From The Holt County Sentinel-Oct. 25, 1901:

The Silent Reaper-

Miss Ada Dooley, living a few miles northwest of this city (Oregon), died at her home Saturday last, October 19, 1901, at the age of 23 years. Last spring Miss Dooley returned from St. Joseph from a visit with her mother, and while at home was taken with small pox, and suffered greatly from this disease. She recovered, but in a short time she was taken ill again and suffered continuously from a complication of diseases which caused her death.

She was a most excellent young lady and we are truly sorry to hear of her death.

She was born in Holt County August 5, 1878 and at the age of 15 united with Forest City Christian Church under the pastorate of Elder Craig. Upon her removal to St. Joseph she transferred her membership to the Woodson Chapel in north St. Joseph and was an earnest worker in the church and Christian Endeavor.

So patient and cheerful was she during her eight months illness that not once was she heard to murmur or complain. She leaves a mother, sister, and two brothers to mourn her death, her father having died some nine months ago.

Funeral services were conducted from the family home on Monday, last, by her pastor of the North St. Joseph Christian Church of which she was a member. The interment was in Maple Grove Cemetery, of this city.
