| 2951 | Obituary – Caskey Mabel Pauline Braum, daughter of Bently McLeod and Berth McDonald Braum, was born in Denison, Kansas, February 9, 1900, and died at the home of her parents in Denison, Kansas at the age of 42 years, 7 months, and 8 days. As a child she attended the schools of her community, graduated from Denison Rural High School in 1918, and afterward she attended Washburn College in Topeka and the Biblical Seminary of New York. At the age of twelve she united with the Denison Reformed Presbyterian church under the ministry of the Rev. D.H. Elliott and was always active in church work. She taught school successfully at Cedar Center, Adrian, and in Seneca, Kansas, grade schools. On May 28, 1924, she was united in marriage to the Rev. Cloyd Erskine Caskey of Sterling, Kansas, and worked with him a short time at the Cache Creek Indian Mission of the Reformed Presbyterian Church in Apache, Oklahoma. After a course in Bible School she went with her husband as a missionary to the Island of Cyprus in the Eastern Mediterranean, arriving there on February 14, 1925, and continued in that work for a little over fourteen years. Her missionary work was many sided and included teaching in the American Academy for Girls in Nicosia, Cyprus. On account of the war in the Near East it was not possible to return to Cyprus and she and her husband took up work in Eskridge, Kansas, and then in Blanchard, Iowa, her home at the time of her death. She was the mother of three sons, Joseph McLeod, Kenneth Cloyd, and Carroll Edwin, who survive here and one daughter, who died in infancy. Besides her three sons, she leaves her husband, her parents, one brother, Hugh Braum, of Topeka, Kansas, and two sisters, Mrs. Ruth King of Denison, Kansas, and Mrs. Mary Longnecker of Birmingham, Kansas, who mourn her death, and feel as do many others, that life can never be quite the same without her. Funeral was held Monday, September 21, in the R.P. church with Rev. T.M. Hutcheson in charge, assisted by the Rev. Taggart, Rev. A.J. McFarland and Rev. Paul McCracken of Topeka and Rev. D. Howard Elliott of Winchester. Burial was in the North Denison cemetery. – Valley Falls Vindicator. The Winchester Star, Winchester, Kansas. Friday, 9 October 1942. | Braum, Mabel Pauline (I533)

| 2953 | Obituary. Margaret McCullom was born in County Antrim, Ireland, on April 4, 1836. She was married to Isaac Shields September 17, 1857. They came to America in 1860, and located in Baltimore, Md. From Baltimore, they moved to Iowa. They came to Oklahoma seven years ago and located near Perry. She peacefully passed out of the present on Saturday May 9, 1903. She leaves her beloved husband, five daughters and two sons and twenty-seven grand children to mourn her loss. All the children and fifteen of her grand children were present at the last. Mrs. Shields united with the Presbyterian church at the age of eighteen. Her life was spent in the service of her Master. She was a faithful and consistent member of the Presbyterian church to the end. Her life stands as a grand testimony for rightousness. Twenty-two years ago her husband was afflicted with partial paralysis, and for two years she had to feed him with a spoon and all these years she has faithfully ministered unto his wants. She is now at rest with her Lord; we are sometimes in doubt whether or not our friends have made a good exchange of worlds, but in Margaret Shields there is no room for doubt. The funeral services on Monday were conducted by Rev. J.A. B. Oglevee who had been her pastor for six years at Perry. A large number of sympathizing friends attended these last sad rites.

