DOORES - After a lingering and painful illness, Miss Bettie Doores died at her residence in this city, early Monday morning. She had suffered from cancer for some years, all efforts to check the disease proving of no benefit. She leaves a sister, Mrs. Mary Noel, of Danville, and two brothers, James E., of Lancaster, and Dr. Doores, of Crab Orchard. She was a life-long and devoted member of the Baptist church, a true Christian, and a willing worker for the cause of her Master. She was highly esteemed by all who knew her, and her death is deeply deplored. Services were conducted at the residence Tuesday morning and the remains intered in the Lancaster Cemetery.

The Doores house, on Water street, advertised to be sold Monday, has a little bit of interesting history. It is one of the oldest residences in Lancaster. When first built, it was occupied by Hon. Sam McKee, then by Chief Justice Robertson, then by Governor Letcher. Immediately after their marriage, each of these distinguished gentlemen began housekeeping in this residence. Stranger still, each was elected to Congress while residing there. The house is still in a good state of preservation and bids fair to last many years longer. It will be sold Monday to settle the Doores estate, one of the heirs having died.
