Son of Joseph Doolin & Mary E. Glass
No stone found
George W. Doolin was known throughout the countryside east of Murphysboro, as well as New Hill is known to men, women and children. He had hundreds of friends in Murphysboro.
Deceased was born in Butler county, Mo. He came to Mt. Carbon 56 years ago, a pioneer there is the early days of mining, smiling through the vicissitudes of the time and contribution then, as in later years, to the good life of the community.
Thirty-six years ago Mr. Doolin's christian inclinations led him to the pastorate of the community's Christian church. The congregation never gave him up until last night.
The deceased has been married three times and was the father of 21 children, ten of whom survive. Children of his last marriage, to Miss Laurs Suttin of Mt. Carbon in 1904, who survive are Myrtie Henry, Cledus, Pauline and Woodrow, all at home.
Children surviving of the former marriages are: Otis, Thurman, Joe James, Thurman and James living east of the river and the others in Murphysboro. Also Mrs. Ruby Green, Johnston City, of the second marriage.
Other surviving relatives besides the wife are the sisters, Mrs. Ellis Irwin of Murphysboro and Mrs. Laura McCoskey of Sattley, Cal. Also a half sister, Mrs. Mamie House, Benson, Neb., and a half brother, "Doc" Doolin of Delhi, Ark.
The passing of the citizen was a profound shock to all. Mt. Carbon community never will seem the same with his familiar figure and kindly voice gone. Many young men are they who, at one time or another, have heeded the words from his heart, which ever bade them to look to the better things of life and make their home "first."
Deceased had been a member of the Modern Woodmen for years and was a member of local 2368, U. M. W. of A., Murphysboro. Despite his years he had continued coal mining.
At the home of his son Thurman Sunday afternoon, Mr. Doolin had expressed the conviction that he had "never felt better in his life." From Thurman's home Mr. Doolin had returned to his own home and gone to the Church of the Nazarene for the evening's services.
Funeral rites will be conducted in the Mt. Carbon Christian church. Interment in Doolin cemetery.
