Will B. MADDOCK is Dead. Though not unexpected the news of his passing, which quickly spread from lip to lip this morning, spread pall over the entire community. After an illness that first put him to bed in February, 1932 and from which from time to time he rallied seemingly only by his indomitable will, death came peacefully at 3:30 this morning. His heart, over-taxed for years, stopped-it could go no longer. A native of Brookville, William Brundrett MADDOCK was born on March 19, 1869. He was christened with the full name of his father, who was a native of Staffordshire, England, and who came to this country in his teens. His mother's maiden name was Margaret Ann PORTTEUS whose home was at Mt. Carmel, Indiana. The father was an educator and then later turned his attention to the newspaper field. He was principal of the Brookville schools and county school examiner of Franklin county in the sixties. Removing with his family in 1872 to Benton county, first to Raub and later to Fowler, he became county superintendent of schools of that county. In 1876 he founded The Benton Review, which is still a live newspaper. Young Will B., as he was called, spent his boyhood days and obtained his early education at Fowler, and started in upon his life work as a newspaper man at the age of ten when he learned to be a typesetter on The Lafayette Journal, the family in the meantime having removed to Lafayette. The next ten or twelve years were marked by patient industry as step by step he built himself up, mastering by experience all the inns and outs of the newspaper business. During these apprenticeship years he was employed from time to time on The Benton Review as well as on The Lafayette Journal. He came to Bloomfield first in 1886 to work on The Bloomfield Democrat, whose editor then was William Marshal MOSS. After some months here he left to become attached to The Rushville Republican; and after still another period with his father's old paper, The Benton Review, and again with The Lafayette Journal, he came back to Bloomfield, never again to call any other place home, in 1890, and in November of that year he formed a partnership with a lifetime resident of this county, John T. LAMB, his prospective father-in-law, and they bough The Bloomfield News, and from that day until the last hour of his consciousness not only his fortune by his heart was wrapped up in that paper. It was his ambition to make the News and ideal newspaper for Greene county, gathering the news and telling it sympathetically and accurately. He was vitally interested in the welfare of this community and was deeply concerned in the upbuilding of its every aspect, a partner in the building of Bloomfield's first electric light and water plant, furniture factory, and many manufacturing concerns built for the betterment of community life and happiness. For many years he had been treasurer and director of the Farmers and Mechanics Savings and Loan Association and many a time he got out of his sick bed to attend the meetings of the directors. While still a young man he united with the Christian church of Bloomfield and for a number of years he was a trustee of the church. He was a charter member of the Bloomfield Rotary club. Many years ago he became a member of the Bloomfield Lodge No. 84, F & A. M. He was a Thirty-second degree Mason and was a member of the Scottish Rite and Mystic Shrine of Indianapolis, and the K. of P. lodge of Bloomfield. It was years ago, too, that he became a member of the Columbia club of Indianapolis, and his contact through that club with many of the notables of the state was of the brightest spots of his life. Few newspaper men of the state had a wider acquaintanceship than he. He was president of the Indiana Republican Editorial Association in 1913, after having filled the subordinate offices of that Association. In the General Assembly of 1897 and again in 1899 he was journal clerk of the house. He believed in the principles of the Republican party and he conducted an aggressive newspaper in the interest of that party. He was united in marriage December 30, 1890, to Miss Nora A. LAMB, of Bloomfield, who died November 20, 1922. To this union was born a son, Paul L., who for many years has been associated with his father. Surviving this marriage in the son, Paul L. MADDOCK, and the latter's two children, William B. MADDOCK III and Nora Ann MADDOCK whom he loved with a passionate tenderness. Later he was married to Miss Victoria HOLMES, of Bloomfield, who survives. And he also leaves one brother, Selby D. MADDOCK, of Fresno, California; a half-brother, John MADDOCK, of College Corner, Ohio, two nephews, Hord MADDOCK, of Indianapolis, and Maurice MADDOCK, of Bloomfield; and two nieces, Mrs. George AMORY, of Chicago, and Mrs. Beatrice NIELSON, of Fresno, California. The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at the home, and will be in charge of an intimate friend and near neighbor, the Rev. J. N. A. DOWNEY. The services will be marked by simplicity. The body will be laid to rest here in Grandview cemetery.
