Joseph "Squire" Doolittle is the son of
Hopkins Doolittle 1764 - 1827 Ulster, New York
and
Mary Crout Doolittle 1783 - 1825
A Pioneer Gone
Mr. Joseph Doolittle died at his home in Magnolia, Rock Co., at half past eight o'clock on Monday night, July 20, 1885, of heart disease, superinduced by old age, at the advanced age of eighty years on the 14th day of February last. Mr. Doolittle came to Magnolia from Ohio, in 1849, and where he lived up to the time of his death. He was a man of broad christian views, stern in moral rectitude, and found always batteling for God and right. His education and moral integrity fitted him for almost any public position in the gift of the people. He had repeatedly served his town as Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, as Justice of the Peace, and other offices and positions where he was often called to officiate.
His family had grown to maturity, and mainly settled about him, his second son, Mr. H. E. Dootlittle, having been his watchful attendant since it became known that he could not long survive, and was present at his death. Other members of his family were early notified of his death, and were present at his funeral which was held at his house Wednesday. Sermon by Rev. Henry Sewell, of this place. His eldest son, Mr. Newton Doolittle, living in Minnesota, was telegraphed to, and arrived Tuesday night.
Mr. Doolittle married a second wife a few years ago, and who survives him. Thus the days of a good man have fled.
