Charles MaXfield, who died Sunday
at Stroudwater, at the advanced age
Of 90. had the distinction of having re-
sided during his long life in two states
and four towns. without having to move
out of the house in which he was born
and lived all his days. This paradox
is explained as follows: During Mr..
Maxfield's youth Maine was a part of
the commonwealth of Massachusetts,
that accounts for the two states. Dur
ing Mr.. Maxfield's life Stroudwater, or
that part of it upon which Mr.. Max
fields place was, was successfully a
part of the old town of Falmouth,
Westbrook, town of Deering and city
towns.
