MURRAY DOCHSTADER
Wellandport News
[Welland Tribune, 16 April 1897]
Murray Dochstader, whose death was mentioned last week, was the second son of Mr. and Mrs. Darius Dochstader. He was grainbuyer for Messrs. Diebel & Bricker of Essex, and held the position as long as he could stand it, thinking he would soon be better, until disease settled on his lungs and turned to fatal consumption. Deceased had taken a business course in the Phillips business college at St. Thomas, and was well-qualified to fill almost any position. He bore his sickness with great patience, always cheerful. The funeral was largely attended, and a very suitable discourse was given by the Rev. Mr. Cruikshanks. Burial took place in the Wellandport cemetery. It is a source of great comfort to Mr. and Mrs. Dochstader to know that such deep respect was shown to their son, and they wish through the paper to thank the friends, neighbors and relatives for all the kindness rendered during his sickness, especially to Benj. Sutherland, who came so far to the funeral and sent medicine or anything to help an old schoolmate, and the Misses Nickson of New York for bouquet of flowers, and many others will please accept their kind thanks.
