Priscilla Dobie Obit
07 Feb 1889 Richwood Gazette Richwood Pioneer and a Member organized here. Here of the Life of a Good Woman. One by one the links that bind the present citizens to the early setters of this community are being broken by The hand of death. Indeed the original settlers are now about all gone. In many hardships and toils they laid the foundations for the prosperity of the present population, and well they laid them in respect of both civil and religious society. Most of them sowed good seed, and their children and others are now enjoying a rich fruit-age. Mrs. Priscilla Dobie, whose death occurred last week, Jan. 29th, 1889, was one of the original settlers of the village of Richwood, coming here to live in the spring of 1835. She was born in Fayette county, Pennsylvania, Nov. 14th, 1816, Her mother, whose maiden name was Elizabeth Stevens, died in 1883, at the age of 63; and her father, Enoch Fisher, died in Richwood in 1865, at the advanced age of 101 years. He was a soldier in the war of 1812, and has a soldier's honored grave in Claibourne cemetery. Priscilla Fisher came to Ohio with her parents in 1820 and settled at Mt. Vernon where, In March, 1834, she was married to William Barkdull, the father of Rev. Thomas N. Barkdull. The pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church in this place. About a year afterward they moved to Richwood, erected a cabin on the lot on which Hon. W. H. Conkright now resides, and there set up in house keeping. After a time they returned to Mt. Vernon, where William Barkdull was established in business, and died in 1840. The widow then came back to Richwood and occupied the early home. In 1843 she was married to James C. Dobie, who was in the service of his country in the late war, and died at Camp Dennison in January. 1885, Both marriages were very happy. Twice left a widow, each time with young children to support, she took up with a brave but bleeding heart the heavy burden of life and bore it bravely and successfully to the end. Eight children live to honor the in memory of a faithful mother. One child of each marriage died in early life. Mrs. Dobie was long a pilgrim in the Christian road. At the age of 13 she became a Christian and united with the church in which she enjoyed a rich experience for about 60 years. Through her many cares and trials the Christian faith was a support and a satisfying portion. She was the last one of the original members of the Methodist church in this place. This church, the first in Richwood, was organized by Rev. Warren Frazell, Oct, 17th, 1834, with five members, namely: William Phillip and his wife, Isabelle; Mortimer Bentley and his wife, Nancy, and Mrs. Elsie Sirpless. Quite soon after the organization William and Priscilla Barkdull united with nine others, namely : Mrs. Sarah Woods, wife of John Woods; Mrs. Margaret Brookins, wife of Dr. John P. Brookins; Hesekiah Burdiek and his wife, Catharine; Philip Plummer and his wife, Ann Maria; Adam Burge; Miss Lois Burdick and Miss Catharine Burdick, daughters of Hezekiah Burdiek. Now that the last of these worthy sixteen has gone it is a proper tribute to their memory to say all, so far as is known, were faithful unto death, and do doubt have received, or shall receive, a crown of life. The subject of this sketch always regarded Richwood as her home. After an absence of a number of years she returned in 1885 with the intention of ending here her days. For several of her last years she was an invalid and a sufferer, but Her faith in God and in the bliss of a future state never wavered. She found much comfort in the holy sacrament which was administered to her a few weeks before her decease. A short time before death issued she was asked what message she had for her children who could be present then, and she said, "Tell them all to be good Christians and meet me in heaven" As she entered the valley of the shadow of death she was asked if she was happy and all was bright, and she feebly answered "Yes." Then she soon quietly passed away, dying in perfect peace. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Caleb Hill, a friend and former pastor, and the remains were laid away in Claibourne cemetery.
