• Notes

  Maurice was educated in the public schools of Hancock county, after leaving which he began farming in association with his father, and continued to be thus engaged until his marriage. Not long thereafter he changed his residence to Ripley township, Rush county, where he was the owner of 448 acres, all within the township boundaries. Here he built one of the finest country homes in the township as well as one of the largest barns, and his other buildings were proportionate in value and attractiveness, while his improvements were of the most highly improved and modern character. Maurice followed general farming and stock raising on a large scale and used the most effective and up-to-date methods to secure his desired results. Primarily a farmer, his business abilities led him into other activities, and he was a stockholder in the Citizens Bank of Charlottesville, Indiana, and the Hungate Wholesale Company. In politics he was independent and took a good citizen's interest in matters of a political nature. Good movements, however, secured his immediate and generous support, whether they be of an educational, religious, charitable or civic nature. With his family, he belonged to the Methodist church, being a member of the congregation at Carthage, and fraternally he was affiliated with the Carthage blue lodge of Masons.
