DOLBEER, John Henry
September 13, 1911
Paper Unknown
John Henry Dolbeer passed from this life at his home in Short Falls, September 13, at the age of seventy-two. He had been in poor health for some time but was able to be at the Old Home Day gathering, August 23; he failed rapidly at last.
Mr. Dolbeer was the son of Joseph Sherburne and Polly (Cate) Dolbeer, and spent his life on the farm where he was born as did his father before him. Mr. Dolbeer's ancestors settled early in Epsom and he was the last to bear the name in town. He was educated in the schools of the town and Pembroke Academy. His natural abilities raised him to prominence in the town and he was called to fill many positions of trust. He was twice sent as a delegate to the State Constitutional Convention and served on the Board of Education many years. He was Justice of the Peace for a long period. From its organization he was secretary of the Evergreen Lodge, I.O.O.F., and was also prominent in the Patrons of Husbandry.
Mr. Dolbeer's abilities, goodness of heart and congeniality, made him a valued citizen that will be greatly missed. Mr. Dolbeer was twice married, first to Miss Mary Sherburne of Chichester, second to Miss Catherine Towle of Epsom. He leaves a widow and one daughter, Mrs. Mary D. Gile, of Pembroke and four grandchildren to mourn this great loss.
Funeral services were held at the Congregational church Monday afternoon. There wa a large collection of friends and of the organizations of which he was a member. He was laid to rest near the home where he had so long resided.
