Austin Man Found Dead at Crockett
Charles Madden, 45, of Austin, eldest son of Judge J. W. Madden, ex-secretary of state, was found dead at the home of his father in Crockett at noon last Tuesday, according to word received by his wife, who resides here at 1907 University Avenue. An inquest was held by the coroner who rendered a verdict that Mr. Madden had come to his death by his own hand.
Mr. Madden left three notes, one addressed to his wife, one to his father and one to his son, saying he had been in declining health for some time. Besides his parents, Judge and Mrs. J. W. Madden, of Crockett, he is survived by his widow and five children, Elizabeth, Charles, Kathryn and dean of Austin, and J. W. Madden, Jr., who resides in San Antonio; one sister, Mrs. Addie Boone, of Cleburne, Texas; and one brother, Eris Madden, of Portland, Oregon.
Charles Madden was well known in Jourdanton, Texas, where he was engaged in the hardware business for many years and during which time he served the city as mayor for several terms. He will also be remembered as manager for the Griffith Lumber Company of Crockett, which position he resigned to enter the cattle business. He later moved back to Austin to give his children better school facilities.
Funeral services were held at the residence of Mr. Madden's father at Crockett Wednesday and burial was in Crockett cemetery. The Rev. A. S. Lee, pastor of the Baptist church, assisted by the Rev. C. A. Lehmberg, pastor of the Methodist church, conducted the funeral services. (Austin American-Statesman, Austin, Tex, Jan 17, 1926 -
