GLENMORE MAXFIELD
MR. SPEAKER: Your committee, appointed to prepare a suitable resolution commemorating the life, character, and public service of Honorable Glenmore Maxfield, begs leave to submit the following memorial:
Glenmore Maxfield was born at DeKalb, Illinois, December 22, 1877, and received his early education in the public schools at Sycamore, Illinois, and later attended Northwestern University and was a student pastor at Leander Clark College.
Mr. Maxfield moved to Marshall county, Iowa, in 1899, and was married to Miss Grace Elliott of Marshalltown in 1905, where he passed away on December 21, 1942.
Mr. Maxfield was of Scotch lineage and an active member of the Methodist church. He served many years as Conference Evangelist for the Upper Iowa Conference of the Methodist church and was ordained as Dean of the Marshalltown Methodist church in 1902 and as an elder of the Cedar Falls Methodist church in 1907. He served as Sunday school superintendent of the Minerva church and also as trustee for many years
Mr. Maxfield was a member of the Odd Fellows and Rebekah Lodges and of the Farm Bureau, and was a director of the Iowa Valley Mutual Insurance Association and secretary of the Marietta Creamery. He was very active in farm bureau work and was a breeder of Aberdeen Angus cattle.
Mr. Maxfield served in the House of Representatives in the Forty-first, Forty-second and Forty-second Extra General Assemblies of the state of Iowa, having been elected on the Republican ticket on the “pay as you go” platform, where he served his state and community well.
Therefore, Be It Resolved, That in the passing of the late Honorable Glenmore Maxfield, the state has lost a valued and honored citizen and the Methodist church has lost an active and worthy member, and the House of Representatives of the Fiftieth General Assembly tenders, by this resolution, its sincere sympathy to his surviving widow.
Be It Further Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be sent to Mrs. Maxfield and that this resolution be spread upon the Journal of the House.
