Today's Hartford Courant had a letter to the editor regarding HP Maxim's wife Josephine. Perhaps of interest: http://eedition.courant.com/Olive/ODE/HartfordCourant2/Default.aspx?href=HCN... Section B, page 1 of today's issue also has a story about Hartford inventors with a photo "Hiram Percy Maxim, left, takes a ride in a pre-1900 Alfred Pope gasoline car." The article list his inventions in 1895 and 1902.
