1.) MADISON. At the residence of his son-in-law, President Joseph Smith, near Lamoni, Iowa, on August 31, 1893, of cholera morbus and old age, Elder Mad Madison.
Bro. Madison was born near Stavanger, Norway, October 10, 1812. He emigrated with others to America in 1839, settling near Mission,
Lasalle county, Illinois, where in 1840 he married Mary Thomasson, who bore him six children, four daughters and two sons, five of
whom with their mother survive him.
He joined the church in 1843; and went to Nauvoo after the death of the Martyr [Joseph Smith, Jr.], but not liking the turn affairs were taking there, he left there returning to Northern Illinois, where he subsequently united with Elder Wm. Smith in his church movement.
Not satisfied with that movement he quietly settled down to wait developments, and in 1863 joined the Reorganized Church, in which he continued in faith until his death.
He was a man of sterling honesty and stability of purpose, loving the truth, but hating hypocrisy and shams.
