MRS. J. N. DOLPH CALLED BY DEATH
Widow of United States Senator From Oregon Passes Away in Paris
NEWS CAUSES SHOCK HERE
Not Known in Portland That She Was Ill – Was Woman of Strong Personality and Shone as Social Leader in Washington
A large circle of relatives and friends was greatly grieved by receipt of the news in Portland yesterday that Mrs. Augusta M. Dolph, widow of United States Senator J. N. Dolph, had suddenly died of pneumonia in Paris the night before. No intimation had reached the members of her family here that she was in other than her accustomed good health, and the announcement of her unanticipated death was a severe shock.
. Dolph had been in France for the past five or six months, visiting one of her daughters, Mrs. Thornton, who makes Paris her home. During that time she had accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Thornton on a number of motor trips though the Loire county and through Normandy and Brittany, seemingly in the best of health and spirits and had mingled extensively with the American colony in Paris, with many of whose members she had been on terms of intimacy for years.
Probably no woman from Oregon was ever wo well known in the best social circles of the East as Mrs. Dolph. During her husband's 12 years service in the United States Senate she became acquainted with nearly all the prominent people in the country. Her home in Washington was one of the social centers of the capital, and her Thursday receptions are still remembered as among the brilliant functions of each season. Besides her high position in society, she was possessed of a wonderfully attractive personality and for years sustained the reputation of being one of the most beautiful women in the United States. In addition she was a woman of extremely generous and amiable impulses, and it is one of her crowning glories that she will be mourned longest by those who have known her longest.
Mrs. Dolph crossed the plains when a baby, with her father Johnson Mulkey, who settle in Corvallis on reaching Oregon. After marriage to Mr. Dolph she lived in Portland until she went to Washington, but since her widowhood she spent a large part of her time abroad. She was 63 years old at the time of her death.
Mrs. Dolph is survived by four sons, Chester V. Dolph, Francis Marion Dolph and Henry Villard Dolph, of Portland, and Lieutenant Cyrus A. Dolph, of the United States Army; two daughters, Mrs. Richard Nixon of Portland, and Mrs. Lewis Walker Thornton of Paris; three sisters, Mrs. J. W. Cruthers and Mrs. Martha M. Cauthorn, of Portland, and Mrs. A. M. Odeneal, of New York City, and one brother, Logan Mulkey, of Walla Walla. She was a sister of the late Marion Mulkey, one of the leading attorneys of the Portland bar, and was therefore aunt of ex-United States Senator F. W. Mulkey.
While no definite arrangements have yet been made, it is understood that the remains of Mrs. Dolph will be brought to Portland for interment by the side of her distinguished husband.
