Mrs. Phoebe Maxson sitting in a rocking chair outside her residence, the Frank Tobey Jones Home for the Aged, prior to her 100th birthday. Mrs. Maxson will turn 100 years old on October 11, 1934. This photograph was also used in the T. Times in October of 1935 with a story recounting Mrs. Maxson's 101st birthday. Photograph ordered by Dr. W.W. Danel, Mrs. Maxson's son and a resident of Honolulu. Mrs. Maxson was born on a ranch in Ohio and came west in the early 1880's. Her first husband, S.A. Danel of Illinois, died in 1900. She married A.M. Maxson several years later and also outlived him. She has lived at the Toby Jones home since 1923 and is a devoted member of the Monday Civic Club. (T. Times 10/11/1935, pg. 7; 9/29/1934, pg. 1)
