Note: am entering this memorial with the married surname "Van Doren". There are some Fairfield City Cemetery burial listing that entered the name as "Van Dorin", possibly based on phonetic spellings which can vary with this family.
The DOB is calculated from the obituary aged information, as being aged 62 years, 3 months and 8 days, death being on January 15, 1894. Caution: there are some family trees on Ancestry that use other DOB's based on census records or other information, so even this obituary information should be used with some caution and not necessarily totally accurate.
Likely buried in Lot 102, but was not provided a headstone or inscription (or if one was installed, it has long since been missing). Husband Richard H. Van Doren (a/k/a Van Dorin) and son Millard Van Dorin (a/k/a Van Doren) also, at least, buried in this same plot. Other family members possibly in the same plot, but not certain.
