“SAMUEL J. MADDOX

is a son of Joseph and Amanda Maddox, and was born, reared, and educated in Linn county.  His parents were natives of Howard county, and came to this county about thirty years ago.  Mr. Maddox was married in December, 1879, to Miss Alice Caton, by whom he has one child.  At this writing Mr. Maddox resides seven miles northwest of Bucklin, and is running a large farm of two hundred and forty acres, the estate yet belonging to the heirs.   His parents died in this county, leaving Jamuel J. the care of the family, and he deserves much credit for the manner in which he has held the family together, and carried on the old home place.  The children are an honor to the community in which they reside.”
