Aged Resident Called by Death

At the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. C. Patterson, yesterday morning about 3
o'clock, Mrs. Lucius Doble for the past twenty-five years a resident of Cowlitz
county succumbed to the enfeebling effects of old age after a short illness.
Mrs. Doble had been an invalid for many years and it had been known for sometime
that the end was steadily drawing nearer.  For the past ten years she has made
her home with her children in this city, and leaves besides her seven children,
a large number of grandchildren and more distant relatives to mourn her loss.

Jemima Knight was born in Oxford County, Maine, December 23rd, 1831, and passed
away November 19th, 1915, aged 83 years, 10 months and 26 days.  At her home in
Maine she was married September 7, 1851, to Lucius Doble, and for a period of
nearly fifty-five years the couple spent a happy and contented married life
together.  Mr. Doble died February 7, 1906, at the age of 82 years and 6 months.
The greater part of their life was spent in the east and it was not until 1891
that the Doble family turned their faces to the west and arrived on the Coast,
settling at Carrolls.  They have been joined here by nearly all their children
until a large family circle has been created.  She was affectionately known as
"Grandma" Doble by nearly all residents of Carrolls, Mt. Pleasant and this
vicinity.  

She is survived by seven children, L. A. Doble of Irrigon, Oregon, who arrived
Tuesday for a visit with his mother; A. L. Doble of Eltopia, Wash; Ernest Doble
and Mrs. E. E. Griswold of Mt. Pleasant and Mrs. J. C. Patton, Mrs. W. C.
Patterson and Mrs. George A. Poland of this place.  Also by many grandchildren
and other relatives.  Funeral services will be conducted tomorrow afternoon from
the Christian Church, of which deceased has been a life-long member, by Rev.
David Norcross.  Interment will be made in the family plot in the I. O. O. F.
cemetery.
