(“The Doolen Family 1765-1933”

The community was in great shock when C.I. DOOLEN received a telegram stating that his son, Frank, passed away. Frank had been failing since be was discharged from the U.S. Army, and had been examined in various hospitals with no results. On Dec. 27 he consented to an operation on his father and brother, and Eli went to be with him. After the operation he came out of the ether alright, and had a long chat with Eli. After this chat he quietly passed away. Poor health had lasted about 3 years. After being discharged from the service, he entered Washington University of Dentistry, but on account of his health, he had to give up his school work. He made Master Mason at the age of 21 in the Kinmundy Lodge. He leaves a father; 2 brothers, William and Eli; one sister, Mrs. Ruby GARRETT; his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Mack ROBB; and Mr. Ben DOOLEN.
