Earnest Woodrew Maddox

Notes:

There is also a FindAGrave Memorial Page for Earnest Woodrow Maddox, but with a date of death of 1 Jan 1990, presumably in error. The date of birth is the same, 2 Dec 1912.

His burial is marked with a stone slab, not engraved, and paper marker, which is shown on the FindAGrave website, but too small to read. Perhaps this accounts for the incorrect date of death. The stone slab next to him is unmarked, as is a dirt grave next to the unmarked slab. One of the unmarked graves may be for his first wife, Ruby, who can be found enumerated with him at the time of the 1940 Rapides Parish, LA census. Earnest was a farm laborer. FindAGrave links him to Earnest Maddox, Jr., whose obituary shows him as a son of Earnest and Ruby Maddox.

Earnest married Pearl Zager on 2 Jun 1967, and was divorced on 7 Mar 1985 in Jasper County, Texas. Pearl (daughter of Johannes "John" Zager and Minnie Jane Smith) was born on 2 Sep 1913 in Sabine County, Texas; died on 28 Feb 1990 in Jefferson County, Texas; was buried in Jacks Cemetery, Pineland, Sabine County, Texas.
