VETERAN Answers the Final Roll Call on Tuesday ODD FELLOWS ASSIST IN FIRST FUNERAL OBSEQUIES DIED – On Tuesday, morning, one o’clock, January 31, 1904, (see note at end) at New Plymouth, Idaho, Mr. Charles H. Dorothy, aged 66 years, 5 months and 20 days. It was a painful surprise to our residents when the news reached their ears on Tuesday morning that C. H. Dorothy had passed away the night before. He contracted the grip about a week previous, and was being doctored by his sister-in-law, Mrs. E. B. Dorothy, of Payette, according to the absent Christian Science method. At two o’clock on Monday Dr. Drysdale was called and found that pneumonia had set in. He and Dr. Woodward did their best to save their patient but to no avail, and Mr. Dorothy said his final earthly farewell at one o’clock. The funeral took place on Wednesday at 11 o’clock at the Congregational church. The mourners were Mrs. C. H. Dorothy, wife of the deceased; Mr. E. B. Dorothy and family, D. J. Graves and family, T. D. French and family. The Odd Fellows assisted with the funeral, being the first death in the order here. Rev. Greenlee preached an able and consoling sermon on the resurrection, and the choir sang some sacred hymns including the war song, “Tenting Tonight on the Old Camp Ground.” The remains were then accompanied to the Park View cemetery for the final rites. The pall-bearers were Jos. Mason, Walter Burke, Peter Albert, Fred Ringer, J.F. Creasey, Bert Stilwell. The deceased was born in Ottawa, Illinois, August 11, 1838. He afterwards settled in Minnesota, and there enlisted in a regiment of infantry and served three years in the civil war. He had until his death a piece of his company’s flag that was never lowered in the face of the enemy. He married Mrs. Emily Conner, his present wife, 23 years ago at Genoa, Wisconsin. Mrs. Connor had four children, one of whom is Mrs. D. J. Graves, of this place. He came to Nebraska twenty-eight years ago, and settled in Idaho nine years ago, about two years ago building his home on West-Boulevard, New Plymouth. In the death of Mr. Dorothy the community loses a good man. He was a useful man to the close of his life. He finished building a house just a short time before his death. He was the violinist and leader of the orchestra and will be sadly missed by our musical circles, as well as the whole community with which he has been identified. The sorrowing wife and relatives have the sympathy of all. Additional Comments: (NOTE) checked the dates of the paper and they are correct so death date is 1- 31-1905. 1-31-1905 is a Tuesday & in 1904 it was a Sunday.ch File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/id/payette/obits/d/dorothy140nob.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.net/idfiles/ File size: 3.3 Kb
