- J. F. Maxson, of the firm of Bassett & Maxson, jewerlers,
Waterloo, Ind., is a native of Greenbush, near Albany, N.Y.,
born April 4, 1832, a son of Jehu J. and Luna (Tompkins)
Maxson, his father of Irish and his mother of Scotch descent.
In 1836 his parents moved to Jackson County, Mich., and entered
a farm from the Government. His mother died in August 1839.
Of her seven children six are living. One son, Walter, was
killed while in the service of his country in the war of the
Rebellion. J. F. Maxson was reared on a pioneer farm, at a
time when Indians and wild animals infested the country. When
twenty-one years of age he went to Coldwater, Mich., and there
learned the jeweler's trade of C.H. Thompson. While there he
made the acquaintance of Charles Bassett, who was a
fellow-apprentice, and after completing their trade, in 1859,
together they came to Waterloo, Ind., and opened a store, at
that time the only one of the kind in the place. They have the
largest jewelry store in the county, and keep a complete stock
of everything in their line. Their shrewd business qualities,
combined with their thorough knowledge of their trade, has
gained for them a high position among the business men of the
county. Mr. Maxson was married in 1863 to Martha J., daughter
of James and Mary Maybee, of Lockport, N.Y. They have four
children---Mattie, John C., Agnes and Earl H. Mr. Maxson cast
his first presidential vote for John C. Fremont, and has since
been a strong advocate of Republican principles. He and his
wife are members of the United Brethren church.
