Thursday, October 13, 1938

Samuel Dolen, eldest son of Wm. and Sarah Dolen, was born on February 14, 1878, on a farm west of Howard. He departed this life at the home place, one and one-half miles southwest of Howard, October 8, 1938 at 1:15 p.m.  At the time of his death he was 60 years, 7 months, and 8 days old.

He was married to Jessie Dougherty, March 22, 1911, who has been his constant companion and helpmate and cared for him tenderly during the time he was in failing health.

He is survived by his devoted wife, two brothers, and a sister.  The names of the brothers are Wm. of Howard, and Harvey of Okemah, Oklahoma.  The name of the sister is Mrs. Mary E. Dollinger of Oklahoma City.  He is also survived by two nephews, Allen Dolen of Panama Canal, and Fred C. Gardner, Jr. of Abilene, Kansas.  Also several cousins and other relatives.  One sister and twin brothers preceded him in death.

Mr. Dolen united with the Methodist church during the time that Rev. J. R. Cramer was pastor, nearly 20 years ago.  He has always been very active and loyal to the church since that time.  Duing the long months of failing health he has always maintained a cheerful and hopeful attitude and never found fault or complained.

He leaves a great host of friends in this community.

Funeral services were held at the Howard Methodist church at 2:00 p.m. on Monday, October 10, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Harry R. Weed, assisted by Rev. E E. Satterlee of Chanute, a former pastor.  Burial was in Grace Lawn cemetery, Howard.
