He leaves six children and a host of friends to mourn his loss. The large number who attended his funeral was evidence of the high esteem in which he was held. The Judge, first of all, was devoted to his family which speaks well for any man. Then he was a Christian gentleman, holding firmly to that he deemed right. He upheld the church and was a regular attendant on religious services. Home was dearest place to him, and next, came Pleasant Ridge Church. He was a useful, public man, and at the time of his death he was our efficient County judge. He has gone to a better land and bye-and-bye, we shall see him again. On Saturday, September 10th, we laid him away in the Pleasant Ridge cemetery in the presence of a large congregation. Religious services were conducted by the writer, his pastor, and with Masonic honors his body was interred to await the resurrection of the just. I. L. Claud. [Also] Judge MATLOCK Dead. The many friends of Judge MATLOCK throughout the county were grieved to learn of his death which occurred on Thursday night of last week. Several weeks ago he suffered an attack of typhoid fever, and being over anxious to get out and look after the duties of his office as county judge he, against the advice of his friends, got out before he was really able to do so. An abscess developed on his right lung which caused his death. He was serving his second term as County judge, and his whole soul was in the discharge of the duties of the office, and his friends regret that he could not live to serve out his term. The Echo joins his many friends in extending sympathies to the bereaved relatives.
