*Obituary (as written)
Prairie Grove Herald
Friday, April 3, 1925
MATLOCK, J.B. - Mr. J.B. Matlock was born in Franklin, Kentucky, October 29, 1839, moved to Johnson County, Missouri in the early setting up of that State and resided there the most of his life. He moved to Prairie Grove 3 years ago where he died March the 17th, 1925 and was buried in the local cemetery. The funeral services were conducted at the Baptist church, March 18th. Deceased was married to Nancy Hough early in 1864. To this union were born five daughters; four living and one dead. They are Mrs. Annie Maupin of Lamar, Missouri; Mrs. Lou Garrett, Sperry, Oklahoma; Mrs. Ella Crane, Sand Springs, Oklahoma and Mrs. Maggie Crane, Tulsa, Oklahoma, all of whom were very attentive to him in his last illness. Mr. Matlock enlisted in the Confederate army at the beginning of the war and served until it was over. He fought in several battles; Independence, Pea Ridge, was wounded at Wilson’s Creek and at Prairie Grove was Gen. Hindmans’ body guard. I could write page after page that he has told me of his experiences during the war, which was his delight to tell as long as he lived. December 24th, 1906 he was married to Mrs. Jennie S. Davis, who survives him. The best and most important that could be said about him, he was converted when twenty-seven years of age and lived a consistent Christian life until he died. May the same be said of his children and relatives. - J.F. Barnes
