                   MRS. ANN DOOLEY
                     DEAD AT ROCK ISLAND
                     
                   OLD SETTLER OF M'LEAN COUNTY
                   
                - Mrs. ANN DOOLEY, relict of the late HENRY W.
                DOOLEY, and herself a pioneer of McLean county,
                died at 7:30 on Saturday morning at the home of
                her son in Rock Island. A general breaking down
                of her physical powers preceded her death.
                   Mrs. DOOLEY celebrated her 80th birthday on
                the 18th of this month. She was a native of
                Kentucky, being born in Montgomery county. Her
                family name was DAVIS. She was married to HENRY
                W. DOOLEY about the year 1851, and at the same
                time they came to this county and settled on a
                farm in Old Town, where they remained until the
                death of Mr. DOOLEY in February, 1894. Shortly
                after this Mrs. DOOLEY went to Rock Island to
                make her home with her sons, both of whom live
                there. They are CLARENCE H., and HENRY L. DOOLEY.
                They are her only surviving children. She lived
                at the home of CLARENCE at her death.
                   Mrs. DOOLEY'S late husband was a member of
                the well known DOOLEY family, which has many
                branches in McLean county. Mrs. DOOLEY leaves
                one brother, living in Oregon. She was a life-
                long member of the Christian church and was a
                woman of exeptionally attractive personality
                and disposition.
