Mrs. Margaret A. MADDOCK, widow of William B. MADDOCK, died last Friday, at the home of her youngest son, D.S. MADDOCK, 1014 Harian Street, Indianapolis. Her death was caused by a complication of diseases and she had been ill for about four months. Mrs. MADDOCK was about 76 years old. She was born in Franklin County and after several years of married life at Brookville, she moved with her family to Benton County where her husband engaged in farming and school teaching. Before leaving Franklin County, her husband owned and edited the Brookville Democrat and after locating in northern Indiana he established the Review at Fowler, which he conducted until 1889, when the family moved to Lafayette. Early in 1893 her husband died and since that time she has lived with a sister, Miss Loretta PORTTEUS. Several months ago she went to live with her son in Indianapolis and it was there she died. She was a member of the Presbyterian church and was loved and admired by all who knew her. She is survived by three sons, all engaged in the newspaper and printing business. They are L. E. MADDOCK, of the Journal, Lafayette; Will B. MADDOCK, publisher of the Bloomfield News, and D. S. MADDOCK, of the Keystone Press, Indianapolis. She also leaves five grandchildren, three great grandchildren, one sister and two brothers. The remains were taken to Lafayette last Saturday, where the funeral was held Sunday from the home of her son. Interment on the family lot in Greenbush Cemetery.
To Will B. MADDOCK of the News in particular and to other relatives also the editor of The Democrat extends his deepest sympathies and profound respect. We all have to meet the result of living—the end—death. At such times the smiles and pleasures in childhood, the hopes and ambitions in boy manhood, the determinations and energies of manhood when mother was living, her encouragement and prayers flood our minds and mixed feeling of pleasure and regret. Regrets at our failure at time is not having been as attentive and thoughtful as we could; and our pleasure that mother was ever the true and faithful friend, the kind, loving and affectionate mother, who kissed us in our sorrows, who love us in our weakness who petted us in our misfortunes.
