A native of Weakley County, Tenn., Mr. Maddox was the son of the late Thomas C. and Ellen Maddox. He received his LL. B. degree from the old Southern Normal University at Huntingdon in 1895 and began practicing law the following year. He served as a member of the Tennessee legislature in 1903 and was West Tennessee referee in bankruptcy from 1910-22. He was mayor of Huntingdon three different times and was elected Carroll County Attorney last August. Mr. Maddox was a member of the Tennessee Bar Association and the American Bar association. In 1895 he married the former Miss Emma Lou Shankle, who survives. In addition to his widow, survivors include one son, W. Poe Maddox, member of the law firm of Maddox, Maddox and Lassiter. Another son, D. D. Maddox, former U. S. District Attorney at Memphis died in 1945.
Judge Maddox had been a personal friend of the publisher of this newspaper for 35 years. He had a cheerful disposition, a keen and penetrating sense of humor, and a rough and ready wit that made him a pleasant companion and associate. If he ever saw the dark side of any picture, he said nothing about it, but always kept the cheerful and pleasant side of life in the forefront. He will be greatly missed as an attorney where he befriended many who were never able to pay him, and as a citizen since he never failed to take an active part in all civic and political matters of interest.
