Since he was named after his father, he decided to go by his middle name of Madison. Most of the time it was shortened to Matt, and his name was often erroneously recorded as Matthew.
He married Lizzie Miller on June 20, 1899 and they had nine children; a girl, and then eight sons. He worked in the timber industry, according to censuses.
Matt was a really loving father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. His great-granddaughter, Sharon, remembers how he would pull her into his lap and give her candy and lots of hugs. She remembers how his stubbly beard would tickle her face.
Matt was really a special man and I only wish I could have been around when he was.
He passed away of natural causes.
