M. J. LIDDELL -- The Telegraph-Bulletin, Saturday, October 10, 1891, Page 2, Column 2
Death of Judge Liddell. Judge M.J. Liddell, formerly of this city, died at his home in Bozeman, Montana, last Saturday. We have no particulars but his death must have been very sudden as his friends here had not been apprized of his illness. Congressman Boatner received a telegram Sunday evening from his son, St. John, conveying the simple announcement that he had died the evening before.
Judge Liddell was born in Catahoula parish on the estate of his father, Gen. St. John Liddell, and was about 45 years of age. He settled in Richland parish after the war where he engaged in planting and the practice of the law, was parish Judge and subsequently a member of the legislature. He removed with his family to this city about 1880, practicing his profession here, and at different times was associated with Hon. C. J. Boatner and Col. R. Richardson. In 1881 he was appointed by President Cleveland Judge of the federal court of the then territory of Montana, with headquarters at Begenian(?) where he removed in that year and resided up to the time of his death. Montana having been admitted to the union as a state his office terminated and he returned to the practice of the law.
The death of Judge Liddell will be learned with great regret by his many friends throughout this state, by whom he was held in high esteem for his many sterling qualities of head and heart. He was a gentleman of the old school. Reared in wealth it was his misfortune to witness, subsequent to and in consequence of the war, the loss of a once princely estate, but he never forgot the __ of social life inoculated in his youth and his home was always proverbial for hospitality and good cheer.
