Mrs. Mary Dobson, age 80 years and four months, died this morning at 3 o'clock at the home of her son Henry Dobson, 812 North West street, of infirmities of old age after a five weeks' illness. The funeral service will be held Friday from the Christian church with Rev. George Winfrey officiating. Burial will take place in the Odd Fellow cemetery.
Mrs. Dobson was moved to the home of her son in the north part of the city when her condition became serious. She was a member of the Dunkard church until two years ago when she united with the Christian church. She was one of the older residents of the city and was well known.
The deceased is survived by one son, Henry Dobson, of this city, one daughter, Mrs. Ella Shepard, of Alexandria; one brother, James Jarrett, residing in Scott Addition, and two sisters residing in western states.

The International Order of Odd Fellows was a benevolent and fraternal organization started in the early 1800’s in England, the Necessity Lodge 222 of the IOOF was started in Alexandria The Odd Fellow’s Cemetery Association was started in 1867 and was created to provide burial space for the members of the lodge as a benefit of membership.
In the 1920’s, because of several reasons, the Lodge began experiencing financial difficulties and would ultimately surrender its charter in 1945.
Very few records of burials in any of the 9 township cemeteries exist, as it has been said that they were lost in fires some time back.
