Ira Maxwell Journal
Collection — Box: 19
Identifier: SC-216
Scope and Contents
Ira Maxwell (1820-1874) was a farmer, pumpmaker, and mechanic in Union County, Ind. Born a Quaker, he lost his membership in 1844, a year before his marriage to Mary C. Stanford (1824-1893). She apparently continued the journal after his death. The sparse entries depict life in rural Indiana: mostly work, births, marriages, and deaths, with almost no attention to national events. Photocopy.
