Notes for Joseph C. PAXSON
While working in the potato patch, Joseph C. Paxson, of Atglen, dropped dead at noon yesterday at the home of his son, William H. Paxson, at the latter's farm on the Lincoln Highway between Parkesburg
and the Black Horse. With him at the time were his son and the latter's little daughter, Rachel. When the father fell they brought him to the house in the car and called Dr. W. A. Murphy who pronounced the
patient dead, death being due to a stroke (unknown word) apoplexy, and an inquest was considered unnecessary.
Mr. Paxson was aged 78 years 6 months and 17 days. He was born and reared upon the adjoining farm now owned by his brother. His father was born in the year 1800 upon the farm where Mr. Paxson died yesterday, and which he farmed until five years ago, when he retired and moved to
Atglen. He was a life long member of Sadsbury Friends' Meeting at Christiana. Surviving him are his widow and five children. They are Clayton K. Paxson, West Caln; David T. Paxson, Paige's Mill; Harry A. Paxson, Parkesburg; William H. Paxson, Lincoln Highway, and Mary A. Grossman, near Upper Octorara. There are also living a sister and a brother; Mrs. Elizabeth Moore, Londonderry, and William L. Paxson, Lincoln Highway. There are also six grandchildren.
