DOOLEY, Ezekiel Columbus - Montgomery InGenWeb Project

Ezekiel Columbus Dooley was born in Parke County, Indiana Dec 6, 1854 and died at his late home in Bedford, Iowa Feb 14, 1909 at his home at 8 p.m. Leaving Indiana he came to Missouri Sept 1893, locating at Hopkins, at which place he continued to reside, with the exception of two years spent in Oklahoma, until Dec 1907, when he moved to Bedford, where his death occurred as above stated. He was the son of Matthew & Hannah Dooley, the father passing away in 1857, when he was 2. His mother preceded him to the home above in 1870. The deceased was marr. to Luella Parker in 1869, who d. in May 1883. He was then married to Achsah F. Dulin June 30, 1887 at Waveland, Indiana, who with two children survive him and mourn his death, together with two brothers and one sister. The children are Paul & Pearl. He united with the ME Church at Wesley Chapel in Indiana in 1883 and lived in that faith and d. in the faith of the Gospel of Christ. The sickness which terminated in his death was of but short duration. However, he has been in poor health for a year or more, but still attended to his business. Many would have given up business long ago. He felt as though he must continue and did until forced by sheer exhaustion to remain indoors. His death was peaceful and without a struggle, like the quiet setting of the sun. The remains were taken to the old home at Hopkins, and the funeral held at the ME Church at that place, conducted by Elder Hendrickson, of Bedford and Rev. Foster of Hopkins. The relatives of the deceased have the sympathy of all here.
