MADDEN, DANIEL
(6 May 1915, Thursday, Elk City News Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
DEATH OF DANIEL MADDEN
Thursday morning, April 22nd, the friends and relatives of Daniel Madden
were shocked to hear the sad message, over the phone, that he was dead. 
He had been to Elk City the day before his death and was apparently in
good health and his friends remarked that he was as happy as usual, but
such is the uncertainty of life.  He ate breakfast and did his morning
work and not until his chores were done, did he remark that he did not
feel well.  Medical aid was summoned, but before they arrived he was dead.
 Heart failure was the cause of death.
Daniel Madden was born in Canada February 18, 1852.  Died at his residence
north of Elk City, April 22, 1915.  Age 63 years 2 months and 6 days.  He
came to Iowa, with his parents when a boy and lived there until 15 yrs.
ago when he moved on his farm north of Elk City.  He was a good neighbor,
a kind husband and there was no more hospitable couple in Oklahoma, than
Mr. and Mrs. Madden.  Every one was welcome and they have many friends in
Elk City who always looked forward to a pleasant visit with them.  He
leaves to mourn his death his wife, one brother, Mike Madden of Crawford
Co., Iowa, four sisters, Mrs. McLemee of Seattle, Washington, Mrs. Nell
Devotney, of Wall Lake, Iowa, Mrs. D. D. May of St. Joe, Mo., Mrs. Fremmel
of Veil, Iowa.  He was a member of the Catholic Church and after the
funeral services was laid to rest in the catholic cemetery of Elk City,
Okla.  The esteem in which he and his estimable wife, were held was shown
by the large concourse of friends that followed him to the last resting
place.  He had a large funeral and with sadness his many friends bade
farwell  (sic) to his earthly remains.  The entire community extends
sympathy to the bereaved wife and relatives.
