THE LEBANON ENTERPRISE, page 2, Fri., April 1, 1904. J. M. Malone Dead.

After a brief illness of pneumonia, Mr. J. M. Malone, a prominent farmer of Raywick died at his home early last Wednesday morning, March 30, 1904. His funeral was conducted yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock after which his remains were laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery, he having joined the Catholic church a few days prior to his death.c

Mr. Malone was born at Bradfordsville, this county, and was 69 years of age. His earliest days were spent on his father's farm on the North Fork. When quite young he came to Lebanon where he learned the saddler's trade with Mr. Milburn, shortly afterwards returning to Bradfordsville where he opened a saddler's business for himself. In 1856 he was married to Miss Laura Ray, daughter of the late Dick Ray. Later he moved to his farm in Raywick where he spent the remainder of his life.

His beloved wife preceded him to the grave just a few days more than a month, she having died Feb. 27, 1904.

To Mr. and Mrs. Malone were born ten children, five sons and five daughters, all of whom survive him. His sons are Messrs. Joe W. Malone, of Dallas, Texas, John L. Malone, of Madison, Illinois, Roscoe Malone, of Coffeeville, Kansas, Ralph and James Malone, who lived with him. His daughters are Susie, who lived with him, Adelle who became a nun of the Lorettine order and is now Sister Mary Clement, now at Cape Girardeau, Missouri, Mrs. Will Nalley, of Springfield, Ky., Mrs. George Mudd, of Louisville and Mrs. Walter Smith, of Raywick. All of his children were at his bedside during the last daysof his illnessexcept Joe of Dallas, Texas.

Mr. Malone is survived by one brother, M. C. Malone, of Palmyra, Illinois.

Deceased was one of the best known men of the county as well as one of our best citizens. When his estimable wife died he was in good health. Only ten days before his death he sat up with Mr. Nat Bickett whose death we gave an account of last week. The next day he sowed oats all day and that night was seized with a violent chill, the harbinger of fatal illness.

In his death the county looses a good citizen, his family a devoted father and a community an estimable neighbor and friend. The ENTERPRISE joins a long list of friends in extending heartfelt sympathy to his beloved sons and daughters.
