OLDEST SETTLER
PASSES AWAY
John Dobson, of Deloit, Who Came to
Crawford County in 1852, Is
Called Home.
HE BUILT THE FIRST MILL HERE
Interesting Career of Good Man, Final
ly Ended by Dsease-FuneraI
Held Monday Last.

1t Is with deep regret that it be
comes the duty of The Review this
week to chronicle the death of Craw
ford county's Oldest settler, John
Dobson, who departed this life at his
home in Deloit on Saturday morning
October 21st, after a lingering illness
He has been afflicted for the past
year with tumor of the stomach
which hastened his departure from
this life.
John Dobson was born in Tazewen
county, Illinois, December 21, 1884
being at the time of his death 76 years
and 10 months of age His ancestry
can be traced back to Roger Dobson,
who was born in England in 1888 and
died in 1867. Ha-was one Of family
of eleven children and was the only
surviving member OF this family. John
and his brother, Thomas, were closely
identified with the early history and
development of Crawford county. In
April 1852, they. with their father,
Benjamin Dobson, came to Crawford
county, settling at Mason's Grove,
just east of the present site Of De.
lott, and there built the first saw mill,
which WAS 1ater converted into flour
and. grist mill and was operated by
them for eighteen years. They en-
dured many hardships during their
pioneer days, being compelled to make
many trips to Council Bluffs hauling
merchandise from there, as that was
the nearest trading point. The ground
was broken and their first farming
done with teams of oxen on the pres
ent site Of the town OF Deloit, which
town they named.
The early school training of John
Dobson was obtained under great diff
culties, for in those days educational
facilities were exceedingly limited He
