DORSETT. Mr. Orren Dorsett, an old Confeder ate soldier, died at his home near Antioch Christian church, on Cumnock route 3, last Friday night, aged 79 years. Funeral.services were held over the remains at Antioch and he was laid to rest in the cemetery there. Mr. Dorsett was married twice, his first wife was a Miss Mclntyre. He is survived by his last wife, who was Miss Elizabeth Dowdy. Bsides his wife he leaves several children, two brothers, William Dor gett, of Hickory Mountain and Heze kiah Dorsett, of Burlington, and one sister, Mrs. Jones, of Burlington. Mr. Dorsett has been a sufferer for several years, and more recently has been confined to his home from acute illness. He was watched by his children and ministered unto by lov ing* hands; all being done that skill and devotion could render, but all to no avail. In the death of this good man, Chatham county loses one of her old time Christian men, one that had full confidence in his fellow man, and was ever ready to befriend one in need, a devoted father, a master of the best interests in life and his good deeds and memory will be an inspiration to follow on after him for the years to come. , __ . Mr. Dorsett joined Antioch Chris tian church more than fifty years ago. ■ He was a deacon in this church and had been superintendent of the Sun day school for 33 years. A large concourse of sorrowing friends attended the funeral services, and he was buried with Masonic hon ; ors of which fraternity he was an honorable member. MR and MRSHARRIS ENTERTAIN.
