Abner Dooley, known as Dooley to family and friends, was the third of Robertson & Martha Amanda (Williamson) Mize's nine children.
His first marriage was to Mary Corilla Pearson in Newton Co, MO on October 18, 1874. Mary died three days after giving birth to their child on April 9, 1877. Both are buried in the Old Civil War Newtonia Cemetery.
His second marriage was to Dora Bell Breedlove in Newton Co, MO on March 7, 1880. Their children were: B. Robert, Ione, Bernice, & Paul D.
His sisters were editors of the local newspaper in Newtonia, The Newton County News. From time to time they published various news articles about him & his family, which provides a Birdseye view into their lives, some of which follows:
June 11, 1891
"Mr. and Mrs. A.D. Mize and baby daughter, Ione, who have been visiting relatives in this place for the past few weeks, left yesterday for their home in Kingfisher, Oklahoma territory."
May 10, 1894
"A.D. Mize, formerly of Newton county, Missouri, but for the last few years a citizen of Oklahoma Territory, is now the local editor of the Daily Tribune Democrat at Enid, Oklahoma Territory, a newsy, well patronized paper."
March 19, 1896
"A.D. Mize with his wife and little daughter live at Enid, Oklahoma Territory, where they took a claim. He edited a paper in that growing little city for a time and was also in the real estate business, but is now devoting his time to his farm as it is more conducive to his health. His wife was formerly Miss Dora Breedlove."
May 21, 1896
"Born, to Mrs. and Mrs. A. D. Mize of Enid, Oklahoma territory, on Sunday, May 17th, 1896, an eleven pound girl."
November 19, 1896
"On last Thursday A.D. Mize who is visiting in Newtonia, started from here to Galena, Kansas, with a young horse hitched to a cart. When he reached the mill near the Granby depot his horse became frightened at some loose horses and began kicking and running, breaking the traces and kicking its driver on the right arm and in the right side, turning the cart over and stomping on Mr. Mize's back. He was pretty badly bruised up and his right wrist thrown out of place. He had it set at Granby and returned to Newtonia. His arm has been quite painful, but he is gradually recovering from the hurt."
December 31, 1896
"Mr. and Mrs. A.D. Mize and two little daughters and L.W. Mize of Peirce City spent Christmas with relatives in Newtonia." (L.W. Mize was his younger brother, Leonard Walter.)
January 28, 1897
"A.D. Mize, solicitor for the Baptist Missionary, spent Sunday with his sisters in Newtonia."
May 20, 1897
"Messrs. A.D. and L.W. Mize of the Baptist Missionary of Peirce City were visiting their sisters in this place last Saturday and looking after the cleaning off and otherwise beautifying the graves of relatives in the old Newtonia cemetery."
June 10, 1897
"L.W. Mize, publisher of the Baptist Missionary at Peirce City, who left the city on May 29th, and did not get his paper out last week, has not yet returned. His brother, A.D. Mize, who was also away at the time, was notified of his brother's absence and returned to Peirce City and is getting the paper out this week. L.W. Mize's sisters of this place have been quite uneasy at his continued absence, but a letter from their brother, A.D. Mize states that he is expecting L.W. Mize on every train and thinks that his delay is caused through work connected with his business."
March 3, 1904
"A.D. Mize and family of Chicago arrived yesterday, being called here by the serious illness of Mrs. Mize's parents, Mr. and Mrs. E.N. Breedlove. They will visit Mr. Mize's sisters at Newtonia while here."
March 10, 1904
"A.D. Mize and family of Chicago are visiting Mr. Mize's sisters at Newtonia."
A few years before his death on March 21, 1927, he and Dora moved to CA. His obituary follows:
"NEWTONIA
A.D. Mize, son of Robert and Martha Mize, born May 25, 1852, and died March 21, 1927.
He had spent his time in the business part of town, on the day of his death until five o'clock. He ate a light supper at six, read the daily papers and talked about the different articles he had read and seemed to be feeling perfectly well when he retired at 9:30. He went to sleep immediately but awakened at 10:30, got up and went into another room where he called his wife. "I am dying" he said. His wife tried to give restoratives, but he only lived fifteen minutes from the time he called her.
A.D. Mize was well known in Newtonia and Newton county. He taught school in this town and other places in the county. He was for several years a traveling salesman with his headquarters in Chicago but for the past few years he has lived in Los Angeles where he dealt in real estate. He married Miss Dora Breedlove March 7, 1880.
He leaves to mourn his death his wife, one son, Paul, who is at home, two daughters, Mrs. Allen Crippen of Seattle, Wash., and Mrs. H.H. Walton of Santa Monica, Calif., one sister Miss Eva Mize of Newtonia, five grandchildren, besides a number of other relatives and friends."
