DEATH OF MR. O. M. 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.
