Notes
a. Note:   The Sabbath Recorder, Vol 72, No 7, p 222, Feb. 12, 1912. Dr. Edwin Robinson Maxson, son of David and Esther Lampher Maxson, was born at Peterboro, Rensselaer Co., N. Y., September 24, 1820.
 He was of New England stock, his parents, having been natives of Rhode Island. His grandparents were active in the Revolutionary War and his father in the War of 1812. When three years of age he went with his parents to Alfred, N. Y. At the age of fifteen he moved to Adams Township, N. Y. After an academic education he studied medicine, as he said on one occasion, "partly as a livelihood and partly from a desire to understand, as best I could, this wonderful instrument of the human mind through which we learn our relations and obligations to ourselves, our fellows, to God and all creatures and things, and to so know how to keep it in repair and to repair it when diseased." He was converted and united with the Adams Seventh-day Baptist Church, January 6, 1838. He was united in marriage to Lucy. P. Lampher in 1846, the next year after graduating from the Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia.
 Doctor Maxson was a resident of this town for many years, having moved here in 1835. He has been one of the most noted physicians of northern New York. When in the vigor of life he had the distinction of having one of the most extensive practices of any physician in this part of the country. He was a man of recognized ability as a writer and lecturer on anatomy, a position he filled for three years in the Philadelphia University of Medicine. He was admitted to the bar in 1877, having studied law as a diversion and as a means of helping him to a better knowledge of treaties and of international law. He gave up his practIce at the advanced age of eighty-seven. His home has been in Syracuse since 1873. Mr. Maxson continued his membership with the Adams Church till called hence - a period of seventy-four years. He departed this life the evening of January 25. He had sat at supper with the family. Soon after he was prepared for his bed and as he lay down he sang softly that hymn known to every Christian heart, "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," and soon closed his eyes never to open them again on the scenes he had loved. Doctor Maxson leaves two children - a daughter. Mrs. Sarah M. Cobb of Chicago, and Dr. Edwin S. Maxson of Syracuse, N. Y., his wife having preceded him to the silent world, February 23. 1910.
 Farewell services were held at his late residence, 818 Madison St., Syracuse, N. Y., Sunday afternoon; and Monday afternoon, January 29, services were held in the church at Adams Center. Doctor Maxson was a great reader and student. He had read the Bible through in seven different languages. He was conversant with all the leading books of medicine and of theology. He was one time spoken to about going as a missionary, and as a result gave up his practice and took tip the study of languages and of theology, but for some reason decided to continue the practice of medicine in the homeland. Doctor Maxson was a devout believer in God the Father and in Jesus Christ, the Saviour of men. In his death one of the most noted members the Adams Church has ever had has passed out.
 Burial services were conducted by Pastor Witter. E. A. W.
