The community was saddened and shocked when word reached here last Saturday evening of the death of Marjorie Gail Dooley at the General Hospital in Kansas City. MO.

Marjorie Gail had undergone an operation for the removal of the lower lobe of one lung on Friday morning, from which she failed to rally, in spite of all that the medical science and loving care of the hospital staff of doctors and nurses, whom she had known, worked with and loved, could do.

In the prime of young womanhood, educated and trained in the nursing profession for which there is such a vital need in this day, her untimely death is indeed a tragedy.

A Divine Father may have known and called her to that beautiful home, to free her from the inevitable sickness and suffering in this mortal life.

In 1905 Mr. Dulac erected the stone building next to Millers Hardware and opened a furniture store in Onaga. He later sold the store and went into the garage business in which he was engaged until 1918. He was then engaged in overseeing his farms, and in 1932 his sons, Glen and Howard, purchased the Standard Filling Station, which they sold two years later and took over the Ford agency and garage which they now conduct. Mr. Dulac spent the last few years assisting his sons in the operation of their business.

He was a kind and loving father, and as a businessman, was always fair and honest in his dealings. He took a great interest in the progress and development of his hometown, and his death will not only be keenly felt by his family, but by his fellow businessmen as well.

Funeral services were held at the St. Patrick’s Church at Coal Creek at 9:30 o’clock Tuesday morning. Burial was in the Coal Creek Cemetery.
