I thank my God for every remembrance of you. - Phil. 1:3
"I want you to know you are never forgotten,
That the old, old days hid in memory sweet
Are still a part of my life that I cherish,
Without them so much would be incomplete.
And you are mixed up with so much I remember,
Your name I utter so often in prayer,
Never forgotten on earth or in heaven,
Always the child of God's tenderest care."
"I want you to know you are never forgotten,
That my thoughts and my prayers are folding you round;
Rest in His promises, go where He sends you,
Do what He bids you, faithful be found.
Look up and trust Him, a new year is dawning,
Stretch out your hand and take His today,
Bought by Him, loved by Him, never forgotten,
Hid in His heart forever and aye!"

Another Old Pioneer Answers to the Last Roll Call - Had lived in Mills County Since 1864. Died, at his home in North Tabor, April 2, 1910, Mr. John H. Madden, aged nearly 77 years. Thus passes from our midst another of the honored pioneer citizens.
John H. Madden was a man of excellent character, and sturdy constituion, and he continued to be active in his accustomed pursuits till long past the age at which men ordinarily drop out of the ranks of the workers. To this end, there is no doubt that his sunshiny disposition largely contributed. He met most of the conditions and situations of life with a joke. He was a practical, mater-of-fact man, but had his own peculiar way of extracting merriment from life as it went along, and he was not disposed to worry about matters that could be bettered in other ways. This cheerful spirit remained with him to the last, and he retained his clearness of intellect up to this closing days. He was invarably a good neighbor and there was no happier family ciccle in the land than his. When he died, full of years, and ready to be gathered to his father's the grief that was felt over the close of his long career was widespread and sincere. His best monument will be the good report that he has left behind him in the community in which he has lived for so many years.
John H. Madden was born in Muskingum County, Ohio May 1, 1833 and died at his home in Tabor, April 2, 1910 age 76 years, 11 months, 1 day. He arrived in Iowa, June 29, 1864, after a journey requiring thirty three days, and located in White Cloud Township, Mills County. In 1866 he moved to his farm five miles northeast of Tabor. Fifteen years ago he moved to North Tabor and that his home till death. Nov 5 1857 he was married to Mary Fickle, of Perry County, Ohio. Four children were born to them, three of whom still live; Mrs. James Evans, Mrs. J. H. Davis, Minatare, Nebraska, and Lizzie. Besides these there is a step son, Joshua Wilson, of Gordon, Neb. Mrs. Madden died October 16, 1898.
Mr. Madden was charter member of the present class of the Fairview M.E. Curch which was organized in 1888 and also a charter member of the Tabor M.E. Church organized in 1903.
Note: The obituary was in my family's possessions. John H. Madden was married to my gggrandmother, step-father to my great grandfather, Joshua Wilson. As with all old obituaries, it was cut out of a newspaper, without naming the newspaper.
