Prominent Manufacturer and Financier.
There is no manufacture in which in re- cent years so much progress has been made as in that of pottery, and it is the one on which the health of the community depends in a great measure. Active and careful at- tention to all the details of this interesting manufacture is an essential, and there is none engaged in it at the present time, who is more careful and conscientious in this re-

spect than was the late Harry Smith Mad- dock, of Trenton, New Jersey, president of the Thomas Maddock's Sons' Company, and closely identified with some other of the most important enterprises of Trenton. It is only appropriate that, in connection with his life, we should give a short re- view of his family.
The Maddocks are of English origin, and John Maddock, great-grandfather of the subject of this review, removed from Old Chester, England, to Staffordshire, where he made the acquaintance of John Davenport, a manufacturer of porcelain. Two of the sons of John Maddock, John and Thomas, became adepts in the art of decorating porcelain ware, in the factory of Mr. Davenport, and John Maddock, Jr., organized the firm of John Maddock & Sons, Porcelain Manufacturers, at Burs- lem, and this is still in successful existence. His brother, Thomas Maddock, married Mary Crompton, and upon his death in 1836, his widow with several of the chil- dren came to the United States. She set- tled in New York City and its vicinity.
Thomas Maddock, second son of Thom- as and Mary (Crompton) Maddock, left England in 1847 with his first wife, came to the United States and settled in New York, where he started a business for the decoration of porcelain at No. 39 Greene street. In 1849 he removed to larger quar- ters at No. 29 Spruce street. Warram & Hawghout later made an arrangement with them, by which they were to remove to the quarters of this firm at No. 563 Broad- way, and decorate exclusively for them. From every point of view this was a most successful arrangement. In 1853 the firm of Maddock & Leigh decorated a dinner service for the United States government for use in the White House while President Franklin Pierce was in office, and they also decorated a service for the St. Nicholas Hotel, of New York City, which was open- ed in that year. The following year im- paired health, owing to too close attention
and devotion to business affairs, compelled Mr. Maddock to sell his interest to his part- ner, and he retired to his farm near Ber- nardsville, Somerset county, New Jersey. Upon the complete restoration of his health in 1856, he removed to Brooklyn, New York, and there purchased the Star Hotel, which he conducted eight years. He join- ed the Thirteenth Regiment, National Guard, in 1859, and in 1861 his regiment acted as the escort of the Prince of Wales during his visit to this country. In 1866 he bought a crockery and glassware business in Jersey City, New Jersey, and having disposed of the Brooklyn hotel early in 1867, removed to Jersey City. He pur- chased an interest in the Carroll Street Pot- tery, at Trenton, New Jersey, in 1872, the style of the firm being Millington & Ast- bury. The firm name of this pottery, which had been established in 1859, was later changed to Millington, Astbury & Maddock, and they added the manufacture of sanitary earthenware. When Mr. Mil- lington retired in 1874 the firm was contin- ued under the name of Astbury & Mad- dock until the death of Mr. Astbury in 1878, when Mr. Maddock associated with himself his three sons, who had been en- gaged in individual enterprises in Jersey City, and the firm of Thomas Maddock & Sons was established in 1882. The adjoin- ing pottery, known as the City Pottery, was purchased in 1886, and in 1890, that part of the plant between Ewing and Car- roll streets was destroyed by fire. In 1892 the Trenton China Pottery, then in the hands of a receiver, was purchased, and operated as a separate corporation under the name of the Maddock Pottery Com- pany Lamberton Works. The City Pottery section was destroyed by fire in 1892. Mr. Maddock married (first) in England, Honor Bossom, and (second) in America, Isabelle M. Middleton. 1

1861, and died at his home in Trenton, New Jersey, January 24, 1914, after an ill- ness of less than four days. He was very young when his parents removed to Jer- sey City, and there attended the public schools and the Hasbrouck Institute. He was of a bright, ambitious and energetic nature, and was yet a young lad when he be- came associated with his father in the pottery business, a thorough knowledge of which he acquired under the conscientious tuition of his father. He had not quite attained his majority when the firm of Thomas Maddock & Sons was established. In this relation he had ample opportunity for the display of his remarkable executive ability. He was a keen student of human nature and an excellent judge of character. This enabled him to make the best selection of men to fill the positions in his control, and the friendly interest he always showed in the welfare of those under him made them regard him with a degree of affection not often found between master and man. His stern sense of justice never permitted him to leave a complaint uninvestigated, and the natural result of this was a harmony which was very satisfactory to both employer and employed. Business matters, however, were not allowed to engross all of his at- tention, and he served as police commis- sioner of Trenton for a period of thirteen years, during three terms of which he serv- ed as president of the Police Board. Among · other business enterprises with which he was connected were The Mechanics' . National Bank of Trenton, of which he was a director ; a director of the Maddock Pot- tery Company ; a director of the Jonathan Batley Crucible Company ; director of the Manufacturers' Association of New Jer- sey, and treasurer of the insurance com- pany in connection with this organization. One of his chief recreations was farming. and he maintained a beautiful summer home near Pennington, New Jersey. He was not a member of any church, but his religious views were those of the Metho-
