A requiem high mass for Curtis M. Dozier, 80, of 106 West Hillcrest ave., will be sun at 11 a.m. Wednesday at St. Bridget's Roman Catholic Church, with burial in Mt. Calvary Cemetery.

Mr. Dozier joined Universal Leaf in 1919, retiring as secretary in 1951. He remained as counsel and director.

He was a former president of the Holy Name Society of the Cathedral, a member of the board of visitors of Benedictine High School and a member of the Knights of Columbus, Council 395, the Country Club of Virginia and the Commonwealth Club.

He is survived by four sons, Curtis M. Dozier, Jr. and Maurice F. Dozier, both of Richmond; Walter J. Dozier of Durham, N. C., and Msgr. Carroll T. Dozier of Norfolk, and a daughter, Mrs. Margaret D. Hotze of Richmond, and three brothers, Percy Dozier of Chicago, Allan Dozier of Ocean View and Herman C. Dozier of Norfolk, and a sister, Mrs. Mary Dozier Keeter of Norfolk.

The family requests that donations be made to St. John Vianney Seminary, in lieu of flowers."
