The Cairo Messenger, Friday, September 24, 1914
Mr. Jim Maxwell, one of the pioneer citizens of Grady county passed away at his 
home, two miles south of Calvary, last Friday morning at 9:30.

Mr. Maxwell had been in failing health for several months, but had only been 
confined to his bed for two weeks, his death being due mostly to old age.  He 
was about 76 years of age and leaves besides his wife, 5 boys and one girl and 
numerous relatives and friends to mourn his loss.

"Uncle Hill Jim" as he was called, was a member of the Primitive Baptist church 
at Calvary and had been clerk of this church for 45 years.

The remains were laid to rest in the presence of a large concourse of friends 
and relatives, Saturday, at noon at the cemetery near Calvary, Rev. W. M.
