Samuel Rosecranz Doty, who had been a resident of thls town Jor uearly half a century died at noon, Wednesday, February 7, at the age of 81 years aud 2 mouths. Toold resldents nere thls announcement wlll recall one of the most familiar figures upon our streets for mauy years, thougn latterly withdrawn, flrst on account of decllnlug health and then because of severe sickness. Mr. Doty was a man of genial nature, grimt klndllness of hoart.credulous of good, incredulous of evil, helpful to those in need of help, Ktable and constant in the character of relativa, nelghbor and friend. Hls pbysical strength was spared to him in a remarkable degree, until the d.athof hls wlre, whlch occurred September 6, 1884. Then hls faithful steps began to show slgns of failiug. In hls young manhood he was of such athletic physlque Ihat it was said of him by one who knew him well, thut "nothing but a deer could outrun him." Him spirit was buoyant as his body. He was fond of mirth, fuil of anecdote, witb. a wit bright as llghtning yet never used to destroy. H knew Nature well, not alone frora books, but from hls owu fine perceptlons and habita ofthoughtful observatlon. His house la which he llved 46 years, and whlch was burnedjust a yearbefore nis deatli, was a llttle out of the city, and he traveled many thousauds of miles back and forth over the familiar road, year ín and out, on hls round of dally dutles. Yet, he sald, he uever went that routine path without seeing something new, somelhing interestlng. He. never liarmed in thought or deed the humblest of Uod's creatures. He was an eager reader, and never lost hls interest in the active iiffalrs of the world. His best energles were glven to the education of Uis chlldren, and he spared nothing for their advancement. He had the happy power of making the slmplest duty an attractlve thing.' The thought of death was by no meaos unfamiliar or unwelcome. He said, "To me. death is only the opening of a door." In hts lastsickneas thero was much sufl'erlng, yet, as wlth the patience of his entire lile, lt was all borne with meekness and without complaint. Hls chlldren survive him- Duane Doty, of Pullman; Mrs. Helen D. Compton and Mrs. Clara I). Bates, of Chicago ; Miss Ellza Doty and Mrs. Charlotte D. Flnley, of thiaclty. Onto fairectiou and reverence for him they could never go far lrom him, nor stay loni; away without seeing him, and they were all present at his funeral. ?
