| Notes |
- Their mother died when they were four and two years old. They lived with S. Rowland Davison, whose wife Amanda, was their half-sister, and other places until their father married again, to Amy Wells. Then they went home. But in a few years, their father, Rev. Amos west, was taken with Consumption and went to Illinois, to reside with his son-in-law, S. Rowland Davison, who had previously moved there. It was thought then, that the climate of Illinois would cure the consumption. He died at Goveland, Illinois. The two little girls were then left alone, orphans indeed. they then moved to Hoosick Falls, NY, where friends were residing, and working in the cotton factory, and went from there to Benninton, VT, and from there to North Adams, MA, where they both married. then the girls seem to have separated. We will first follow Adeline.
She married george R. Bly. He only lived a year and a half, and died of consumption in 1850. She then went to Adams, Jefferson County, New York, to where her two half-sisters, Emeline Lewis-Maxon, and Louisa Lewis-Reed, lifed. In 1853 she married Lorenzo Maxon. They moved in February 1854 to Walworth, WI. In 1865, they moved to Farina, IL, and lived there over thirty-nine years. She enjoyed peace, quiet and plenty, at the beautiful home of her son, who was a proprietor of a drug store, and an officer in the bank at Farina, IL. received her photograph recently. Had not seen her since 1847, at North Adams, MA.
