Her parents were born in Ohio, her father in 1801 and her mother in 1806. The former was a brick and stone mason by trade, but also gave considerable attention to agriculture, his death occurring at the age of forty-four, his wife passing from this life at the age of eighty years. To them a family of five children were born: William (who is a farmer in Johnson County, Iowa), Martha (the wife of Henry Walker, a tiller of the soil in Johnson County), Louisa (wife of Z. S. Cray, a farmer of Page County) and Angeline (the subject of this sketch). She obtained a good common-school education in Iowa, and after reaching womanhood was first married to a Mr. Harkell, a native of New York, who died during the late war while serving with Sherman, being with that general on his famous march to the sea. [Other more reliable records show that his name was actually Haskell.] His widow was married to the Hon. George M. Maxwell on the 5th of April, 1867, and to their union a family of eight children were born: Adda (who was educated in the schools of Cambridge, and took a full course in the Iowa City Commercial College, being now engaged in teaching in Story County), Fannie (who was also educated in the schools of Cambridge), Grace (who died at the age of four years), Caleb (who is fourteen years of age, assists his mother on the farm), Ole, Nathaniel Van, Marietta (aged eight years), and John A. Logan (aged five years). Mrs. Maxwell's daughters are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and have always contributed with their mother to benevolent enterprises. Mrs. Maxwell emigrated from Johnson County in 1866, the country being in a very primitive condition at that time and sparsely inhabited. She has a well-improved farm of 240 acres, and is also the owner of an excellent residence in the town of Cambridge. Her farm residence is a beautiful brick structure, and she and her children are provided with everything to make life comfortable and enjoyable. She lives surrounded by her many friends and acquaintances, and expects to spend the rest of her days here. ___________________________________________________________ Cambridge, Iowa October 18, 1906 Funeral of Mrs. Maxwell Mrs. Angeline Sweet Maxwell, a former highly respected resident of this town, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Fannie Carman, in Aurora, S. D. Tuesday, Oct. 9th. The remains were shipped to this place and the funeral took place Friday afternoon at the United Brethern church. Rev. H. G. Hicks conducted the funeral assisted by his brother, N. F. Hicks. The deceased was born September 18th, 1842 in Lone Tree, Johnson county, Iowa, and had reached the age of sixty-four years and twenty-one days at the time of her death. She was the youngest of five children and she was three years old when her father died. She married Geo. M. Maxwell April 5th, 1867 and became the mother of nine children, two of whom are dead. The family lived here a number of years Mr. Maxwell then conducting a large general store. A few years ago she with her daughter and three of her sons, Mr. Maxwell having died some time before, moved to Aurora, S. D. which place was her home until her death. She became identified with the United Brethern church in 1866 and the lot upon which the present church stands was donated by her as well as parts of the building. She took an active part in all the different duties of the church, was a member of the Ladies' Aid society and remained a faithful member of that church until her departure from this earth. Surely her life can be spoken of as one well spent. Those present at the funeral were: George, Ole and Harry of Colorado, Cale and Logan of South Dakota, J. W. Maxwell of Maxwell and a number of near relatives. A large circle of friends were present at the funeral who sympathize with the bereaved ones in this time of sorrow. [Comment: Since her husband's second wife Caroline did not die until June 20, 1867, I believe the correct year for Angeline's marriage to George Maxwell is 1868. This also matches the Story County, Iowa Bride Index.]
