DAWSON, pioneer citizen and retired drug store owner, suffered a fatal heart attack shortly after one o'clock this afternoon while he was talking with his daughter, Mrs. Guy BARR, in the customer's room at the First National Bank. Mrs. Barr stated death came instantaneously and prior to the heart attack her father was apparently enjoying his usual fair health. It was stated, however, that Mr. Dawson's physician had warned him some time ago, that he was afflicted with a serious heart ailment. Inasmuch as both Mrs. Dawson and Mrs. Barr were so severely shocked by the sudden passing of Mr. Dawson, the complete obituary of the deceased's life was not available as this issue of The News-Sentinel went to press. The obituary will be carried in Wednesday's edition. ----- Published in The Rochester News-Sentinel Wednesday, April 1, 1942 Funeral services for George V. DAWSON, 77, prominent retired business man of this city, will be held Thursday afternoon, three o'clock, at his home, 214 West Ninth street. The Rev. Harry BAILEY, pastor of the First Baptist church will officiate and interment will be made in the Dawson family lot in the I.O.O.F. cemetery. Mr. Dawson suffered a fatal heart attack at one o'clock Tuesday afternoon while he and his daughter, Mrs. Guy BARR, were conversing in the customer's room at the First National bank. Death, which came almost instantaneously, was attributed to coronary thrombosis. Mr. Dawson had been suffering from a heart ailment for the past several months, however, he had not been bedfast at any time and prior to the fatal attack he appeared to be enjoying good health. * * * * Photo * * * * The deceased, who was one of the most widely known business men in this community, retired from 54 years of active ownership in the drug store business in 1938. In that year he sold his interests in the DAWSON & COPLEN Pharmacy, situated on the southwest corner of Main and Eighth streets to the firm of COPLEN & SHAFER. This veteran merchant began his business career in his father's drug store, while he was still attending the Rochester schools, later he graduated from a pharmaceutical course at Michigan University, Ann Arbor, Mich., and became a partner in the business. Following his father's retirement from business Mr. Dawson formed a partnership with Nelson RICHTER in 1898. The firm operated as a partnership until 1905 when Mr. Dawson and family moved to the west and engaged in the drug business in San Francisco and San Luis Obispo, Calif. Following the earthquake the Dawsons returned to Rochester and re-entered business, purchasing the Richter interests. In 1920 a partnership was formed with Gene COPLEN and the firm was operated as Dawson & Coplen's drug store until the senior partner's retirement in 1938. Mr. and Mrs. Dawson celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary last October 7th, 1941, in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank ENSIGN, of Boise, Idaho. The trip to the western state was made via auto with Mr. Dawson doing the driving and thoroughly enjoying the somewhat lengthy journey. George Vernon, son of Jonathan and Isabelle (KING) DAWSON, was born September 9th, 1864, in Rochester, in the property now owned by Dr. SPARKS, 200 West Ninth street. In a ceremony solemnized at the home of Dr. and Mrs. S. P. DRAYER in Dayton, Ohio, on October 7th, 1886, Mr. Dawson was united in marriage with Miss Effie CAMPBELL. Mrs. Drayer was a sister of the bride. Mr. and Mrs. Dawson then took up their residency in this city where with the exception of the few years spent in California they have since resided. Mr. Dawson was a member of the Fulton county council, serving several terms in that capacity. The deceased was of the Republican faith and was an ardent worker in the activities of that political organization. The survivors are the wodow; a daughter, Mrs. Mary BARR, both of this city; two granddaughters, Mrs. F. L. TIPMORE, of Elkhart, Ind.; Mrs. Fred ENSIGN, of Boise, Idaho; two great-grandchildren, Richard Barr [ENSIGN] and Carol Ann ENSIGN, of Boise, Idaho; and several nieces and a nephew. The body was removed from the Val Zimmerman funeral home to the Dawson residence Wednesday morning where friends of the family may call up until the hour of the service.
