                      DEATH OF A. C. DOOLEY

Mr. A.C. Dooley died at his home in the Big A section Sunday night, 
May 27th, from diseases incident to old age, he being in his 85th 
year.  His body was interred at Ebenezer cemetery Monday afternoon, 
the funeral services, which were largely attended, being conducted by 
Rev. R. Y Ryder.

Mr. Dooley was born and reared in Franklin county, and was twice 
maried. His first wife was Miss Sophronia Thomason, whom he married in 
1853, and who died in 1893.  This union was blessed with ten children, 
three sons and seven daughters, of whom the following survive; W.T. 
Dooley, of Cordova, Als; J. H. Dooley of New Orleans, La.; Mrs. W.H. 
Keeling, of Toccoa; Mrs. D.H. Collier, Mrs. D.J. Bell and Mrs. M.B. 
Collier, of Big A.

In 1903 he married Miss Florence Robinson, who with two children 
survives him.

Mr. Dooley served through the Civil War in the Western army, 
participated in many battles and was wounded in the leg.  He held the 
post of orderly sergeant.  After the war he was sheriff of Franklin 
county for several terms, and then moved to Toccoa, where or in which 
vicinity he had since resided.  He was a good neighbor, and counted 
his friends by the score.
