Descendants of John Maxfield
of Salisbury, Massachusetts
Eighth Generation

HARRY COOLEY8 MAXFIELD (Eugene7, Philo6, probably Henry5, David4, Eliphalet3, Nathaniel2, John1) was born at Ohio on 8 April 1878 (Sandie, 1877/8 in 1880 census, 1878/9 in 1910 census, 1879 in 1920 census), a child of Eugene Maxfield and his wife Margarette M. Hutton.

Harry C. Maxfield married WILHELMINA VAN BERGEN about 1904 (1930 census). Welhelmina, often called "Minnie," was born at the Netherlands about 1879/80 (1910 census), and came to America as a child in 1883 (1910 census).

The 1910 census (1166:1:279A) found Harry C. and Minnie Maxfield at Cleveland, Ohio. Harry, age 31, was a switchman for a steam railroad. Minnie, age 30, was born in the Netherlands to a Dutch father and German mother. Harry and Minnie had been married five years, and she had two children, both living: Virgil, age 4, and Dorothy, age 1.

The 1920 census (1360:3A) located this family at 10813 Bellaire Road, Cleveland:

The household included three boarders.

The 1930 census (1762:14A) found Harry C. and Minnie Maxfield at 10813 Blaine Ridge (probably the same address as in 1920; I don't know which reading of the street name is correct), Cleveland. Harry, 51, was conductor on a steam railroad. Wife Minnie was 49, son Harry A. 18. Daughter Dorothy, 21, worked as a stenographer for a steam railroad.

Wilhelmina Maxfield died at North Olmstead, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, on 2 February 1952 (Murphy). Harry C. Maxfield died on 13 April 1962 (Sandie).
