Charles F. Doolittle

• Death Notes

  Story in the Reedy paper Sept. 1904
  Possum Tail
  Wade Dye reports that the great possum which has been fattening on Dusauce Dye's paw paws was killed by the orator and statesman, T.W. Dye..It weighed 75 pounds, and was the largest one grown in these parts. A generous portion was given to C.F. Doolittle, which in a measure atoned for the loss of his favorite possum. Dusauce will make an overcoat out of the hide for winter.

  CAIN'S RUN
  February 1906
  C.F. Doolittle has gone to raising possums and rabbits and says there is more pay in that than in raising cattle and sheep. But he is very much grieved for the loss of his old hound Queen. She was about fifteen years old, but she is dead at last.
