Nancy, Thank you for responding. Yes, that is my Albert William Doss. He is normally referred to as William Doss.

I looked in the Social Security Death Index Search Results and it has William Doss SS# 545-03-5246 CA issue State birth March 25, 1885 death Arp 1972 AZ Phoenix Arizona 85008. Could this be the same Doss you are looking for? The only think his name is William not Albert.. Could that by why you have not found a obituary?

I would like to get a copy of the obituary for Albert William Doss, who died April 1972 (actual day unknown) in Phoenix, Arizona. He was originally from Pittsburg and still had family living there. There is no obit in the Phoenix newspapers -- probably because there was no other family living there. Is there anyone who could check this out for me? Thank you in advance.

P. Norton, president of the Cherokee Commercial Company at Cherokee, is one of the foremost business men of Crawford county, a man of enterprise, industry, ability, and a high degree of public spirit, and during the past quarter of a century during which he has been a resident of the county he has participated actively in the work of general progress and upbuilding throughout this section of southeastern Kansas. The business firm of which he is the head is a notably reliable and commercially sound company, and their business is extensive throughout the town and country about Cherokee. Lewis Schwab is the general manager and treasurer of the firm, and its other members are J. G. Schwab and M. C. Bolick. It is one of the pioneer general merchandise houses at Cherokee. Mr. Norton, who has been in this business in Cherokee since 1893, and who took up his permanent abode in Crawford county in 1880, was born in Allegany county, New York, on the Genesee river, October 21, 1842, being of one of the old families of that section and of English and Scotch descent. The original ancestors were three brothers who came from England and settled on Martha's Vineyard among the first to locate at that place. Mr. Norton's parents were Leonard and Margaret (Carr) Norton, both native New Yorkers. The mother's father was a Revolutionary soldier, and, being captured at the Wyoming Massacre, was held prisoner by the Indians for seven years before his final release. Leonard Norton, who died at the advanced age of eighty-four years, was a farmer by occupation, a Republican in politics and a member of the Presbyterian church; his good wife passed away at the age of seventy-two. Their four children were Charles, of Cherokee; Emma Benard, of Illinois; Alice Shannon,! of McCune, and George P. Mr. Norton was reared on a farm in New York, and his schooling was what he obtained in the public schools and by self-application. The family moved out to Missouri in 1858, and there he learned the carpenter's trade, which he followed very successfully for many years, and many buildings at Cherokee and in Crawford county show evidence of his skill and fine handicraft. In 1861 he joined the Missouri State Militia and Home Guards, and at the beginning of 1863 he became a member of Company F, Eighteenth Illinois Infantry, under Colonel Webber and Captain H. H. Benner. During his eighteen months' service he was at Little Rock, Arkansas, and at various Louisiana points. After the war he settled in McDonough county, Illinois, and, as above stated, came out to Crawford county in 1880. In McDonough county he was married to Miss Nancy J. McClure, who was born, reared and educated in that county, and they have worked together for what they have gained of the world's material comforts and are highly esteemed members of Crawford county society. They had one daughter, Viola, who was the wife of Robert A. Bolick, cashier of the Cherokee Bank. She died November 28, 1904. Mr. Norton has long taken an active interest in educational affairs, and is now president of the local school board. He is a Republican in politics, and has for years served as quartermaster of Shiloh Post No. 56, G. A. R. He is an elder in the Presbyterian church. There follows the obituary notice of Mr. Norton's lately deceased daughter: Died at her home in this city Monday, November 28, 1904, Viola, beloved wife of Robert A. Bolick, and daughter of G. P. and Nannie Norton, aged 37 years and 22 days. Services were conducted by Rev. E. W. Beason, of Pleasanton, Kansas, at the Presbyterian church, in this city, of which the deceased was a member, after which interment was made in the Cherokee cemetery. A husband and five children are left to mourn the loss of a devoted wife and a kind and loving mother, but their loss is her eternal gain, leaving in this world the evidence of triumphant faith, passing peacefully to her eternal home, without fear, relying in Him who has gone to prepare a place for you. Viola May Norton was born in McDonough county, Illinois, November 6, 1867. She removed with her parents to Cherokee county, Kansas, in the fall of 1880, and has since resided in the near locality. She was married to Robert A. Bolick December 15, 1887. To this union were born five children all of whom are living. She united with the Presbyterian church when about twenty years of age, and has been a consistent member thereof until her death, November 28, 1904.

Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.kansas.counties.crawford/940.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Actually, according to the transcriptions of the tombstones at Mt. Olive Cemetery, there are at least six other Wettsteins buried there. The 1900 census shows Henry Wettstein (b. abt 1864), a widower, with his four children, Henry (b. abt 1887), Olefina, Rosa, and John, living in Cherokee Twp., Cherokee Co., KS. The 1910 census shows Henry (b. abt 1864) living in Baker Twp., Crawford Co., KS with his wife "Allie" (Ella Wilcox) and sons John, Lee, Joe, and Richard. The 1910 census shows the son, Henry (b. abt 1887) also living in Baker Twp. with his wife Mary and daughter Hellen (five months old). The census indicates that Mary was the mother of only one child, so Henry (b. abt 1887) was probably not the father of Henry with the 1910 tombstone, and none of the other sons were yet married. If you put the name of Henry Wettstein in the search boxes at RootsWeb and pull up the submissions that come up for WorldConnect, you will find two submissions by "ruby red" (look in the right column). The entries there seem to be very well documented and give the information that Henry (b. abt 1864) died in 1950 and is buried in Pueblo, Colorado while his son Henry (b. abt 1887) died 28 Dec 1967 and is buried in Mt. Olive Cemetery. This 1967 date agrees with the date listed in the book "Tombstone Transcriptions of All Known Cemeteries in Crawford County, Kansas" by William C. Cuthbertson (Henry R. 1887-1967); however, the Social Security Death Index indicates Henry was born 7 Feb 1887 and died Nov 1986 (at almost 100 years of age!). The Social Security Death Index also lists another Henry Wettstein who lived in Crawford Co., KS. This one was born 26 Nov 1912 and died 2 Feb 2006. Surely the Henry whose tombstone only gives his name and the date Oct 2 1910 was related to this family. I noticed that the same person who made the "ruby red" submissions to WorldConnect also made a "post-em" note to another WorldConnect entry in which she stated that Henry (b. abt 1864)'s marriage license showed his father to also be named Henry Wettstein. Could it be that the Henry with the 1910 date on his tombstone was the father of the Henry born about 1864?
