Arizona Republican-June 26, 1909
JOHN MADDOX
June 26, 1909

John Maddox, a well known and highly respected citizen of 
Phoenix, died yesterday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at his home, 
606 South Fifth Avenue.  Death was the result of paralysis, of 
which he has suffered for a year or so, though the disease came 
upon him gradually and not in the form of a sudden stroke.  For 
the last year he has been practically beyond ability to work at 
all, first one limb and then another passing from his control 
until finally for some months past he has been practically bed 
ridden.

The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in 
the parlors of Easterling and Whitney.

John Maddox was born in LaGrange Georgia, Oct. 3, 1846.  He 
served three years in the Confederate Army as a member of the 
Seventh Louisiana Cavalry.  After the war he moved to Fort 
Worth, Texas and later to Santa Barbara, Cal. where he lived 
for two years.  He moved to Phoenix with his family from  
California about 1889 and for many years was engaged in 
teaming contracting for hauling and teaming in Phoenix and 
vicinity. His later years were devoted exclusively to mining, 
and at the time of his death he owned properties in the south 
end of the White Tank Mountains that have been only partially 
developed and which are believed to be of great mineral value.

Deceased is survived by his wife, a son and three daughters.  
The son is Clifford Maddox, who is in the employ of the 
railroad at Tempe and who was at his father's bedside in 
his last hours.  The daughters are Mrs. William Evans, Mrs. 
Claude Cisney and Mrs. O.E. Bellas, all residents of this city.
