Author: William Henry Perrin (1883)

  J. C. MAXWELL, attorney at law, Robinson, was born September 26, 1847, in
Blount County, Tenn., and when one year of age his parents removed to Crawford
County, Ill., and settled on a farm, where the subject grew to manhood. His
opportunities for obtaining an education were such as the common schools of the
county afforded. Upon arriving at manhood he attended Waveland Academy one year,
at Waveland, Ind., also attended the National Normal School, at Lebanon, Ohio,
where he graduated in the classical course in 1872, having taught school at
intervals to defray his expenses. In 1873, he began the study of the law in
Robinson, under Callahan & Jones (W. C.), and was admitted to the bar in
January, 1875. He at once entered upon the practice of his profession, and was
for a time in partnership with his preceptors-Callahan & Jones. At present he is
a member of the firm of Wilson, Maxwell & Allen. He was married in October,
1881, to Miss Gertie E. Jackson, of New Albany, Ind.
