While his professional duties have limited his sphere of action in the direction of the public welfare, yet he has crowded into the intervals of professional inaction many acts promotive of the public weal and conducive to the well-being of his locality. Cyrus C. Paxson is descended from Virginia antecedents, his paternal grandfather having come out of the Old Dominion and settled in Belmont county, Ohio, in the first years of the nineteenth century. He was twice married and reared a family of twelve children. His name was Benjamin Paxson and the mother country of his European ancestry was England. Charles Paxson, the youngest child of Benjamin Paxson, was born in Belmont county, Ohio, in 1810, came west into Indiana as a young man and died in Howard county in 1853. He was a farmer and was united in marriage with Louisa, a daughter of Paul Coffin who emigrated from North Carolina early and was a pioneer settler of Indiana. Cyrus C. was the oldest and is the only surviving heir of Charles and Louisa Paxson. His mother died at the age of thirty-seven, leaving him an orphan at the age of sixteen years. Necessity compelled him to seek the field of industry to supply the necessities of life and he turned his attention to farm work. He labored as a monthly wage earner ‘till past his majority when he engaged in farming with a degree of independence, yet as a renter. He continued this some ten years and then took up the study of medicine in Howard county, Indiana. His old preceptor was Dr. Holiday, of Parke county, Indiana, and when he had completed his preliminary reading he entered Rush Medical College, at Chicago, where he completed his course, graduating in 1867. He located for practice at Ridge Farm, Illinois, in Vermillion county, where he ministered to the physical ailments of its citizenship some twenty years. From this point he transferred his family and his interests to Montgomery county, Kansas, where he is one of the esteemed and honored citizens. Dr. Paxson was born in Henry county, Indiana, October 1, 1836. The rural schools furnished him with his elementary education and the activities of the farm and field, his physical exercise and development. He was first married in Indiana in 1856, his wife being Matilda Carter, who died in 1864, leaving one child, Flora A., wife of John Yates, of Whiting, Iowa. November 19, 1867, Dr. Paxson married Louisa Mack, who moved into Indiana from Ohio in an early day. By his second marriage the doctor has a son, Charles M. Paxson, born Nov. 11, 1868. The latter is Under Sheriff of Montgomery county, Kansas, and married Addie Wiley. Their children are: Orville, Flora, Lloyd, Vada and Frank M.
