He died at Fairhaven on 27 May 1939.[2] He married at Weymouth, Norfolk County, Massachusetts, on 2 September 1895 BERTHA HARRIET TIRRELL,[3] a daughter of James Bradford Tirrell and his wife Sarah Jane Blanchard.

Charles A Maxfield grew up in Fairhaven, the oldest of five children to survive to adulthood; Bertha grew up in South Weymouth, the oldest of five children. Charles graduated from Grammar School at Fairhaven, June, 1884.[6] The Fairhaven Star reported that later that year, he had an accident. The 6 December 1884 issue reported, "On Friday, a toy cannon, with which Charles Maxfield was playing, exploded, and the boy's face was considerably burned with powder."[7] Bertha graduated from South High School, Weymouth, on 26 June 1891.[8] She graduated from Bridgewater Normal School in 1893. From 1894 to 1900 Bertha taught in a one room school on Mill Road in Fairhaven.[9]

Charles Maxfield was a plumber. He bought out his father's business at 26 North Second Street, in New Bedford, and at one time employed 35 men. Son Charlie remembered that the men would go to their jobs on the street cars, carrying toilets and other things with them.[10]

Charles and Bertha announced their engagement in May 1894.[11] Charles A. Maxfield, 25, plumber, and Bertha H. Tirrell, 20, school teacher, were married at South Parish Church, Weymouth, Massachusetts, on 2 September 1895, by Henry C. Alvord, Pastor.[12] Bertha and most of her ancestors had been active in the life of South Parish Church since its founding in 1723.

The Maxfield family lived at Fairhaven, on Bridge Street. Two months before marriage, Charles A. Maxfield purchased two lots on the south side of Bridge Street, which he immediately mortgaged to his father for $1300. In 1919 he paid off the mortgage to his father.[13] The Fairhaven Star reported on 2 May 1908, that C. A. Maxfield had purchased a house and lot from Alexander C. James. On 27 June the paper reported that Maxfield "will move recently" to the James house, immediately east of his then residence.[14]

The 1900 census reported Charles and Bertha Maxfield and one-month-old daughter Doris at 135 Bridge Street, Fairhaven. Charles was a journeyman plumber.[15]

The 1910 census reported the family at 91 Bridge Street. Charles Albert Maxfield was a master plumber with a plumbing and heating shop. Charles and Bertha had been married fourteen years, and Bertha, age 35, had four children, all living. The children were Doris, 10, Gordon Tirrell, 5, Lawrence Blanchard, 2, and Thais Bayley, two months.[16]

The 1920 census reported this family at 91 Bridge Street, with all of the children at home. Family members were: Charles A., 50, master plumber with own business, Bertha H., 44, Doris, 19, Gordon T., 14, Lawrence B., 11, Thais B., 10, Charles A., 7, and Jean H., 3.[17]

In 1930 only four of the six children remained at home. Charles A. Maxfield, age 60, was a master plumber working in building construction; Bertha, his wife, 55, had no occupation; eldest son Gordon T., 25, worked as a tinsmith in roofing; Thais B., 20, Charles A., Jr., 17, and Jean H., 13, were still in school (Thais attending Bridgewater State Teachers' College).[18] Eldest daughter Doris lived at Walpole, Norfolk County, where she taught in public school.[19] Lawrence, employed as a plumber's helper, lived at New Bedford, Bristol County, with his new wife and mother-in-law.[20]

The Maxfields purchased a summer home in Marion, on the Weweantit River, which they operated as an inn.[21]

Daughter Doris wrote of her parents and her family of origin in 1984:[22]

After my few activities at the house were completed I would start off with my friend Florence. From our house came--"Doris," loud and definite, "Take your brother with you." I tried to skip Gordon so many times but never succeeded. Then in later years I could get him to do things for me. Natural I guess--When Gordon was a baby who had to pick up his playthings every day? Doris. You see Thais and Lawrence were younger.

We all had chores to do around the house. Chuck, ask your father to tell you the episode of bringing wood up from the kitchen range and practically counting the pieces.

Dad always left his shoes in the kitchen when he went up to bed so the boys did the same. Dad's would disappear in the A.M. but not the boys'. I got so sick of sweeping around them. I said, "next pair of shoes I find in the kitchen go down cellar." Two pairs went down next day, I think the owners could have put me down there too.

The problem of washing dishes every night at 91 Bridge St.: My helper was always missing--but we made out.

Our kitchen had a good size blackboard where those out in the P.M. left their initials--this was so no one would get locked out--but they did. I have always been a light sleeper. In a loud whisper under my bed room window--"Doris I am locked out--please let me in."

Mother always used the blackboard to help us in geometry, algebra, etc. She also knew if we did our homework. Mother was a teacher for 7 years in Fairhaven, then tutored after that.

I remember one of her pupils. I used to sit under the table they were working on and would tie her shoe strings to the table legs.

