OBITUARY

Robert Luther Maxfield was born on a farm in McCoupin county near Greenfield, 
Ill., October 12th, 1853. In the spring of 1875 he moved to Dorchester, 
Nebraska, where he lived until 1903 at which time he came with his family to 
Payette, Idaho, and remained here until his death, March 23rd, 1916.

On October 8th, 1879, he was united in marriage to Eleonora Wilson. To this 
union were born eight children, two of whom died in infancy. Those living are 
Mrs. Edna Bishop of near Fruitland, Mrs. Alta Benson of near Weiser, Ellen 
Maxfield of Island City, Ore., Vernon Maxfield of Seattle, Wash., Clara and 
Russell who with the mother have been at home helping care for the father. The 
deceased leaves three sisters and one brother, Mrs. Elizabeth Capps of 
Palmyra, Ill., Mrs. Clara Klassack of Farmer City, Ill., Mrs. Belle Pullian of 
Minneapolis, Minn., and Edwin G. Maxfield of Lincoln, Nebraska.

When a boy he united with the M.E. church and worked faithfully with them 
until about the age of twenty-four, when he united with the Church of Christ 
and loyally supported it both spiritually and financially. He served the 
church as deacon and elder for many years. His home was the home of the 
ministers and his family profited by their conversations upon the Bible.

He had been in declining health for several years, and after much suffering 
his noble life of 62 years, 5 months and 11 days came to a close.

Funeral services were held at the M.E. Church Saturday afternoon.
