DOZE

This is a newspaper article that appeared in the Greeley (Colorado) Daily Tribune June 9, 1977.
The program was given by Mrs. Delle Hall about her great-great grandfather John Claude Doze and her great grandfather Joseph B. Doze. She, however, had her great-great grandfather’s name wrong, as did many descendants during that time (1977). Many others thought his name was Job Doze. Land, naturalization, cemetery and old letters have confirmed that our French Immigrant’s name was actually John Claude Doze.
Joseph B. Doze was the youngest son of John Claude Doze. Joseph B. Doze was a brother to Victor Doze, Peter Doze, Francis K. Doze, Jacob Doze, Augustus Doze, and Rosannah Doze.
I tried to save it as a word document so I could delete the Dear Abby article, but it came out all mumbled and jumbled. So you have to read it one column at a time which continues on second page and then go back up to the second column, etc.
Gary Doze found this article, sent it to me and I wanted to share it with everyone else.
Hope it comes through okay, if not, I’ll try something else.

Here is a picture of Joseph W. Doze who Doze Lake was named after. He may be in the group picture, too. If so, I think he would be the fourth from the left in the dark suit. I'm going on his eyebrows and long face!
Hope you can open this without any trouble. I printed it off but had to change paper to landscape.

Doze Lake

rec'd this email today from Vicki Doze of Kansas...deb

This lake is along the Alberta-Saskatchewan border in Canada. It is a small lake, but who cares when it was named after a Doze!

Peter Doze was a brother to Victor and Joseph B. Doze.

Gertrude Crofford Doze vs. Peter Doze

Leon Reporter, Leon, Iowa
Thursday, December l2, l90l
GERTRUDE CROFFORD DOZE vs. PETER DOZE. This is a case of December and May, the honeymoon terminating in just one month from the date of their marriage. The parties were married at St. Joe., Mo., on Sept. 11, l901, and lived together as man and wife until Oct. l2, 1901. The marriage created considerable comment at the time as the groom was 77 years old and the bride, l9 years. The plaintiff in her petition alleges the marriage was illegal, and at the time she supposed the defendant was legally capable of entering into a marriage contract. That at the time of said marriage, the defendant, PETER DOZE, was impotent, which fact was unknown to the defendant. That prior to making said marriage contract he represented to her he was worth $50,000 and since said marriage he has stated to her that he was not worth to exceed $5,000, but she is informed he has money and notes to the value of $8,000 to $l0,000, and the only real estate he owns is a claim in Oklahoma worth $500. She asks for a writ of attachment to restrain him from disposing his property, and that she be granted a divorce and temporary alimony in the sum of $500, and permanent alimony in the sum of $3,000. V.R. McGinnis attorney for plaintiff.

harrison county cemeteries

Antioch Cemetery is located in section 30 of Sherman Township, Harrison Co., approximately four miles southeast of Bethany.
From Bethany, go east two miles on highway 136 to the second gravel road to the right (south). Go south two miles to the first gravel road to the right (west). Follow this road less than one mile to the cemetery which is located on the left (south) side of the road.
Antioch Cemetery is one of the oldest cemeteries in central Harrison County and was initially the primary burial ground for residents of the Bethany area. Although the cemetery remains in use and is very well cared for, many of the older stones are down, broken, worn, and unreadable. A stone and plaque at the entrance to the cemetery states: "Antioch Cemetery established 1840s." The church that was associated with the cemetery no longer exists. A history of the Antioch Church states that John and Ellen Foster donated the land on which the cemetery was established. The first church was established as the Christian Church of Antioch, even though no "town" of Antioch actually existed. The first church was a frame structure built in 1841.
This survey was conducted by Phil & Kathi Stewart on May 5, 2003.

Foster Cemetery is located in section 19 of White Oak Township, southwest of New Hampton. From New Hampton, go south on blacktop ZZ approximately one mile to the first gravel road to the right (west). Turn right and go west less than a mile to the cemetery. Foster Cemetery is on land originally owned by John J. Foster and is the primary cemetery for the New Hampton area. It is still in regular use and is very well maintained. A few stones are down, broken, and/or worn, and are now unreadable. This should not be considered a complete list of burials.
Due to its size, the Foster Cemetery will be surveyed in sections. This section is the original (older) section of the cemetery located on the south side of the gravel road

Gray Cemetery is located in section 34 of Trail Creek Township in eastern Harrison County, approximately two miles southwest of Mt Moriah. It is approximately 1/2 mile west of highway 136 and is considered abandoned, is not maintained, and is in very poor condition. This list is compiled from various sources, including old surveys, burial records, and family histories. It should not be considered a complete list of burials.

The Hughes Cemetery is a roughly one-acre plot set aside formally by Hiram "High" Hughes from what was at the time his farm, to be a cemetery open to all. Certainly, the spot was used as a de facto cemetery before that, though; the first burial noted to date was in 1859, before Hiram had migrated to the area and certainly before he first bought land in this area in 1886. The cemetery is located in Section 12, Township 66, Range 26 of Harrison County, one-half mile west of the Mercer-Harrison county line, about 8 miles north of Cainsville, Missouri.
Although the cemetery is located within Harrison County, it can no longer be reached directly from there, as the old road has not been used in far too many years. It can now only be reached from Mercer county, via the road that goes past the old Hiram Hughes farm (now owned by Mike Campbell, a close friend of the family).
Despite the "Hughes Cemetery" name, only three Hughes' are buried there. Hiram and his wife, Sarah Ann (McDonald), are buried with the only "Hughes" headstone; their daughter, Mary, is buried their with her husband, James Seymour. Hiram and Sarah's son and only other child, John Wesley Hughes, is buried with his wife, Etta, in Freedom Cemetery, near Saline, Missouri.
The current trustee of the cemetery is Mr. Victor Seymour (RR 1, Cainsville, Missouri 64632). He has explained that there is no official listing of the people buried in the cemetery; when his uncle, the previous trustee, asked him to take over, he had no such information to provide. The cemetery is still in active, if infrequent, use. Burials are made where there is room; there are no assigned plots and the graves are laid out in rough, rather than strict, lines. Nevertheless, the cemetery is well maintained, and readily accessed.
A partial (somewhat more than 1/3 and less than 1/2) "photographic census" was taken on August 15, 2000. The results of this have been used to supplement the information previously on hand from a fragment of a previous survey. Unfortunately, many of the very old stones are marble, rather than granite, and have become difficult to read as lichen and acidic rain have taken their toll. In at least one case, the stone was entirely unreadable at the time the photo was taken; in another the top portion of the stone was broken off, and the name, date of death, and part of the age at death is missing. In addition, Victor Seymour pointed out that a number of stones and fragments have been moved to a pile at the edge of the cemetery. Clearly, a more thorough census is still needed.
