Obituary of Roger Dooley, The Fayette Tribune, Oak Hill, WV, Thursday, 9 January 1913: "Salem (Delayed.) The death of Mr. Roger Dooley, which occurred at the home of his father, Mr. G. W. Dooley, December 23, cast quite a gloom over the neighborhood. Mr. Dooley had been sick for quite a while, of tuberculosis, but his death came almost suddenly. Everything that medical aid and loved ones could do, to restore him to heath was done, but all failed. Mr. Dooley had just entered his 21st year. He was married to Miss Hallie Johnson about fifteen months ago, and to them a girl baby was born seven weeks ago. Besides a wfie and baby, he leaves father, mother, one brother, Rexford, and two sisters, Mrs. Nathan Coleman and Mrs. Wyatt Treadway to mourn his departure."

"Mr. Gethan Poff and Miss Marble Lawrence of Charleston, and Mr. Roy Murray, of Coalburg, attended the burial of their relative, Mr. Roger Dooley, last week."
