Jackson Argus – Butts county, Week of January 27, 1899
Mrs. Emily Maddox Dies


Mrs. Emily Maddox, mother of Judge C. S. Maddox, died last Monday and was 
buried on Tuesday following t Providence church cemetery.

At the time of her death Mrs. Maddox was 91 years of age, and had been invalid 
for about five years past.  She was, perhaps, the oldest woman in Butts County, 
and was one of the best of women.  Her life was as useful as it was long and as 
she lived so she died – a noble Christian woman.

It was her request that her body be interred at the Providence church, that 
Rev. Doc Hansford of Monroe county preach her funeral, and that he read this 
Scripture as his text:

“And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, write, Blessed, are the dead 
which die in the Lord from henceforth: yea, saith the Spirit, that they may 
rest from their labors; and their works to follow them.” Rev. 14:18


All these requests were fulfilled and the body is now peacefully awaiting the 
resurrection morn.
