DEATH OF C. B. FORSYTHE.
Died, at his residence in Waverly, Coffey county, Kan., Tuesday, January 13, 1891, of jaudice, with dropsy Calvin B. Forsythe, aged 45 years, 2 months and 10 days.
Deceased was a student in the college at Wilmington, Pa., when the war broke out, and while yet two young to be drafted, he enlisted in the 100th Pennsylvania volunteer infantry, known as “The Roundheads of Wilmington.” He came to Kansas in 1869, settling first in Osage county afterwards coming to Waverly. He was married February 1, 1877, to Mrs. Eva M. Cullen, who is left to mourn the loss of a kind and loving husband.
But above all this, Brother Forsythe was a devoted Christian from early manhood, always taking a deep interest in the church and religious work. At the time of his death he held the office of treasurer of the Presbyterian church of Waverly. During his last sickness of two months duration, he suffered almost constantly, yet he bore up with Christian patience and resignation, speaking frequently of meeting his last enemy, Death, without fear, since his Saviour was an ever-present help.
In his death his wife losses an affectionate companion, the community a good citizen, and the church an earnest worker, and altho’ our hearts are sad because of the death of one yet in the prime of life, let us say; “It is the Lord-He hath done all things well.” On Thursday, January 15th, at 10 o’clock a.m. a large number of friends and neighbors gathered at the Presbyterian church to pay the last sad tribute of respect to the remains and to listen to the funeral sermon from Hebrews,IIII, 9: “There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.” The funeral services were conducted by Rev. E. L. Combs. A sister of the deceased, Mrs. Judge Glenn of Atchison, arrived Wednesday and was present at the funeral. Business was entirely suspended from 9:00 a. m. until after the funeral, as a mark of respect for the deceased.

Co. K, 134th OH. Infantry
William Cutler wrote the following about this gentleman:
SAMUEL B. MAXWELL, proprietor of the Maxwell House, and foreman and head miller of the Rossville Milling Company. This mill has four run of buhrs, and a capacity of 100 barrels of flour in twenty-four hours. Engine is 13x24, and is forty-five horsepower. The main building is stone, 45x50, two stories and basement; now has two sets of rolls and the proprietors are contemplating additional improvements, consisting of bolting purifiers and will make it a "new process" mill. Mr. M. came to the State December 6, 1877, locating in Rossville, January 1, 1878, and has charge of the mill ever since, putting in nine months extra time and not losing a day. Came from Shelby County, Ohio, where he was born April 26, 1844. Moved to Logan County, October 29, 1879, and purchased the Logan Valley Mills. Also owned a mill at West Liberty, Ohio, at the same time. He operated both of these mills until 1875, when, owing to a partial failure in the wheat crop, was compelled to sell both mills, and removed back to Shelby County, and remained there until coming to Kansas. Was married September 4, 1862, to Miss Rebecca Fahnestolk, a native of Cumberland County, Pa., and as the result of said marriage five children - Jennie, now Mrs. C. W. Talmadge, of Rossville; William W., Cora E., Lulu E. and Irene J. Mr. Maxwell enlisted in 1864, under a call of Gov. Brough, in Company K, One Hundred and Thirty-fourth Ohio National Guards, as Orderly Sergeant, and was ordered direct to Richmond. Participated in the bombardment of Petersburg and Richmond and saw 100 days of hard service. Was mustered out September 20, 1864, at Camp Chase, Ohio. Mr. Maxwell purchased the old hotel property of R. Wood, at Rossville, October 13, 1879. At that time it was a small building, very much run down and inferior in every respect. In 1880 he raised the building, putting a stone foundation under it, building an addition 26x30 feet, two stories with basement, making the entire size of the house 26x58, and more than doubling its capacity. The hotel now has twenty sleeping rooms, two parlors, office, dining room and kitchen. Mr. Maxwell has made improvements to the amount of ,100, inside and out, ,000 being for furniture, making the hotel first-class in every respect. In connection with the house is a first class livery barn, 24x44, with a capacity for twenty head of horses. In addition to these improvements, he has erected a wind-mill and force pump, fifty barrel tank, with eighty feet of hose, to be used in case of fire, and for other purposes; also an ice house twenty feet square. Mr. Maxwell owns the entire block on which this property is situated. Considering the fact that he came to the State without means, having lost all his property in Ohio, he has made a creditable record, and justly deserves to be classed with the enterprising and successful business men of Rossville. He has served a term in the Town Council, and was most active forwarding measures for the improvement of the town, and was urged to allow the use of his name for Mayor, but declined. Is a member of Rossville Lodge No. 75, A. O. U. W., and foreman of the lodge. Is a member of the Baptist Church and has always acted with the Republican party, taking quite an active part in politics.
