Youngest Daughter of Henry & Cora Buckell, Died in 2011


I have to thank Keith Barber from Ticonderoga for letting me know that Naomi Buckell Maxfield passed away in October 2011. Ms. Maxfield was the youngest daughter of Henry and Cora Buckell, owners of the Hulett Hotel during the early 1900’s. She is survived by her cousins: Frances Hebert, Agnes Peterson and Stanley Barber and a niece; Ann Buckell. She was born in Ticonderoga, N.Y. on March 27, 1914, to Henry Buckell and Cora Barber Buckell.

While I don’t have much information, her family forwarded me her picture. Ms. Maxfield spent many summers on Lake George, where she taught several generations to swim and waterski. She was very proud to have started the first non-smoking bowling league in the United States. She retired to Fort Myers Florida and loved to play bridge.
