''1t is With sincere regret and sadness
that ann6unce the death Of Mr.. Samuel
Maddox, for more than forty years an
active, prominent and respected member
Of the bar Of this court. In 80 doing
cannot refrain from making few
observations in respect to the profess
sional and private character OF cor de-
parted brother and friend, whom had
the honor and pleasure to know perhaps
better and more Intimately than most
of his colleagues.
"Mr. Maddox possessed and developed
the true qualities and characteristics
of lawyer. He was ever reverent and
respectful to the court, and while thus
Ieverent and respectful was always
loyal to tho client and an honor to his
profession, which should always be with
out spot or blemish. Whatever he un-
dertook he undertook earnestly: what
ever he felt he felt deeply and what
ever he engaged In no engaged in with
all his energy"
