DEATH OF MISS DoByKs
RECALLS WAR.
Niece Of Col. Winner, an Ardent
southernsr, Was Banished From
st. Loais-Also = Relative OF
Mr.. Jole Doybns, of this
City.

The death Of Miss Mary f Dobynss
few days ago In Galveston, Texas
serves as q reminder to older citizens
OF ST. Louis Of the stirring times Of the
civil war, during which she was the
center Of . sensational episode which
had lasting influence on her through
ont her life The remains OF Miss
D0yhns were brought TO St Louis and
in the presence Of many old and dis
tnguished friends laid to rest in the
family lot In BelIefuntaine cemetery.
Among those present On this occasion
was Rev. William Dobyns Of st. 10
seph, No. . relative Of the family.
Miss Mary L DobYns was the dan.
ghter Of Maj. Edward Dobyns, who
came to St Louis from Lexington.
KY, when 1t was a small French
village. He become prominent and
wealthy here, and bis mansion at
Twelfth and brooklyn streets, together
with the spacious grounds surround
Ing 1t, formed . striking feature Of
early st. Louis. Many facts concern
ing Miss Dobyns are related by Mrs.
W. o. Gibson, who was q cousin, her
mother being a sister OF Maj. Dobyns.
About the beginning Of the civil war
Miss Dobyns-knosn by her friends as
Mollie-was the recognized belle Of
Of St Louis her beauty and accom-
plishments making her universally
popular.
One OF the tragedies Of the war was
the killing OF Col. John NJ. Winner,
formerly mayor Of St Louis, who had
gone into the confederate army. His
remains we're brought 10 81. Louis
and taken to the home In North st.
Louis. An immense concourse OF
people assembled for the funeral, and
as feeling in the city ran high, at the
time. u was considered advisable by
the provost marshall 10 charge of the
federal district to disperse the crowds
and enforce q quite mterment OF the
body. Col. Winner was an uncle OF
Miss Dobyns, and she, being present
ON the occasion, and an ardent
southern sympathizer, expressed her
self 50 forcibiy that che was arrested.
Subsequently she was ordered away
and eventually sent to Toronto, Can
ada, where she spent several years.
The feeling engendered BY these
events was such that the Dobyns
family were never content in st.
Louis again. Maj. Dobyns went TO
Kentucky, afterwards 70 Mexico Mo-,
where be died. He was buried In
Bellefontaine, where his daughter
also now rests. Miss Mary, although
periodically visiting st. Louis, has
spent her life away from here. She
lived four years in Portland, Ore.
going from there 70 California, thence
to Galveston, where she died.