When I first taught in Walpole I went home many weekends. I whipped up cream puffs or fancy pies--doughnuts, etc.

Aunt Helen always gave Mother any dress she wouldn't wear any more and if it were appropriate material I would get a new dress. Thais would have nothing to do with the idea.

I know my mother Bertha was a member of the Cong. Church S. Weymouth. If she changed when she went to Fairhaven I don't know, but she was an ardent worker in the church until her 5th and 6th children came and then she really only supported it financially. She sang in the choir until Gordon came along and then he was too noisy to take to the choir loft. I used to love to watch the man pump the organ.


Bertha (Tirrell) Maxfield and son Charles

Son Charlie shared his memories about the same time:[23]

After about 1913 they spent about 6 months of the year in Marion, Massachusetts. Their first car was a 1910 Buick; they got electricity in 1918.

Everyone had assigned chores. Mother started the fire for breakfast at 6:00 A.M. Each day had its tasks. Monday was wash day. Thursday was for kneading bread dough. Saturday was a great baking day. Sunday was, of course, the Sabbath. The Sabbath was observed strictly, with no work or play.

Thursday, if she was going to make bread, she whipped this dough up in a big thing on top of the dresser. I remember it was quite a treat to get up there and sit on the dresser and turn that crank around and make that dough. And then she'd put that dough over in back of the stove where there was a hot water boiler, for a day or so, and let it rise, and cover it with a rag. [NOTE: a dresser is a piece of furniture in the kitchen; some people call it a "counter."]

Saturday was a great day for baking. There was always baked beans, so the oven was going, and she'd bake pies. All day long she'd bake stuff. She'd bake 'em to last all week--ten or twelve pies. She put them in the pantry on a long pantry shelf, and then we'd eat them.

We always had beans Saturday night, and it was good. She'd make brown bread. Sunday morning we'd have beans again--and what was left over Monday night for supper. But Sunday night we had a specialty--bread with cream on it--heavy cream--and it was good.

We never cooked on Sunday. We were supposed to go to Sunday School--and we did--and we got sick of it.

On Sundays we had to sit around and didn't know what to do. We couldn't play games. It wasn't in their religion.

When my father bought the place in Marion, he'd say, "We'll go down there and we'll do some work." But we loved that because we didn't have to go to Sunday School. When we got to Marion, my father would say, "Let's go up to the field and I'll hit some flies," and so he would. It didn't set too good with my mother, but she got used to it.

Her niece Ruth remembered Bertha as, very strict, but very thoughtful. She would always stop and ask her neice Ruth if she wanted to go with her.[24]

For a biology class school project in 1961, Charles A. Maxfield III collected information on eye and hair color of family members. The following was reported to him by his father and others:[25]

In 1923 Charles Maxfield was swindled out of $15,000. A clipping from an unidentifed Boston newspaper reported,

George Stearns, of many Aliases and a long police record as a pickpocket and confidence man, was brought here yesterday from New York by Inspector Thomas W. Towle of headquarters, having been arrested there about a week ago on a default warrant. Stearns is charged with larceny of $15,000 from Charles A. Maxfield, an aged resident of New Bedford.
It is alleged that on October 26, 1923, the prisoner induced Maxfield to come to a Boston hotel, where he mulcted the elderly man of $15,000 on a crooked stock deal. Stearns disappeared, but was arrested in Memphis, Tenn., last September and brought back here. Later his bail was reduced from $15,000 to a nominal amount, and he jumped town again. The New York police picked him up last week.
[26]

Bertha Tirrell Maxfield died at New Bedford on 21 March 1939, age 64 years, 1 month, and 13 days. She was remembered in a newspaper obituary:

She was a native of South Weymouth and for the past 43 years had resided with her husband and family at 91 Bridge Street, Fairhaven.

Howe of South Weymouth; three brothers, Arthur B. Tirrell of South Weymouth, Lewis O., of Williamsport, Pa., and Wallace B. of this city, and two grandchildren.
[27]

Charles Maxfield died at Fairhaven two months later, on 27 May 1939. The Star reported:

Doris Maxfield graduated from Fairhaven High School in 1918, then attended and graduated from Framingham (Massachusetts) Teachers' College.[29] She first taught at Kent's Hill Seminary, a co-educational secondary academy in Maine. Then she taught in a private school in New Hampshire.[30] In 1927 she moved to Walpole, Massachusetts, and began a carear of forty years in the public school system there. She taught home economics for twenty-seven years. In 1954 she was appointed supervisor of the student lunch program for Walpole schools. During her thirteen years in this position,

The cafeterias have increased from 3 to 8. She has met with the architects of each new school and has played an important role in the planning and equiping of each unit. . . . School menus, ordering food, checking on cleanliness, replacing and repairing equipment all were part of her busy schedule. [31]
