Augustus C. Dolan II, was born at Sag Bridge, Ill., March 7th, 1858. He was the son of August C. and Anne Smollen Dolan. He worked on his father's farm until he moved to Chicago.
He married Catherine McGuire (daughter of Peter and Catherine McGuire of Lemont, Ill.)on November 27th,1883. Seven children were born of this union; Gertrude Dolan Callahan, Marcella Dolan Sugrue, Augustus C (III), William S., Clement T., Victor E. and Leonard G.
In 1891 he moved his family to Chicago and settled in close proximity to the then proposed World's Columbian Exposition, since known as Woodlawn.
The following is a quotation from Chicago Daily newspaper at his death:
"He is a resident of Woodlawn for 36 years having moved from Sag Bridge, Ill., in the year 1891. He served as a city detective for 22 years, being stationed at the Woodlawn station, until his retirement from the police department. He then entered the employ of the Woodlawn Trust and Savings Bank and remained in their employ until his death. In every movement for the betterment of Woodlawn, Mr. Dolan was always unselfishly interested, always taking an active part in neighborhood affairs.
His record during the World War helping with the sale of Liberty Bonds and War Drives furnished a striking example of his patriotism, particularly, as he had three sons fighting in France.
H was the type of neighbor and type of citizen whose passing marks a distinct loss to the community. The memory of his hearty good nature and kindly humor will long be cherished by his many friends. He died as he lived, at peace with the world."
