The Palmyra Spectator, Palmyra, Missouri, 03 Sep 1896, Thu • Page 5, Column 5 (Contributed by Shelby County Historical Society & Museum) ~~~~~~~ OBITUARY: Such were the words, which fell from the lips of many of our citizens last Monday morning. Too true it was that Mr. Thomas W. Dobyns had fallen to sleep about 1 o'clock the night previous, at the age of 88. He was a native of Richmond County Virginia. In 1833 he was married to Miss Ann C. T. Durrett. For two years after this marriage he was engaged in merchandising. In 1835 he moved to this state, settling in Marion County. Here he became a prominent farmer and stock raiser. On April 7, 1862 his wife died and was buried at the family burying grounds where now rests the subject of this sketch. He later moved to Indiana and re-engaged in merchandising. In 1864 he was married to Miss Lyda Gynn. Ten children were the fruits of the union of Mr. Dobyns and his first wife, five of whom are now living. Their names are, William T., George, of Almota, California, John of Kansas City, Mrs. Virginia Cotton and Mrs. E. D. Hoselton of this city. Deceased was a man of kind amiable disposition whose influence and example in life will live on long after the form has molded into dust. Peace to his ashes.
