  • Notes 
    • They lived at DeRuyter, NY. In company with his parents, Charles Maxson removed from Hopkinton to Homer, Cortland Co., NY, in 1826. At the age of fifteen he commenced an apprenticeship at the printing business, in the office of the Protestant Sentinel at Homer. This establishment was moved in 1833 to Schenectady, NY, whither he accompanied it. In 1836 it was removed to DeRuyter, Madison Co., NY, at which time and place he became a partner in the business then connected with the office of the Protestant Sentinel, under the style of J. & C. H. Maxson. He subsequently abandoned the printing business and spent some time in public life, during which period he was connected with a superintendent's office on the Erie canal, and was a Deputy Clerk in the Assembly, Albany, NY, for three sessions of the Legislature. In 1855, he became a farmer at DeRuyter, and for thirty years enjoyed the labor and lived the contented life of an agriculturist. In the spring of 1885 he retired from the farm and returned to DeRuyter village, intending to release himself from the duties of business pursuits. In politics he was a Democrat, and living in a town and county, both of which have been and are largely Republican, he has, of course, had little to do with public affairs. Twice he has been put in nomination for County Clerk, once for Member of Assembly, and once for School Commissioner; but contending against great odds, he failed of an election in either case. Notwithstanding the large majority against him in his own town, however, he has served for eight years as Justice of the Peace, and four years as Supervisor, a position which he now occupies. b.
