JIM: A tribute to Susan Wheat Dohoney, a daughter of old Adair

A granddaughter wrote lovingly of her kinswoman: During the last six weeks of her life I was with her, and heard her talk much of her past life, -- the happy, easy days in Columbia; the wider and more strenuous social life in Louisville, Frankfort, and other cities in Kentucky. Then the business life she had in this rushing city of Chicago during these later years. . . And heard her say, often, I am not afraid to die, but I love to live.

By JIM

Rarely has a young lady written so moving a tribute as did Miss Mary C. "Kate" Dehoney upon the death of her grandmother, Mrs. Susan Wheat Dohoney.

Susan was born in Columbia in 1828, the daughter of prominent Columbia businessman Milton P. & and his wife Rebecca Miller Wheat. She was also a niece of the well-known jurist, Judge Zach Wheat. She married Thomas Rhodes Dohoney in the fall of 1847; their son, Thomas Milton, mentioned below, was their only child who lived to adulthood. Thomas Rhodes Dohoney served a term as Sheriff of Adair County in the 1850s and later was appointed as U.S. Marshall by President Lincoln. He passed in 1862 or 1863.
