Fred Dorson

The following article was received from Grace Seward of Bentonsport.

"I received word from relatives of the death of a resident of Bentonsport years ago.

Fred Bragg Dorson, 74, Van Couver, Wash., died recently. His father, Harry Dorson's family lived here years ago. His mother Louise Bragg, Dorson, the daughter of William I. Bragg, a Civil War Veteran, was Bentonsport Postmaster after the Civil War. Many years later moved to Davenport, Iowa, where his oldest son was assistant Postmaster.

Fred Bragg Dorson was born at the home of W.I. Bragg and family. His father, Harry Dorson, died a year or more after his parents married. His mother came to her old home at her parents, W.I. Bragg family, here in Bentonsport, where their son, Fred Dorson, was born. Later his mother married again.

A number of years ago Freddie and wife visited relatives here. For many years they lived in Van Couver, Wash. where Fred was a very skilled carpenter. The Dorson family, six sons and one daughter, home was Bentonsport, Iowa years ago. The Otto Dorson family, Cantril, Iowa, was a brother to Harry Dorson."
