        The Late Mr. John Maddock.

        Another of our aged citizens has departed this life in the person of Mr. John Maddock. He had reached the span of eighty-one years. Mr. Maddock was a native of that part of England whence so many of the men that have built up this country came. He was born at Rattery, near Ivybridge, Devonshire, the birthplace, we believe, of the Right Hon. Sir William Whiteway. He came to this country at the age of twenty-seven and first held a position at St. John's in a bakery establisment. He soon removed to Carbonear, and opened a shop there. From this small beginning, by dint of native shrewdness and push, he in course of time, in conjunction with his brothers, Robert and Walter, built up an extensive business and made a sum of money. He removed to this town in 1881 and opened a general cash and supplying business in the premises that had been lately vacated by Messrs. Rutherford Brothers and which are now held by Mr. Norman Munn. A few years ago, he retired and henceforth lived till within two or so years of his decease at Ridley Hall, which he had years before purchased from the late Edward Quintin, senior, where he spent his time in looking after the place. For the past two years, his friends noticed that he was failing, but he kept in fairly good health till the last, being confined to his bed for only the last week or ten days, and passing away without a struggle.

        Our old townsman was married first to Miss Mary Ann Guy, and later to Miss Dorcas Guy, both of Carbonear, the latter of whom survives him. By his first wife, he had one daughter, the late Mrs. William Gear. One brother survives him - Walter, residing in Carbonear. His brother Robert (father of Messrs. Joseph and John Maddock, Carbonear), died in 1885, and Richard, another brother, passed away in Australia some years ago.

        Mr. Maddock was an observant man, and during his long life made good use of the ability with which he was endowed.

        The funeral took place to-day, the body of our late citizen being conveyed by carriage to Carbonear at 2 p.m. Carbonear friends met near the Railway Station, and thence the funeral proceeded to the Methodist Church, and on to the cemetery where the body of the aged man was laid to rest. To his wife and relatives, the Standard tenders its sympathy.

        Obituary - Mrs. Amelia Maddock.

        It seems but a few years ago that Robert Maddock, the Carbonear principal of the firm of J. & R. Maddock, in the midst of his many activities was called to his eternal rest, and yet over three decades have passed since then, and on Thursday came the call to his widow, Mrs Amelia Maddock, a lady who, during her long and useful life had occupied a position of much prominence in the Conception Bay town, and whose influence and usefulness is continued to-day in the persons of her children. The late Mrs. Amelia Maddock was one of a large family of brothers and sisters, most of whom have passed to their reward. The late Messrs. James and William Guy were her brothers. Over half a century ago she became the wife of Mr. Robert Maddock, an enterprising English man who, with his brother John, built up an extensive business conducted, since the death of his father, by Messrs. Joseph and John Maddock. She leaves to mourn the loss of their well loved mother five daughters, Mrs. A. D. Boyle, wife of Dr. Boyle of Carbonear, Mrs. E. Cram of Green's Harbor, Mrs. Hilyard of Blackhead, Mrs. F. R. Matthews, wife of the Rev. F. R. Matthews, B A., now of Carbonear, and Mrs. W. H. Butt of that town; three sons, Joseph, for several years M. H. A. for Carbonear, John, bis business partner, and Rev. R. H. Maddock, a Methodist Minister. Amongst her many grand-children is Professor William Boyle of Alberta University, now engaged in war work in the Old Land, and some who are actively engaged in the defence of that Homeland and Empire.
