Edmonson-Monroe County KyArchives Obituaries

The Edmonson County News
Judge John C. Dossey one of the most prominent citizens of Edmonson County, 
and until his health failed a few years ago, a leader in religious, 
fraternal and political activities of the community, died at six o'clock 
Wednesday morning from a long illness of paralysis and complications.

      Had Judge Dossey lived until the 27th day of this month, he would have 
been 74 years old, and he had spent the greater portion of his life in this 
county, coming here, when a young man, from Monroe county, where he was 
born, his parents being of sturdy pioneer stock from whom he inherited his 
great strength of character, being firm in his convictions, stongly opposing 
the things he believed wrong and having the courage to uphold the right as 
he saw it.  He served two terms as County Judge, administering the affairs 
of the county with natural dignity and great efficiency.  He was a leading 
member of the Brownsville Baptist church, serving the congregation as clerk 
for more than thirty years.  He was also a faithful member of the Masonic 
Order and a staunch Republican in politics.

      Surviving are his widow, two sons L. B. and L. C. Dossey, splendid 
citizens of Brownsville, one brother James B. Dossey, of Warren County, many 
other relatives and a wide circle of friends.  Funeral services were held 
Thursday at the Baptist church, conducted by the pastor, the Rev. Elbert 
Duvall.  Burial was in the I. O. O. F. cemetery at Smiths Grove Thursday.
