Dr. Maxwell took an active part in the deliberations of the Con

ings of its internal policy, and the history of its finances, that great deference was paid to the opinions which he entertained, upon all matters which came up before the Board fbr their deliberation. Dr. Mat we! I was twice elected to the Senate of the State, from the Senatorial district composed of the counties of Monroe, Owen and Greene. During all the time ot bis Legislative career, be devoted
himself to the advancement of the
interests of his constituents, and of
the State at large. He was liberal in his views of public policy, and was the first member from this
eoantv who ever east a vote in fa
vor of the WaJUldJiiirlllos'ng their
at that Yme the great and only jpnbjlir work ot Internal Improve
ment in the State.
In 1836, the Doctor was nomi
nated to the Senate by Gov. Noble, without sny knowledge or solicitation on his part, as a member of
the State Board of Internal Improvement. His nomination was aiaaost unanimously confirmed, and
noon the meeting and organization
of the Board, he was uoanimoosly
leeted its Premlent. Great re
sponsibility devolved upon him in
this capacity as the drafting oncer
of the Board;. but no word of enro-
Uiit, or even the slightest impu
tation was ever heard, I bat he did n4 faithfully and honestly perforin its duties. It was during the existence of th- original B.trd of internal Improvement, that the deceased, as President of the Board, drew up and presented to the profier Department at .Washington City, a
memorial, presenting in an argumentative ar,d forcible manner, the claims of the State to an additional quautity of the public lands for the
in clearing tne nrusn from tue
streets of Bloomington. He took a deep interest in the improvement
of the town and county, and was
most active energetic and enter
prising citizen. He was for many
vears one of the trustees of the
Indiana State University, and as
Rioted in laying its foundations, be
ing one of the building committee,
and taking part in the erection of
its first buildings, thus siding in se
curing its location in Bloomington
and contributing to its early sue
cess, as the first classical school es
tablisbed in the State.
Many of the hardy pioneers who
bad entered public lands, and open
ed their little farms, owing to the
hard times, and scarcity of money were unable to complete the pay

More than 46 years he was a member ot the M. E. Church, in Bloomington. Through this whole period he held the office of Trustee and Steward, except a few of the last venrs ol his life.when
his health had become so infirm from age. that his brethren, at
lis earnest solicitation, released
him from public duties. During
the. whole of this period bis charac
ter was without blemish, and above
suspicion. Me nevei bad an enemy ,
for he always made it sunshine
round about him. Such was his genial serenity of spirit that he was
not only cheerful himself, but all
his presence were made hopeful
and cheerful. He seemed always

felt joy" of the true believer in
Christ.
It may be said without dispar
agement to others, bis noble co-
laborers, that he was for more than
quarter of a century, the princi
pal support of Methodism in Bloomington. The first itinerant minis
ters, who travelingtuealmost path-
ess forests of lndiana,reaclnng this
frontier village ere there was yet a
church edifice or a society ol Meth
odists, found a cordial reception
ud pleasant borne at Bro. Howe's
He not only entertained the preach
ers, but contributed largely, to their
support. If there was e deficiency
in the circuit, ne most generally
with the assistance of a few others,
such as Samuel Hardesty, Mrs
Alexander Owens, and James D
Robertson, paid it, so that few
preachers left the work without re
ceiving tne ir tun salary, -nimseit
Iways contributing the largest
share.
When the first M. E. Church, the
old brick, now the Catholic Church
was erected, the pastor, Rev. James Armstrong, undertook to build one
of logs, thinking il; the best that could be done. These were already
on the ground and put up as far as

At this conference f eter Uartwright Charles - Halidav, Samuel , H
Thompson and their noble compeers
the pioneers of North Western
Methodism were present, of whom
the lone survivor is the venerable
Peter Cartwright. Bro. Howe purchased a house on west 4tli
street, nearly opposite the old
church, for S-tOO, which he gave to
the church for a parsonage. This
he afterwords sold aud iti vested the proceeds in the present parsonage. When the new church was
erected iu 1343, he contributed
with his usual liberality, supplying
deficiencies in funds, when the
work was about stopped for the
want of them, and furnishing ma
terials when needed. Tiius he con
tinued in his labors for the support
of the ohurch and ministry, con
tributing liberally to all her be
nevolent institutions, until the
close of his long and useful life,
which occurred at 1 o'elock A. M.,
