  • Notes 
    • Forwarded by Phil Burch - Breckenridge News 10/11/1905:

      James W. Mattingly, widely known in this part of Breckinridge County as "Chinkie" Jim Mattingly, died Friday afternoon at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Damuel Ahl, at Hawesville. He had been ill about a week, death being due principally, perhaps, to the infirmities of old age and nervous prostration. For several years he had been inn failing health. Mr. Mattingly was born in 1832 on Beechfork, near Mattingly, in which neighborhood he resided all his life, engaging in farming while his health permitted. In the sixties he was married to Miss Frances Wheatley, who survives him. To this union were born thirteen children, twelve of whom are living, and most of them in this county. Reared in the Catholic church, Mr. Mattingly was a man who possessed many good qualities. He was especially kind hearted and was noted for his love of horses and the excellent care he always took of them. J. C. Mattingly, of this city, when a boy, gave Mr. Mattingly the odd name of "Chinkie Jim" from his coming to his home one day with a pocketful of chincapins. "Chinkie" Jim Mattingly's father, than whom a better man never lived, was known to everybody as "Tic Douloureux Jim" Mattingly, owing to the disease of that name, form which he suffered untold agony for many years, but always said he thanked God it was no worse. "Chinkie Jim" Mattingly had two cousins who were each called "Turkey Jim" Mattingly and another cousin who was known as "Long Lick Jim" Mattingly. The remains of Mr. Mattingly were brought here Saturday morning from Hawesville and the interment was at St. Mary's graveyard, near Mattingly, on Sunday, Father Henry conducting the service.
