After the Civil War he went West, where he engaged in freighting, railroading and prospecting. after seven years of strife among the Indians, Mr. Dolan returned to Cass county, where he spent the major portion of the remainder of his life.

The surviving children are: Homer, Ward, Marie, Winnifred, Thelma and Gordon. The first named resides in Kansas City, while the remaining children, together with their mother, live near Klamath Falls, Ore.
From 1899 to 1903 Mr. Dolan honorably and efficiently served Cass County as its recorder of deeds. After his retirement from that office, he moved with his family to his farm in the Everett community, and after a residence there of three years returned to Harrisonville, where they lived for two years, when they moved to Kansas City. Five years later he moved with his family to a ranch adjoining that of his son, Ward, near Klamath Falls, Ore., where he resided until his death on Wednesday, July 4, 1917.
John Rector Dolan was converted to the Christian faith in 1889, and during the many years of his useful and honorable life the Democrat can state, without fear of contradiction, that he never wronged a fellow citizen. Besides his wife and six children, the deceased i also survived by three brothers-William Dolan of Freeman, Mo., and Thomas and Monroe Dolan both of Rocky Ford, Colo. and all of whom were present at the funeral.
The body of mr. Dolan arrived in Freeman last Saturday afternoon, in charge of his wife and daughter, Miss Marie, of Klamath Falls, and Homer Dolan of Kansas City.
