Obituary
Mary Adeline Haddock, was born January 1, 1865 and passed away at her home
in Fairview, Mo., April 4, 1939, at the age of 64 years, 3 months and 3 days.
In February 1912, she was united in marriage to Henry B. McCary, who
preceded her in death. She was converted at an early age and at the time of
her death was a member of the Fairview Baptist Church of Fairview, Mo. She
was always found at her post of duty so long as her health would permit.
She reared five brothers and sisters to manhood and womanhood, and later
took five orphan children of her brother’s into her heart and home, whom she
cared for with a mother’s love and care.
She leaves to mourn her passing, two sisters, Mrs. Ann Medlin of Joplin,
Mo., two brothers, J.C. Haddock of Cocora, N. M., and Bill Haddock of
Fairvew, Mo., and a host of other relatives and friends.
It can be said thoughtfully that she has done her part in life, she has
fought a good fight – the victory won and home, sweet happy home at last.
Funeral services were held at the Baptist Church in Fairview on Thursday
afternoon, April 6 by Chas. Vanzandt of Exeter and burial made in the
Chitwood Cemetery, south of Wheaton, under the direction of the Horine
Culver Undertaking Co.
