Picture from the Butte Daily Post, 
Butte, MT - 2/9/1901

 

 Col. P. R. Dolman, present member of the Idaho state senate, died at Colorado Springs, Col., Monday, July 11, at 2 p.m.  He had been ill for a year and spent the winter in San Antonio, Texas, with his wife, Mrs. Effie C. Dolman, daughter of the late Wm. Carroll, and his daughter Martha.  He visited Louisiana two weeks ago on his way to Butte, Mont, and Idaho.  The altitude of Butte having a disastrous effect he hastened to Colorado Springs three days before his death.  Col. Dolman was born in Zanesville, Ohio, November 1835.  When a boy he moved to St. Louis where he was reared.  From Chariton county at the beginning of the civil war, he raised a volunteer company of which he was afterward made colonel.  In 1872 he was a member of the Missouri legislature.  Following this came his marriage with Miss Helen M. Carroll, daughter of the late Hon. Thomas M. Carroll and Martha W. Carroll, and of this union three children survive.  They are Carroll G. Dolman of Weiser, Idaho, Thomas B. Dolman of Butte, Mont, and Martha Dolman.

   In the early 80s they moved to Butte, Mont, where, in 1895, Mrs. Dolman died.  There he led an active public life, at one time as a member of the city council of Butte, in the legislature in 1889, and as president of the board of the Soldiers’ home of Montana.  He was a Mason of the 32nd degree.  Col. Dolman was a man of untiring energy and unswerving nobility of purpose, not only trusted but loved, and he died as he lived—a Christian.

   The remains arrived here on the Alton Wednesday morning and were taken to the residence of T. J. Alley on North Fourth street and from there were taken to the home of Mrs. Martha Carroll at Hillside where the funeral will take place Thursday at 10 o’clock, a.m. and the interment will take place at Grassy Creek cemetery.

“TAPS’ FOR MAYOR DOUD

OLD WAR VETERAN KILLED
BY SMALL TACK

 WAS ONCE QUITE WEALTHY

 But the Chicago fire swept away his possessions, leaving him to commence
life over again—Lincoln post
will bury his body.

    Maj. LeRoy Doud died at the county hospital about 6 o’clock yesterday evening as the result of blood poisoning caused by the prick of a tack three weeks ago and his body is now at Richards’ undertaking parlors, where it will remain until consigned to the grave by Lincoln post, Grand Army of the Republic, of which the major was a member. The time for the funeral had not been decided upon up to a late hour last night.

  Major Doud was 77 years of age and a veteran of the civil war, having served four years in the Thirty-ninth Illinois infantry.  He entered the army as a private, but by strict attention to business soon climbed to the rank of major, which he held until he mustered out at the end of the struggle between the North and South.  He participated in several important battles, among which was Shiloh, and although subjected to a rain of bullets many times, he escaped injury. At the close of the war he had considerable money, which he invested in Chicago real estate.  The property increased in value and the major was prosperous, but the great fire in that city in the early ‘70s swept away everything he possessed, leaving him as poor as when he first began the struggle for existence in the state of New York his native stamping ground.  Shortly after the fire he and his wife separated and the major came West to retrieve his lost fortune.  He first went to Colorado, but soon tired of that and drifted into New Mexico, where he remained several years. From there he went to Salt Lake and stayed there until 1885, when he came to Butte.  He followed various occupations in this city, but his chief source of earning living was through his knowledge of paper-hanging and painting.  

Kneels Upon a Small Tack

   About three weeks ago the major was doing some work in a house and had occasion to drop to one of his knees in order to get at a particular spot.  In so doing he ran a small tack in his right knee just below the cap. The injury was of no particular consequence at the time, but a few days later the spot became inflamed and sore. It continued to grow worse and a doctor was called to look at it. The physician discovered at a glance that blood poisoning had set in and ordered the major’s removal to a hospital. The sufferer was accordingly sent to the county institution, where he received treatment, but his condition continued to grow worse until death relieved his sufferings at the hour stated.

   When it became known that blood poison had set in and that serious results might follow, the major gave R. G. Huston of the real estate firm of Huston & Elderkin, and also member of the grand army, the address of his son and Mr. Huston wrote the son a letter telling him of his father’s condition. The son is supposed to be in San Antonio, Tex., but has not yet answered the letter and the supposition is he did not receive it. Outside of the son the major has no relatives in the West.
