Son of James Harvey Doxsee and Almira Smith, husband of Caroline Peters and father of Charles Oscar, James Harvey, William Henry, Mabel Emma (married Julian Edgar Redfern), and Helen Carrie Doxsee (married Ambose Burgess).
Obituary - Funeral services were held yesterday from the residence of his father, James H. Doxsee, over the remains of Henry S. Doxsee, who died early in the present week at Oracoke, an island in waters off the North Carolina coast. The deceased was 51 years of age, and was a native of Islip, where he was from boyhood associated with his father in business either in agricultural pursuits or in the clamming industry. When the difficulty to obtain the Long Island bivalves arose some years ago, Mr. Doxsee went to Orakoke and located where he has since resided, a matter of upwards of ten years. The business in spite of floods, tidal waves, and a hundred other disasters, was in splendid shape, and Mr. Doxsee was said to be prospering. He returned to Islip some months ago to visit kinfolk, and former friends, and while not in as rugged health as in former years, was apparently destined to be spared for a long period. He was a man possessed of much natural ability, fond of life, and good company, and the news of his death caused much surprise and regret here. He is survived by a widow and three sons, Collector Charles O. Doxsee, Harvey and William, two daughters, besides a father and several brothers and sisters.
