The death of Geo. N. Maxwell occurred Friday afternoon, March 9 [sic], 1923, at his home in Lodi, of a complication of diseases. Mr. Maxwell was born in Montour Falls February 26, 1867, but had lived in this community for over thirty years.
He was a millwright by trade and for many years, with his father, conducted a milling business on the site which bears his name.
He served the town as supervisor for six years, from 1908 to 1918, chairman in 1909, and was always actively interested in the welfare of the community as the many offices which he held at the time of his death testified. He was a member of the Republican County Committee, Deputy Town Clerk, Treasurer of the Fire District, Treasurer and Collector of the Cemetery Association, President of the Library, and Notary Public. He was a member of the Presbyterian church, a member of Lodi lodge No. 345, F. & A.M., I.O.O.F. and the Royal Arcanum.
For the past two years his health had been poor although he was able to attend to his business most of the time. He was confined to his bed less than two weeks when death came.
He is survived by his wife, his father having preceded him by five weeks.
The funeral was held Monday at 2:30 at the Presbyterian church, Rev. Musselman and Rev. Proseus, with D.D.G.M. Dennis Pierce in behalf of the Masons, officiating. The community has lost a man in Mr. Maxwell whose place the years will not entirely fill; that they realized it in some measure was attested by the many floral tributes which spoke of the high esteem inn which the deceased was held.
Interment was made in West Lodi cemetery.
