"JOHN DODDRIDGE DIES IN RAWHIDE"
Telegrams received here yesterday by H.F. Stickley and Robert H. Entey, announce the death at Rawhide, Nev., yesterday morning (Mar. 21. 1908) of John Scott Doddridge, late of this city and formerly a prominent mining man here.
The messages which were signed by Warren F. Page and L.F. Long, both Leadville Men who are now in Rawhide, were as follows:
"John Doddridge died this morning. Please notify people and have instructions wired."
Mrs. Doddridge, wife of the deceased, lives with her mother, Mrs. Mary A. Stevens, at 133 E. Fourth St. She was immediately notified of the receipt of the telegram and it's contents by Mr. Stickley, (Lillian was a stenographer for Mr. Stickley as a young woman) and was greatly shocked upon receiving the sad news. She promptly instructed that the remains should be sent to Glenwood Springs, where Mr. Doddridge had often expressed a wish to be buried.
The cause of death is not known here, but it is thought that it may have been due to the effects of an attack of pneumonia which Mr. Doddridge suffered a few years ago. He had a second attack last July (1907,) from the effects of which he never fully recovered.
When he left here about a month ago, he was in his usual good health, although he was still somewhat weak from the illness of last summer.
Mr. Doddridge was born about fifty-six years ago,(circa 1852) in Chillicothe, Ohio and when a young boy removed with his parents, Phillip and Mary Scott Doddridge, to Kanawa County, Virginia, where he attended the public schools of that section, and grew into manhood.
During his youth he became imbued with desire to come west, and in the late seventies located in Colorado. He first came to Leadville in 1879 and since then has lived here during the greater part of his time. He early engaged in mining here, and was successful in many of his ventures, so that when he died he was possessed of a competency. His operations were conducted in Lake, Park, Eagle and Summit counties, and he leaves considerable property throughout this part of the state.
A number of years ago Mr. Doddridge was married to Miss (Lillian) Stevens, an estimable young lady of this city, who together with (his) two sisters in West Virginia and a brother in Beren, Ohio, survives him. In Leadville and elsewhere he was respected by all who knew him. He had many friends in this city, and when the news of his death spread through the town yesterday morning, it occasioned deep regret. He was a man of temperate habits, just and kind to all and fond of his home.
His relatives in the East have been notified, but it is not known whether they will be in attendance at the funeral. A number from this city are arranging to go to Glenwood, Springs to attend the last service over the remains.
