Jackson Sentinel, Maquoketa, Iowa, January 7, 1886.

DIED-

Timothy Madden was buried by the Odd Fellows of this city Friday afternoon. The funeral occurred two days sooner than first intended on account of the weather being unfavorable for holding the corpse. Now that the body is in the ground it is of interest to know what property deceased had and what disposal has been made or will be made of it. When he left Maquoketa some nine or ten years ago he was known to have several thousand dollars in money and notes which he took with him for investment. By enquiry of his friend, D. S. Haight, he informs us that after his death $1,500 in gold was found among his papers; that he owned some mining stock and was proprietor of a large boarding house. Mr. Haight does not know what the estate is valued at and does not know whether he made a will or not, but he has been promised by Leadville lawyers a full explanation of the condition of his affairs at an early date, which will be furnished the Sentinel for publication.
