Amidst gayety attending a birthday anniversary party, given in honor of Mrs. Jessie Lamb, given at her house in Hoquiam, Wash., Wed. evening, Jan. 14 [1920], Mrs. Melvina E. Dole-Lobdell, an old resident of Centralia, died at 9:45 p.m. At the time of her death, Mrs. Lobdell was 90 yrs, 4 months, 14 days old. Grandma Dole, as she was commonly known in Centralia, was of a kind and good disposition, and loved by all who knew her. About twelve guests were assembled in the Lamb home and stories were being exchanged. Grandma Dole Lobdell was never in better spirits and was entertaining the guests in a lively fashion, when she sank down in her chair, dead. She had been very sick for a few days during the cold spell but apparently but had apparently fully recovered. In the more recent years, she had been making her home with her son Frank O. Dole, realty dealer in Aberdeen. The body was taken in charge by the Whiteside Undertaking Co. of Aberdeen. No arrangements have so far been made for the funeral, waiting to hear from two sons in Southern Oregon. Interment will be in accordance with Grandma Dole that she repose in a grave by the side of her late husband, George R. Lobdell who was laid at rest in this city in 1906. Mrs. Lobdell, who celebrated her 90th birthday on the 30th of August last year, was indeed a Pioneer of this Western Territory, having crossed the plains with an ox team with her first husband, S.W. Dole in 1861. She was born in Erie Co., NY and also married there. After crossing the plains, they settled on a homestead in Willamette Valley, Oregon, close to Forest Grove. It was some thirty years ago that the family moved to Centralia. Mrs. Lobdell is survived by three sons: L.E. Dole of Haceta, Lane Co., Oregon; Amos W. Dole of Provolt, Oregon; and Frank O. Dole of Aberdeen, Washington. Frank O. Dole is now in the city making arrangements for his mother's burial here which will be early in the coming week. Announcement will be given in the paper so that any friends of Grandma Dole may review the remains if they care to. Sticklin Undertaking is handling the funeral at this end. (Obit published Jan. 20, 1920; newspaper unknown) Note: Her obit mentions that she will lay in rest beside her husband, George R. Lobdell. However, he is buried in the Pioneer Section of this cemetery. There are 2 cemetery books, one for Pioneer & one for Mountain View and he's listed in one book and she's listed in the other. Hopefully a Findagrave volunteer can clear up exactly where this couple are buried. Thanks to John Peel for the data re their children and her obit.
