HADDOCK, George Channing, clergyman, born in Watertown, New York, 23 January, 1832; died in Sioux City, Iowa, 3 August, 1886. He was partially educated at Black river institute in his native town, learned the printer's trade, and was connected with several Republican newspapers in Wisconsin. He was licensed to preach in the Methodist Episcopal church in 1859, and from 1860 until 1882 was actively engaged in temperance work and in opposing Spiritualism. He was transferred to the Iowa conference in 1882, and while endeavoring to enforce the prohibition laws of that state was assassinated in Sioux City. Besides pamphlets and tracts, he published several fugitive poems that became popular, including "Autumn Leaves," "The Skeleton Guest," and " The Cross of Gold." See his " Life" by his son (New York, 1887).
