Contributor: Jean Wilson (48841367) • [email protected] From Nevada Evening Journal June 20, 1949 (page 3) Last Rites For Dorothy E. Dutton Held Wednesday The family home at 1204 avenue "Evergreen Lane", was filled with sorrowing relatives and friends Wednesday afternoon, at 2:30, in attendance at the last rites of Miss Dorothy Dutton, whose death on Monday morning at 7:40 followed an illness of several months. Rev. C. E. Lookingbill officiated at the funeral services. Many beautiful flowers surrounded the bier. The casket bearers were LuVerne, Lester, Merwin and Virgil Brooks, Virgil Lee, and Herschel Wycoff. Relatives and friends from out of town were from Perry, Grand Junction, Ames, Cedar Falls and Marshalltown. Burial was in the family lot of the Nevada cemetery. The following obituary, which had been prepared by the mother of the deceased was read at the funeral service by Rev. Lookingbill. Dorothy Estelle Dutton It is like the lovely flowers that come and go--so was the brief but beautiful life of Dorothy Estelle Dutton; only daughter of Mrs. Jay G. Dutton and the late Mr. Dutton, well-known banker; and sister of Orson B. Dutton IV. June, the month of roses had always been her favorite; she considered June second her birthday which she celebrated accordingly. God chose her favorite month, the time of roses, in which to take her. She entered this life on Christmas Eve in Perry, Iowa; 1893. When she was three and a half years old her parent moved to the maternal ancestoral home in Nevada which at that time was known as Briggs' Terrace, later to be called Evergreen Lane. The following years she made full of love and happiness for her family, as well as being deeply loved by her many friends both here and elsewhere. She was possessed of a charming personality. Her ready smile and sweet greeting always meant more than just "Good morning," for her face was illuminated from the spirit of Christianity that was deep within her heart. It was beautiful to see the care and love which she had for her mother. She was truly gifted at art, vocal and instrumental music. She lived in Mrs. Gove's Select School for Young Ladies while attending and graduating from the Northwestern University School of Music with a double degree in piano and vocal. Wishing to continue her study, she enrolled at the New England Conservatory of Music, in Boston, Massachusetts. She continued there in piano and voice, also perfecting her knowledge of French, Italian, and Spanish and sang beautifully in all four languages. Among collectors of the South she was noted for her extensive and varied collections. Every moment of her life was spent in trying to improve her mind; hoping thereby to give enjoyment to her many friends. In her youth she contributed gladly as organist in many churches here and elsewhere, also lending her voice whenever requested. She often sang with the choruses in opera in Chicago as a member of the Northwestern Glee Club. With this organization she visited hospitals, Hull House, and many public institutions, giving happiness to the people there. During the past thirty years, traveling extensively, yet stopping wherever available to perfect her art, she maintained a suite of rooms in the Hotel New Orleans, New Orleans, Louisiana, where she lived with her mother during the months from October until May. They always returned joyously to their home in Nevada for the summer months. She had been seriously ill about six years with diabetes and complications. At the time of her passing on she belonged to the following organizations: The Orleans Club, New Orleans, La.; The New Orleans Philatelic Society; the New Orleans Opera Guild and Association; The New Olreans Symphony Society; The Collectors Club of New York city, New York; The Daughters of the American Revolution, Abigail Adams Chapter; The Art Association of New Orleans. In her few active years she was surrounded by plenty, and her later years she enjoyed the blessings of wealth. In this situation her attitude was never selfish, but she wished others to have the same enjoyments of life that she had. She was a good and admirable woman and will be deeply mourned.
