Jackson Argus – Butts County, Week of January 6, 1899
M. L. Hendrick Dies

At his home in this city last Thursday Meade L. Hendrick breathed his last.

Mr. Hendrick had a stroke of apoplexy on Tuesday morning.  At the time of the 
attack he was walking along the sidewalk near the public well, north side of 
public square.  He dropped his spectacles and attempted to pick them up, which 
was done with great difficulty.  A few steps farther on he dropped his 
spectacles again, and those who noticed it saw that there was something wrong 
and ran up to render assistance.  It was soon found that the trouble was of a 
very serious nature.  Mr. Hendrick was carried to his home and his family 
physician, Dr. R. G. Bryans, was sent for.  The doctor pronounced the trouble 
apoplexy.  Death occurred on Thursday morning and the burial took place with 
Masonic honors on Friday afternoon.  A short funeral service was conducted at 
the residence by Dr. Nelson at 1 o’clock p.m., which was largely attended.

Mr. Hendrick was one of Jackson’s most prominent citizens.  He was a son of 
Major Hendrick who died several years ago, and was manager of the oil mil and 
proprietor of the Railroad Warehouse.  He owned considerable property and was 
regarded as one of our best and safest business men.  He was honest and fair in 
his dealings and it can be said to his credit that those who knew him best were 
those who admired him most.

He was about 48 years of age and is survived by a wife and three children who 
have the sympathy of all our people in their sad bereavement.
