05/18/1831 [Communicated] Departed this life, in St. Francis county, on Wednesday, the 20th ult. Col. Neely Dolison, aged 57 years. He was a respectable and honorable man, dearly beloved by those who knew him well, and his death is deeply lamented by all his neighbors and acquaintances. A faithful public servant, he had filled many offices of trust, with credit to himself and advantage to the state in which he resided. He emigrated to this Territory only a few years since, and although his stay here was of short duration, the urbanity of his manners, the frankness of his disposition, and the generosity of his soul, created for him many of the warmest friends. Proverbially hospitable, his house was a thoroughfare for all who shared his esteem.May 4th, 1831
