Obituary - Mrs. Amanda C. Mills Dobbs, 2 Apr 1915 

The following obituary appeared in the 2 Apr 1915 edition 
of the Marietta Journal and Courier. 

"Mrs. Amanda C. Dobbs laid to Rest Here. Widow of Mr. 
James P. Dobbs. Died in Atlanta on Monday morning. 

"Mrs. Amanda C. Dobbs, widow of Mr. James P. Dobbs, 
died in Atlanta while visiting a friend, Monday morning 
at four o'clock. The funeral was conducted at the First Baptist 
church, of which she had been a member for 27 years, on 
Tuesday afternoon by Rev. G. S.Tumlin. The interment was 
in the City cemetery. 

"Mrs. Dobbs was Miss Amanda C. Mills of Elbert County 
before her marriage in 1855. She would have been 80 years 
old in November. Her married life was spent in Marietta 
and six years ago she went to Atlanta to live with her 
only son Mr. A. M. Dobbs. Her two daughters, Mrs. Mamie Thornton 
and Mrs. Addie Hood, passed away many years ago. 

"Mrs. Dobbs loved Marietta and often visited her grand- 
daughter Mrs. Walter Sams and other relatives here. She was 
devoted to her church and was a most sincere philanthropist. 
She was always good-humored, sympathetic and unobtrusive. She 
had gone to Atlanta to attend the Chapman-Alexander meetings 
when seized by her final illness. 

"At the church Miss Maud Foster was organist while Mrs. H. C. 
Dobbs sang 'Face to Face' and the hymns 'How Firm a Foundation' 
and 'There is Rest for the Weary' were 
sung by Mrs. H. C. and Mrs. E. P. Dobbs, Mrs. W. A. Maddox, 
Mrs. John Warren and Messrs. Gus Benson, George Edwards, 
C. B. Mitcham and L. A. Adams. The pall-bearers were deacons 
of the church: R. H. Northcutt, M. R. Lyons, C. T. Carnes, 
E. H. Northcutt, J. R. Fowler and N. M. Mayes." 

[Submitters notes: Amanda Catherine Mills was born on 15 Nov 
1835 in Elbert Co., the daughter of William Mills and Nancy 
Brown. She married on 8 Nov 1854 in Elbert Co. to James P. 
Dobbs. Her siblings were Frances, Moses Edward, Lucy Ann, 
Martha Adderline, Augustus Lafayett, Maria Louisa, Benjamin