It is with deep sadness to announce the passing on of a dear gentle man, father, son husband, and friend. Orville J. Dochterman (Doc) was born on May 7, 1920 to Chester Orville and Daisy Sylvia Kay Dochterman in Fort Madison, Iowa and later became the big brother to Marjorie Marie Elifriz. The family moved to Burlington, Iowa in the mid 1920s. When he was nine years old he began spending summers on his grandparents, Frank and Mary Belle Anthony Dochterman farm near Ashton, Missouri. Using mules to till the land, it was there he learned the hard work of a farmer and the determination needed to help survive the "Great Depression." During his stay on the farm he learned to be a master gardener, skills which in later life were used to feed his large family. He started his school years at the old Salter School and was in the first graduating class of the Horace Mann Junior High School, where he put his name along with some of his buddies in the crawl space near the furnace in the basement. By 1936, the "Great Depression" had affected his home life as it did all over this nation. While attending high school, he was forced to work full time at the glove factory to help support his family. He graduated from Burlington High School in 1938, lettering in football and track. On January 21, 1940, he married his high school sweetheart, Catherine "Katie" Louise Daly, daughter of Michael and Rose Daly, in Kirksville, Missouri. Prior to the start of World War II, he was employed at the CB&Q Railroad at the West Burlington Shops. In 1944 as a father of two, "Doc" was drafted into the Navy Serving as a Moto Machinist Mate in the Pacific Theater onboard the USS Santa Fe. He was awarded the World War II, American Campaign, and Asiatic Pacific and Japan Occupation medals. His ship was awarded a Presidential Unit Citation for the assistance for the sinking of the USS Franklin while under kamikaze attach during combat operations off the coast of Japan. At the end of World War II he was discharged, returned to Burlington, Iowa to his family and his job at the CB&Q Railroad as a machinist for the next 40 years, retiring in 1980. He enjoyed his weekly bowling league and in 1959/60 won the city league championship. He was a life long member of the IAM/Aerospace union serving as treasure of his local for many years. Catherine "Katie" Daly Dochterman passed away May 22, 1976. On October 2, 1976, Orville married Phila Davis Dawson and they spent 27 years together volunteering for the state of Iowa VIP program. They volunteered 3350 hours until Phila passed away in September 25, 2003. He was preceded in death by his wives, Catherine and Phila, his parents, his sister, son-in-law, Larry Jones, step son-in-law Don Schulz; brothers-in-law, William Daly, Floyd Griffith, Robert Barton, and William Cahill; and sisters-in-law Elizabeth Griffith, Joyce Daly and Eva Daly. Orville lived his life as a believer in Jesus Christ as his savior. We will always remember and be grateful that we were part of his life. As he would say, "there is nothing more important than believing that Jesus Christ is your Savior." He would repeat again and again, "there is nothing that matters more than your Salvation." | Dochterman, Orville J. (I666)

| 2982 | P.B. Molloy was born in Tazwell Co. Va. Feb. 16, 1838, died Nov. 25, 1910. His ancestors were among the early settlers of that state. His father emigrated to Mo. in 1840 and settled in Linn County where the subject of this sketch was reared. His boyhood was present in those hearty pioneer pursuits characteristic of that peculiar period of Missouri's development. He did not have the opportunities offered by the free school system of today and he had reached the age of 20 years before he learned to read. At that age he was seized with an irresistible desire to secure an education, and at odd times and spare moments he soon mastered the necessary elements. Being possessed of a strong analytic mind he turned his attention to law and literature. He ran swiftly in the ways of knowledge, and in 1872 was admitted to the Linn Co. Bar as a practicing attorney. He was married to Mary J. Phillips of Linn Co. Mo. Oct. 28, 1858. Of this union ten children were born, five boys and five girls all of whom survive him, Millie Gooch, Agra, Oklahoma, J.D. Molloy, Chula Mo., W.L. Molloy, Ripley Oklahoma, A.F. Molloy Alpha Mo., Mrs. G.M. Hayes, Agra, Okla., O.S. Molloy, Hitchita, Okla., F. P. Molloy, Reasons, Okla., Mrs. N.M. Stanley, Agra Okla., Mrs. J. Grindstaff, Glencoe, Okla., and Mrs. B.L. Mattocks, Agra, Okla. his wife having died May 21, 1897. He emigrated to Oklahoma in November 1891 and settled 1 1/2 mi. north-west of Agra and has resided in this county since that date. In his prime he was a physical giant, possessed a fearless disposition and in his relation with his fellow man was most amiable, frank and open hearted, sympathizing always with the poor oppressed, or distressed, and much of his time and means have been given freely for the benefit of those whom he deemed worthy of this the highest office of the citizen. As a father his influence was always for the upbuilding of his family, both morally ad intellectually. He was greatly beloved by his children, and his passing leaves a sorrow deep and solemn, but 'tis not a hopeless sorrow, for as we are assured "That in as much as ye did it unto me, " We feel that his life, his aims, and his desires will meet with the commendation of his Creator and that mankind would be infinitely benefitted in the emulation of his many virtues. "It is not death to die To leave this weary road And midst the brotherhood on high to be at home with God It is not death to fling Aside this sinful dust And rise on strong exulting wings to live among the just. He was laid to rest in the Oak Dale Cemetery. Queen City Times, Agra, Oklahoma. Thursday, 9 December 1910, page 10. | Molloy, Powhattan Bolen (I156)
