    • Obituary:
      "Eliza A. Northrop was born in Cornwall, Conn., November 16 1823. She was a descendant of one of Massachusetts' first settlers, Joseph Northrop, who landed in Boston in 1637. Her grandfather, Dr. Joel Northrop was a surgeon in the Revolutionary army. While still a little girl, her sister married the noted Cherokee leader, John Ridge, with whom she spent some time in his Georgia home before the Cherokee's moved West. Eliza married Dr. Uriah Dorman at New Marlborough, Mass, on November 27th, 1845.

      In 1853, they moved to Wisconsin where she dwelt at Berlin and Plainfield until the death of her husband eighteen years ago, when she came to the Indian Territory where she has lived the most of the time since. She was among the first settlers in Mounds [OK] which was her last home on this earth.

      She was a Christian from her youth and was one of the charter members of the First Presbyterian Church of Mounds.

      She was survived by her son, C. U. Dorman, daughter Mrs. M. N. Wheeler and six grandchildren, all of whom were at her bedside except her granddaughter, Mrs. Mabel Bennett and her daughter, Amy."
