Note: The title for this obituary said: "Edward R. Dobbs, Veedersburg, Dies" but the obituary begins Richard R. Dobbs as is typed below. On 2-26-2013, his granddaughter, Marilyn H. noted that his correct name is Edward Roscoe Dobbs which is easily confirmed via WWI & WWII Draft records and more. Thanks Marilyn for catching this one :)
