  • Notes 
    • Maddox – At her home in this city, on February 16, 1898, of pneumonia. Mrs. R.E. Maddox, aged 32 years and 9 days.
      Nannie Virginia Hitchcock was born in Guinup County, Ky., where she resided until 1884, when she went to Fairmount, Ill, where she was joined in the hold bonds of matrimony to Robert E. Maddox, on march 12, of same years. In 1885 they moved to this county, and have resided here continuously ever since. The deceased joined the Christian church at the age of fourteen years, and after removing to this county, there being no organization of the faith of her choice here, she joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, and has lived a devoted Christian life for the past eight years in that faith. A few days before she took sick she told her husband that she was ready and willing to go at any time, and requested f him that if she was called away, he should keep the children together and take good care of them. She leaves a husband and six children to mourn their loss, all of whom have the sympathy of the entire community in this their sad hour of affliction. In her death the husband loses a devoted and loving companion; the children lose a kind and affectionate mother, and the community loses one who was ever ready to minister to the sick, and her untiring efforts to be a help in time of need. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. W.E. Scott, and the remains were interred in the Gove city cemetery.
