The Granite (OK) Enterprise, Thursday, March 2, 1978
Mrs. J.O. Paden, 65, news editor for The Mangum Star- News, died last Saturday, February 25, at the Mangum City Hospital following an illness of ten days.
Funeral services for Mrs. Paden were held last Monday afternoon in the First United Methodist Church of Mangum. Officiating was the pastor, the Rev. Arden J. Smith. Pall bearers were Ken Silk, Keith Mathis, Lowell Hatton, Verlin Bell, R.O. Heatly and Dick Powell. Honorary pall bearers were C.O. Clark, Custer Cowan, Gene Greer and Ben Langdon. Greer Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements.
Jerry Young Paden was born Feb. 1, 1913 in Mangum, the daughter of Marvin and Hester Rude Young. She lived almost her entire life in Mangum. She married Joseph Oklahoma Paden on Oct. 13, 1944 in Sayre. The Padens lived for one year in Rhode Island and one year in Watonga.
For the past 19 years, Mrs. Paden worked for The Mangum Star-News. For 17 years she was society editor, and for the last two years she had been news editor. She had previously worked at the County Extension Office for several years.
Mrs. Paden was a member of the First United Methodist Church of Mangum. She was active in ESA sorority.
Surviving Mrs. Paden are her husband, Joe, Mangum; a daughter, Jane Paden, Purcell; a son, Jodie, Oklahoma City; two grandchildren, Billy and Sara Paden; her mother, Hester Young, Mangum; a brother, Dick Young, Norman and other relatives.
As a worker at The Mangum Star, Jerry will be impossible to replace. Her knowledge of almost everyone and everything in Mangum was invaluable. In addition, with nearly 20 years on this paper, she knew all of the ins and outs of the running of The Mangum Star better than anyone.
Ben Langdon, former publisher of The Mangum Star-News and under whom Mrs. Paden started her newspaper career had this to say: “Jerry had many friends in Mangum and Greer County which gave her news stories a warmer tone. She was writing about friends, many of whom she had known since birth. It was a fortunate day for us when Jerry joined our staff 19 years ago.”
