MARGARET DORSEY

  GRANTSVILLE, Jan. 12 - Miss Margaret Dorsey, daughter of the late Patrick and 
Sarah Dorsey, passed away at her home, the Casselman Hotel, on Monday evening, 
from infirmities of age.  She had been confined to her bed the last several 
months.
  Miss Dorsey was born in Berlin, Pa., April 22, 1858, and moved to Garrett 
County with her parents in 1872.  She was in her 74th year when she passed away.  
She is survived by two sisters, Miss Mary C. Dorsey, Grantsville, and Sister 
Luca, of Notre Dame, Ind., and four brothers, Dr. J. H. Dorsey and Daniel W. 
Dorsey, of Grantsville; James B. Dorsey, Everett, Wash., and Dr. Frank P. 
Dorsey, Harrington, Neb.
  Miss Dorsey was of an unassuming nature and always interested in the welfare 
of her many friends and guests whom she became acquainted with at the hotel, and 
was always appreciative of the kindness of those whom she associated with.
  She was a faithful and devout member of St. Stephen's Catholic Church of 
Grantsville where the funeral services were held on Wednesday morning at 9 
o'clock.  Rev. Father Culbert officiated, and Very Rev. Father Brady and choir 
of Meyersdale sang the mass.  A large assembly of friends and relatives 
attended.  Interment was made in the family lot in St. Michael's Cemetery, 
Frostburg.
