Woman Long Active in Social Life in City Passes
FIFTY YEARS LIVED HERE
Revered Resident Identified With Charitable and Civic Movements Many Years
Mrs. Cyrus A. Dolph, 85, for more than half a century closely identified with the social and civic life of Oregon, died early yesterday at her home at 1711 Southwest Park avenue.
Mrs. Dolph was born August 22, 1849, in Belleville, Ont., the daughter of Charles and Jane Blaind Cardinell. She came from a long line of colonial ancestors and was descended from the distinguished Richmond family of Rhode Island and Virginia.
Mrs. Dolph was graduated from Mills college in 1869 and in 1875 she was married to Cyrus A. Dolph, senior member and organizer of the law firm of Dolph, Bellinger, Mallory & Simon, the oldest law firm in Oregon. Mr. Dolph died in June, 1914.
Charitable Work Sponsored
Mrs. Dolph was identified with many charitable and civic movements in Portland. She was the organizer of the Portland Young Women's Christian association, formerly president of the Ladies' Relief society, which founded the Children's home of this city, and during the world war she rendered citation service in her ministrations to sick and disabled soldiers.
Mrs. Dolph was widely known as a woman of unusual charm and personality, as well as for her hospitality.
For more than 50 years her home welcomed distinguished visitors who came to this state. Included among these were presidents, foreign potentates and other notables.
She was revered by all who knew her. In spite of her prominence and close association with the social and civic affairs of the city and state, she was modest and retiring in all her activities, always shunning any kind of publicity.
Many Activities Followed
Mrs. Dolph was a member of the Archaeological Institute of America, a life member of the Portland Art association, a patron of the Portland Symphony society, a member of the Magna Charta Dames, a charter member of the Town club and for many years a member and actively interested in the activities of the First Baptist church.
Members of the immediate family who survive Mrs. Dolph are a daughter and three sons; Mrs. Edward W. Clark III of Philadelphia (nee Hazel Dolph), Joseph N. Dolph of Pasadena, William V. Dolph of Portland and John M. Dolph of Philadelphia. John Dolph flew back to Philadelphia a few days ago when it was believed that his mother was recovering. The other three children were at the bedside.
Funeral services have been set tentatively for Tuesday at 2 P.M., the rites to be conducted at the West Park avenue residence by Dr. William Everson, pastor of White temple.
