  • Story: Abigail Roath Obituary, 1900

    <p>OBITUARY OF MRS. JOSEPH (ABIGAIL ROATH) DORY, JR.</p><p>From the Fontanelle Observer, February 22, 1900</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Mrs. Joseph Dory died at her home southwest of town early last Sunday morning after a protracted illness. Abigail Roath was born in Montgomery County, New York February 25, 1828, and died at the advanced age of 71 years, 11 months and 23 days. She was married the second of May, 1847 to Mr. Joseph Dory, in Kane County, Illinois. They moved to Wisconsin where they remained until 1852, when they came to Allamakee County, Iowa and in 1869 they came to Adair County where they have continued to reside for more than thirty years. Eleven children were born to them and her life has been filled with abundant opportunities for self sacrificing devotion in her home duties. The funeral was held Tuesday at 2 p.m. at the Congregational Church conducted by Rev. H.J. Wilcox who preached a comforting sermon with the text found in the eighth verse of the 101st Psalm. Many friends attended the service and mingled their sorrow and sympathy with the bereaved family.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>Burial: Fontanelle Cemetery, Adair Co, IA
