Being of a retiring disposi- tion, Mrs. Dobson‘s circle of friends was naturally circumscribed, but in that circle she was held in the very highest esteem, she was beloved by all for her grand christian character. Out of respect to her memory, the high school remained closed until after the funeral, and the teachers exhibited their affection and sorrow by providing a floral§otferings of great beauty and rare excellence. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon. the re- mains being conveyed to the first methodist church, where ashort service was held, in which the Revs. Dr. Griffith, Joseph Young. “7.
