Biography

OBITUARY: ORRIN H. MALONE CLAIMED BY DEATH

An illness of five weeks was fatal to one of the town's leading citizens. Born in Madisonville in 1866, he had lived in Cadiz for fifty-years. Mr. Orrin H. Malone, one of the leading and most popular citizens of Cadiz, died last Thursday afternoon at four o'clock at his room in the Cadiz Hotel after an illness of five weeks.

Mr. Malone had not enjoyed perfect health for some time. Five weeks before his death he was taken suddenly ill and went to bed. He was regarded as a real sick man from the first, and while there were days when he would get better the improvement always appeared to be temporary with more alarming complications to follow. His illness was due to a complication of troubles and high temperature and high blood pressure were evident most every day. For several days before the end the family and attending physician realized his illness had reached a critical stage, and hopes of friends and skill of the attending physician were unable to prolong his life.

Mr. Malone was born in Madisonville on the 22nd day of November 1866, and was a son of the late John S. Malone, being one of a family of ten children. On the 4th of next July fifty years ago the family moved to Cadiz and Mr. Malone had since been a citizen of this place. He had been twice married, his first wife was Miss Helen Ellis, to whom he was married in 1891. The wife lived but a year and an only daughter lived to be about three-years of age.

He was second married to Miss Pearl Smith, of Cerulean Springs took place on June 23, 1897 and the wife and a little daughter, Martha, survive him. Two other children, Elizabeth and a little son are dead.

Surviving are two sisters and three brothers, as follows: Mrs. Kate Laseter, of Cincinnati, Mrs. Henry Malone of Cadiz; and his business partner; Ed and Roy Malone, of Chicago, and Mrs. Hixon M. Quick of Princeton.

Cadiz had no more useful citizen than Orrin Malone and none who stood higher in public esteem.

Frank in his manner, positive in his views, he conceded to all others the same rights he claimed for himself. Loyal to his friends, devoted to his family, he delighted in the company of both and was congenial and clever in his associations. He had a rare gift of humor that his friends often enjoyed, and as a recreation he was a great fisherman and delighted in the sport. A strong believer in temperance, he practiced what he preached but granted to all the right to differ if they so chose. He was a man of great energy and a mechanic of rare genius, and there were no working limitations if there was labor to be performed.

For more than thirty-five years he had been a member of the firm of Malone Brothers of this city, wagon makers and iron and wood workmen, and for fifteen-years had been also engaged in the Hotel business in Cadiz. He also owned a good farm east of town, and took interest in its management and the proper cultivation of the soil and the growing of crops and fruit.

In religion he was a Methodist and for many years had been a member of the Methodist Church. He was also a member of the School Board of the town of Cadiz, and had been for a number of years being re-elected a year ago for another term.

To say that he will be greatly missed puts it but lightly. The friend of everybody, he enjoyed the friendship of all, and it will be no easy job to get someone to fill his place in the town and the community.

Funeral services were held at the Hotel Friday afternoon at three o'clock services being conducted by his pastor, Rev. George E. Foskett. The Masons, of which he was an honored member, were in charge of the burial services, which took place at East End Cemetery. The pallbearers were among his intimate associates and they were: John W. Cowherd, A. Percy White, J. Preston White, W.G. Waltrip, J. Charles Humphries and Henry R. Lawrence.

A large number of friends and sorrowing relatives accompanied the remains to their last resting place and the flowers that covered the grave were numerous and beautiful.

Mrs. Malone will continue to operate the Hotel, and for the immediate present there will be no change in the firm name nor the plan of the business done by Malone Brothers. (source-findagrave)^[1]
