DAVID MATLOCK/MEDLOCK Son of Charles Medlock

DAVID MEDLOCK/MATLOCK

David Medlock according to his tombstone record was born May 10 1814, more than likely

David was born in North Carolina. All the census that David appears on stated he was

born in North Carolina, it was from his obit that stated he was born in Tennessee. The

first record David appears on was his marriage to his first wife, Nancy Brown, they

married Dec 20, 1838 in Lawrence Co Indiana. David then appears next on the 1840 Lawrence

Co Indiana Census. For the most of David's life he was known by Medlock. It wasn't until

1885 that the spelling was Matlock.

NOAH WARD born Dec 21 1873 Van Buren Co IA Noah married Amy Finette McCracken. Noah

died Jan 30 1946 Van Buren Co IA and is buried in the Thompson Cemetery, Bonaparte

Van Buren Co Iowa.

Noah E. Ward was born Dec. 21, 1873, and departed this life Jan. 30, 1946, at the age

of 72 years, 1 month and 9 days. On Jan. 26, 1901, he was united in marriage with Amy

Finette McCracken. To this union were born three daughters and three sons, one of whom

died in infancy. During his long and full life, which terminated after an illness of

many months, Noah was always happiest when surrounded by his family, friends and neighbors,

and especially happy when spared to celebrate his 45th wedding anniversary with his

beloved wife just four days before being called to his reward. With the exception of six

years in Oklahoma, he spent his entire life as a farmer in Van Buren county. He incurred

the friendship of all with whom he met and always stood ready and willing to aid friends

or neighbors. As a young man he confessed his faith in Christ, and united with the Harrisburg

Baptist church, later transferred to the Bonaparte Baptist church, where he maintained a

membership until death. He leaves to mourn their loss, his wife, sons, James R., and Alvin G.;

daughters, Mrs. Mary Willits, Mrs. Tina Ewing, and Mrs. Hazel McIntosh. Also 13 grandchildren,

three half brothers, John Matlock of Moline, Ill., Charles Matlock of Keokuk, and Steve Matlock

of Bonaparte, and four half sisters, Mrs. Anna Burnett and Mrs. Tina Hornbaker, of Burlington,

and Mrs. Dorothy Richards of Tacoma, Wash., and Mrs. Nettie Holmes of Moline, Ill.

Mrs. Rose Green.

It was with sadness that the friends of Mrs. Rose Hamlin Green, wife of James Green,

learned of her death which occurred here last Friday. Mrs. Green had been afflicted

for more than a year with tuberculosis. On consulting a specialist last October, she

was advised to take to her bed, which she did and continued for about a month, after

which time she was up and down, according to the way she felt until about three weeks

ago when she took to her bed and remained there until her death. It is sad that so

young a woman should be called from this world. Rose Leoti Hamlin was born in Harrisburg

Township, Van Buren County, Iowa, Nov. 28, 1888. In 1907 she moved with her parents to

Bonaparte, where she lived until August 5, 1908. She then was married to James Green,

since which time she has lived in Farmington where she died Feb.17, 1911, aged 22 years,

2 months and 19 days. She was the mother of one daughter, born in 1909, who died at the

age of seven months. She made many friends during her short residence here who regret

very much to see their friend taken away in her young womanhood. She was preceded [sic]

to the better world by father, mother, one brother and one sister. She leaves to mourn

their loss, her husband, three brothers Frank, Fred and John, and two sisters, Mrs. Chas.

Matlock and Miss Laura Hamlin, besides other relatives and a host of friends.– News-
