• Notes

  LATE MRS. O. G. DOBBS SHE PASSED AWAY THURS DAY AT BROCKVILLE. She Was Daughter of the Late Dr. H. A. Betts of Portsmouth- Had Endeared Herself to All Her Acquaintances. Brockville Recorder. Many homes were thrown into sorow Thursday night when announcement was made of the death of Mrs. Dobbs, wife of Rev. Rural Dean O. G. Dobbs, rector of St. Paul's church. The end came peacefully at the rectory, Victoria avenue, shortly after five o'clock. The deceased had been ill since last autumn with an affection of the heart which gradually grew worse, though at times she appeared to recover her lost strength, but her relatives had been advised that her passing might occur very quickly Wednesday morning she appeared about the same, but during the after noon a change set in with fatal result. The late Mrs. Dobbs was Miss Amy Caroline, fifth daughter of the late Dr. Henry Augusta Betts, of Portsmouth, near Kingston, in his life time a well known medical practitioner. Her younger days were spent in Kingston until her marriage to Rev. Mr. Dobbs in 1881, when they went to Wyebridge. From there the reverend gentleman and his life partner moved to St. John, N.R, where the former became curate of Stone church. Later they removed to Carleton, N.B., and in 1890 came to Brockville when Rev. Mr. Dobbs was called to the rectership of St. Paul's. Since that time Mrs. Dobbs had been a continuous resident of the Island City and formed many acquaintances who will cherish nothing but the kindest and pleasantest recollections of one who at all times was a kind and true friend, The late Mrs. Dobbs was a lady possessing the highest Christian virtues, one who endeared herself to all acquaintances. She was heartily associated with her husband in the welfare of the congregation of St. Paul's and by them she will be greatly missed. Her charity was not confined to the congregation over which her husband is rector, but in an unostentatious manner she went about doing good, her kindly acts being spread in all quarters Besides her bereaved husband deceased is survived by two brothers and two sisters, namely: Mr. H. A. Betts, Kingston: Mr. F. P. Betts, barrister, London: Mrs. Walkem, wife of J. B. Walkem, barrister, Kingston, and Maud Betts, Kingston.
