Dateline Chicago -- Sitting here at the window of my home gazing out
over the snow-covered earth, midway into the murky January day: my
thoughts dwell upon the life and character of our esteemed kinswoman,
Mrs. Susan C. Dohoney, the widow of Thomas Rhodes Dohoney, both of whom
were once useful and highly respected citizens of Adair Co. Even while I
write a train bears the body of the widow southward to be laid to rest
beside her husband in the old home town, Columbia, in their beloved
native state of Kentucky. During the last six weeks of her life I was
with her, and heard her talk much of her past life, -- the happy, easy
days in Columbia; the wider and more strenuous social life in
Louisville, Frankfort, and other cities in Kentucky. The the business
life she had in this rushing city of Chicago during these later years...
She spoke of the beautiful day, as we looked out at the sunshine on New
Year's Day. Then on Jan. 2nd at 3:10 o'clock in the afternoon, she
gradually and peacefully breathed her last. On next Wednesday, Jan. 7th,
old Adair will receive to her bosom another wandering daughter, come
home to sleep the last sleep.
Respectfully, Kate Dohoney.

Obituary from Adair CO News, Jan 13, 1903
The remains of Mrs. Susan Dohoney reached Columbia last Tuesday evening and were stopped at the residence of Mr. Jo. Coffey. Wednesday afternoon the funeral services were conducted by elder W K Azbill after which the body was laid beside the husband in the city cemetery. The deceased was in her 75th year and was a daughter of Milton P Wheat, who was one of the first merchants of Columbia. Early in life she was married to Thomas R Dohoney who was United States Marshall of Kentucky under Lincoln's administration and died at this place in 1863. The deceased was a lady of fine business attainments and leaves many relatives and friends in Adair County, and in Louisville and Chicago, IL where she spent the major portion of her life.
