DOTSON, child of Elias - Paul?)
Source: Covington Republican Friday, November 11, 1898
A small child of Elias Dotson living in Fulton Township died Monday of scarlet fever. Three other children are lying dangerously ill with the disease and are not expected to live.
NOTE: Saw nothing in findagrave; saw nothing in the death records. I do have an exceedingly large database of Montgomery, Fountain and Parke County people and in it I think this is likely Paul who was born earlier in 1898 and he was not in the 1900 census with them.
