsylvania, and one brother, Joseph Sisley of Toronto. The funeral, which was held on Sunday, Dec. 12th, to Elmwood cemetery, Markham, was largely attended.
