was almost served, Leroy way
laid the warden.

The request was, to say the

Wendell Dobney.
Dean" Of Negro
Journalists, Dies

Cincinnati, .. - lamp -
Funeral services were conducted
on Monday, June 9 at st. An
drews Episcopal church here for
Wendell Phillips Dabney, colorful,
versatile, SO year old Grand Old
Man" of Negro journalism.
He died at a hospital here
Tuesday night, June 3, following
a short illness.
Dabney succumbed to complica-
lions produced by an ulcer. He
had been in a coma for about a
month, but had improved to such
an extent that doctors at the hos
pital had informed his relatives
three days before his death that
he would be able to leave the
hospital and return home on
Thursday, June 5. However, the
aged Dabney suffered a relapse
and died just three hours after
the doctors had informed his rela-
tives that he would be allowed to
leave the hospital.
Born in Richmond, Va, in the
closing year of the Civil War,
Dabney became a writer, must
clan, politician, composer, his
torian and editor for nearly 40
years of Cincinnati's one-man
weekly newspaper, The Union, a
unique journalistic venture. His
death closes one of the most
colorful chapters in Negro
journalism. The Union was char
acterized by its witty and poig-
nant editorial style.
After being graduated from the
Richmond high school in 1888,
Dabney went to Oberlin college
for a year, taught school at
Richmond for eight years, and
then conducted his own music
studio in Boston for several
years.
He came to Cincinnati in 1894
to manage a hotel, the Dumas
House. which was started by his
uncle who had died that year. He
remained there until his death.
He opened the first colored
gymnasium in the hotel where
such fighters as Joe Cans, Kid
Ashe, Bon Armstrong and many
others trained.
Dabney later ventured into the
music field and organized a
mixed colored and white OrChcs-
ira. He became a music teacher.
Among his pupils were members
of such noted families as the
Fleischmann. Mcdonald, Wtborg
and others. He also taught the
two Stallo daughters, both of
whom later married European
princes.
Often the center for prominent
Republican party political rallies,
the Dumas house later was sold
to the president of the Western
and Southern Life Insurance COM
pany.
OF all the positions which he
held. Dabncy perhaps liked the
head paymastership Of Cincinnati
best. While serving as paymaster,
he estimated that he had paid out
about $SO,OOOOOO.
Dabney's reputation as YER
satile person spread throughout
the country. He had been the sub
ject of many articles by such not
ed persons as Langston Hughes,
poet: and the Rev. Adam Clayton
Powell. representative 3D. N.Y.
The walls of Dabney's office
are covered with photographs of
outstanding Negroes who Were
his friends, Among them are:
Paul Lawrence Dunbar, poet:
