Preface

Serendipity and Historical Research

I have always been fascinated by Colorado history. My interest in architecturalhistory began when my wife and I moved into a William Lang designed house inDenver in the 1980s. It seemed clear that our face block was threatened byinappropriate development--metastasis from nearby medical institutions, if you will.Our house was already listed on the National Register. It occurred to me that if I gotour face block designated as an historic district this would provide some protectionas well as possible tax breaks for my neighbors. At the time I had no credentials withthe historic preservation community and my inquiries were greeted with some degreeof skepticism. I documented that the work of five founding members of the ColoradoChapter of the American Institute of Architects was represented in my block. The twobuildings next door to my home were designed by the architect Henry Dozier aboutwhom nothing was known. I worked to develop his biography using tools that wereavailable to me in the 1980s. I lost Dozier's trail thru history in the mid-1890s.Studies such as this one need to be understood in historical context. Because theSilver Panic of 1893 had such a devastating effect in Colorado, I presumed that hewas dead or had left the state never to be seen again.

Serendipity. One day I picked up a copy of a magazine called Americana. It flippedopen to an article on the town of Skagway, Alaska, which had been designed byHenry Dozier. Skagway is a part of the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park.The National Park Service representatives didn't know that he came from Denver, andI didn't know that he had been in Skagway. We exchanged information. There werearchitectural plans available for some of the buildings in Skagway, and they notedthat Henry Dozier was from Seattle. I then picked up his trail in Seattle. I lost thetrail again in nearby Tacoma in 1910. Directory research suggested he had fallen onhard times.

Serendipity. My wife wanted to understand what I was doing when I was researchingarchitects. She joined me at the Pacific Northwest Collection of the University ofWashington in Seattle. Such research is often boring, time-consuming, and tedious.She picked a book off the shelf in the reading room entirely at random and looked inthe index and found the elusive Henry Dozier. The book was a catalog of holdings ofthe Bancroft Library at the University of California at Berkeley. The next time we werein San Francisco she went to the Bancroft Library and found oral history documentspertaining to Henry Dozier. Much of the detailed information turned out to be wrong,but it at least allowed me to follow Henry Dozier backwards in time to St. Louis,Missouri and Enterprise, Mississippi.

Serendipity. Henry Dozier's father was a physician. I was surfing the net one nightand found pictures of medical school admission cards issued to Richard Dozier at theUniversity of Pennsylvania in 1834. I quickly determined that this Richard Dozier was


Henry's father. I got permission to use pictures of these cards in my research andpublications from their owner and then the site disappeared from the internet only toreappear later.(www.medicalantiques.com)

When it became possible to search the contents of old newspapers, we found out thatbetween the time he left Denver and the time he appeared in Seattle he spent sometime in Cripple Creek, Colorado. That led us to the unresolved story that his wife mayhave boiled the baby. Dozier left town one step in front of the law.

We knew that one of Henry's daughters moved to Lansdowne, Pennsylvania, so welooked for him in the Philadelphia area. It turns out that he died in Lansdowne,Pennsylvania probably under the care of that daughter, whom he had abandonedmany years before, and her family. Family tradition says that he was old, broke, andsick so the daughter took him in. No photographs of Henry have been found.

The story reads like a soap opera. It's clear that Henry Dozier was a historicallysignificant architect who built projects in Seattle, Skagway, Cripple Creek andDenver. He is buried in an unmarked grave in Enterprise Mississippi which I visited.There is no record of how or why he returned to Enterprise. The more I research hisbiography the more questions arise.

An extensive annotated bibliography useful to other researchers is available on myweb site drbrantigan.com. This bibliography documents the conclusions of my study.

Henry Dozier

The last half of the 19th century and the early part of the 20th century was a time ofgreat social tumult. The Civil War caused immense ruptures in the social structure ofthe country, particularly in the South. Many people and their families were displaced.The country became less agrarian and more industrial. There were epidemics ofinfectious disease as people who grew up in small agricultural communities wereexposed as adults to childhood diseases, such as measles, that their urbancontemporaries had survived as children. There were economic cycles of boom andbust stimulated by the get rich quick mentality produced by gold and silver rushes inthe Western United States and in Alaska. The architects were among pilgrims ofmany occupations who pursued the booms, got crushed in the busts, abandonedwives and children along the way, and died penniless. Henry Dozier was one thesepioneers. During his lifetime he fled the Civil War in Mississippi and studiedarchitecture in St Louis. After briefly working on the railroad he practicedarchitecture in Denver, Cripple Creek, Skagway and Seattle making significantcontributions in each place in spite of the charges of moral turpitude. He was one ofthe founding members of the Colorado Chapter of the American Institute ofArchitects and has the distinction of being a prominent Denver architect whoseopinions about the development of architecture in the 1880's were recorded forposterity.

Dr. Richard Henry Dozier

The narrative begins with Henry's father, Richard H Dozier. His father has become aresearch topic as well because he too is an enigmatic figure. His parents weredescendents of the old Huguenots of South Carolina, and therefore probablyProtestant. According to Bancroft, his father was Dr Richard H Dozier, SurgeonGeneral of Mississippi during the Civil War1. In fact the only Surgeon General ofMississippi that I can find was HL Houze. Bancroft's interviewer was wrong. Richardwas a physician born supposedly in South Carolina2,3 in 18154. It appears, however,that he was born in Nash County North Carolina. Bancroft was wrong again.According to Lallie Dozier Benkoski, Dozier family genealogist, he was born on 13December 1815. His father was Thomas Dozier not Richard. That’s just as well

1. This information is from the Bancroft interview of Henry Dozier. In Record Group 9, Confederate Records, Volume 104,Register of Commissions of the Army of Mississippi 1961-65 is an entry commissioning HL Houze Surgeon General on 2September 1861 (research by Walter).2. Census records give profession, and wife and children's names. That he was born in South Carolina is appears in somecensus records, but it is clear he was born in North Carolina.3. Records of the Mississippi State Medical Society go back only to 1885 and there is no Dr Dozier listed.4. Lallie Benkowski, Dozier family genealogist.

(from lunacy trial of 1884)


because there are so many Richard Doziers scattered throughout the South that it isdifficult to determine who is who. Thomas wasn’t easy either. He was pretty busy,fathering 12 children by his first wife and at least five by his second. The key toidentifying Richard's father was to identify the father of CY Dozier born in 1835 inNorth Carolina and Benjamin born in 1831 in North Carolina who are living withRichard and are probably Richard's siblings. William Bradford Dozier, Richard'sfather in law, is also Richard's uncle. Bancroft also reported that Richard was fromEnterprise, Missouri instead of Mississippi and that he was born in South Carolinainstead of North Carolina. Wrong again. Every piece of information in this wellrespected primary source was wrong! Two brief pedigree charts at the end of the bookdefine these relationships.

Unlike many physicians in the mid to late nineteenth century Richard did have someformal medical training. The nature of his medical training is known in part due toserendipity. Lecture admission cards from 1834 appeared in Dr Michael Echols' CivilWar collection on the internet. The posting lasted long enough for Dr Echols to giveme permission to publish them as part of my study on the Doziers but thendisappeared only to reappear on www.medicalantiques.com with Douglas Arbittier.


Richard Dozier matriculated at the University of Pennsylvania in November 1834 atthe age of nineteen. The medical school program was a 2 year course and he did notcomplete the second year. There is no record that he graduated. It is unknown if hecompleted his studies elsewhere, became an apprentice or just went into practice56.Where he was between 1835 and 1840 remains unknown. Perhaps he joined WilliamBradford Dozier (his uncle) in Kentucky.

5. David A Juergens, Head of the Archives at Rowland Medical Library at the University Medical Center in Jackson has noinformation on either of the Doziers. He also points out that the State of Mississippi did not start issuing and recording deathcertificates until 1912. (November 2010)6. Richard Dozier is not listed in the American Medical Association Directory of Deceased Physicians.


Medical education was far different in the nineteenth century than now. Much ofmedical education was by apprenticeship. In addition to institutions like theUniversity of Pennsylvania there were many proprietary medical schools of varyingquality. Commonly the course of study lasted a year and the teachers were paid bylecture subscriptions. We have some of Dozier's admission tickets: "to practice at thealmshouse," "practical anatomy," and "lectures on anatomy," "clinical practice,""lectures on obstetrics and diseases of women and children," "materia medica" and amatriculation ticket. It appears that each of these cost Richard Dozier $10 to $20, asignificant amount at the time. At the end of a years study, formal education wasover. If the first years education was perceived as not enough one simply signed upfor more courses the next year or just went into practice. Licensure was not required.It appears that the University of Pennsylvania was a 2 year program and Dozier onlycompleted the first year.

Both Richard and William Bradford Dozier settled in Jasper County, Mississippi intime to be enumerated in the 1840 census. He was probably living in Paulding. Hewas listed as being between 20 and 30 with no other household members. There wereother doctors in Paulding as well. In the May 21, 1845 issue of the Paulding TrueDemocrat he published a business card. “Dr. Richard H Dozier has been atconsiderable expense and trouble to settle himself at Paulding permanently for thepurpose of devoting his time exclusively the practice of MEDICINE, SURGERY, andOBSTETRICKS[sic]. He feels grateful for the liberal patronage hitherto bestowed onhim, and hopes by strict attention to his profession, to merit and share theconfidence of the public. In all cases I will deduct one third of the regular fee if thecash is paid to me as soon as the patient is discharged. Paulding May 14, 1845”

Other business cards of interest included “Joseph Heyfron, Attorney and Counselorat law, Jan 15, Paulding, Miss,” “David F Dozier, Attorney at Law, Paulding, JasperCounty, Miss, Jan 8,” According to the 1850 Census he was from Kentucky andpossibly related to WB Dozier. "Doctor TP Wiatt, Will practice medicine in all itsbranches. He may at all times be found in his residence in the Killen settlementunless professionally absent May 14, 1845.” “Doctor WB Dozier, would inform his oldcustomers and the public generally, that he will in future devote his time exclusivelyto the practice of medicine & etc. Those who live remote who desire his services mayexpect to find in Paulding on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday mornings until 10o'clock of each day, unless prevented by some important professional engagementMay 14, 1845,” “The Paulding Hotel has just undergone a thorough repair and isnow open for the reception of visitors. The proprietor thankful to the public for theirpast patronage bestowed will endeavor to still merit the same by assiduous attentionto the comfort of his guests. His table will be furnished with the best that Countryaffords, and his stable will be furnished with provender and attentive Hostellers


It turns out that Dr William B Dozier7 was Richard's uncle and apparently acompetitor. He lived in Trig, Kentucky8 before moving to Mississippi in time for the1840 census. He had a 14 year old daughter, Anne Elizabeth. On 7 March 1840Richard went to Kentucky where he married his cousin, Anne Elizabeth after whichthey returned to Paulding, Mississippi (Lallie Benkoski says the information is fromother family members and family Bibles). At least some of the courtship must havetaken place in Paulding as they all were listed in Jasper County in the 1840 Census.She was born in 1826 in Kentucky and died on 31 August 1840 in St Louis

By 1850 he was listed in the Federal Census as a 35-year-old physician living withhis family in a hotel, presumably the Paulding Hotel. By this time he had fourchildren. Benjamin A Dozier, an 18-year-old male clerk born in North Carolina, wasalso living with him. Benjamin was Richard's little brother. Also living in the hotelwas a physician named Bridges, 24 years old, and Joseph Heyfron, a lawyer. Dozierowned an 11-year-old female black slave.

By 1860 he had moved Enterprise, Mississippi, thirty miles or so down the road. Hewas listed in the Federal Census as a 43-year-old physician born in North Carolina.He had eight children. Also living with him was CY Dozier, 25-year-old woman bornin North Carolina (sister). I'm presuming that she was related to Richard because ofthe North Carolina connection. Also we found her in Thomas Dozier's probatedocuments. It appears that he was quite prosperous. The grantor and granteeindexes indicate that he owned a significant amount of property. (see Clarke CountyCourthouse Records.doc) He also owned a slave. He was one of a group organizing asociety of planters and farmers9. Richard appeared on the tax rolls of Clarke County,Mississippi in 1854 and 1855. In 1854 he was taxed on a pleasure carriage and awatch and in 1855 for just the watch.10

There is no evidence that Richard Dozier served in the military during the Civil War.Civil War Records indicate that he was a Private in Company D, 8th MississippiInfantry11. (card numbers for Richard 47477598, 47477660). Richard appeared on a

7. WB Dozier was born on 1 April 1803. Military records on fold3.com indicate that he served as the Acting Surgeon of Company B 14th RegimentMississippi Volunteers (Captain R Steuart Wier's Company). On 24 May 1861, when WB Dozier was 60 years old, the regiment was called to CorinthMississippi for a 208 1/2 mile rendezvous. Donelson is only 30 miles or so from Corinth. In June 1861 he was furloughed to Enterprise Mississippi becausehe was sick. The initial furlough lasted 20 days. The regiment was surrendered at Fort Donelson on 16 February 1862 and the prisoners were exchanged atVicksburg in September 1862. Immediately after that the company was reorganized. I don't have a good reference for this, but it's my recollection the WBDozier died about a month after the surrender at Fort Donelson. I do not know whether he was on furlough or whether he was part of the active regimentat that time. Also the National Cemetery Administration listing of US veterans Grave Sties in Ancestry.com notes that there was a William Dozier whodied 30 April 1862 buried at North Alton Confederate Cemetery, 600 Pearl St Alton Illinois 62003.Unfortuhately he was a pvt from Texas who wascaptured at Pea Ridge, Arkansas on 8 March 1862 and died of debility on 30 April 1862. There are probate records in Clarke County in July 1863, but Ididn't review them when I was there as I didn't know the connection and other researchers haven't found a date of death.8. 1830 Census. Lived there with a <5 year old daughter.

9. True Democrat 30 July 1840.10. See Strickland, Clarke County, Mississippi tax rolls and census 1835-1866.11 . Dozier, Richard H, military records, CSA.The 8th Mississippi Infantry first appears in the Official Records as a part of the Army of Pensacola, Brig Gen Sam Jonescommanding, on 1 February 1862. It was ordered to Corinth in March 1862, but since there were only 450 present for duty itstayed in Pensacola. It moved about (see Walter's report) until 31 December 1862 when it was engaged in the Battle of Stone'sRiver (Walter lists it as 1863). The Regiment entered the battle with 270 effectives and sustained 50% casualties. Additionalparticipants fled the battle and would not come back. Col Wilkinson was in command, but was wounded early on and Lt Col AMcNeill took command and wrote the reports. Wilkinson was wounded in the chest and sent to the hospital at Murfreesboro,


Muster Roll of the Moody True Blues, Capt Green C Chandler, mustered into theservice of the State of Mississippi for 12 months, by Robert C Miller, Aide to Brig GenO'Ferrald, at Enterprise, Mississippi, on July 17, 1861 when Henry was 6 years old.The military records indicate that he was on the rolls by mistake12! His son, John TDozier was mustered into service on the same date, so it appears that when he tookhis 16-year-old son, John, to be enrolled in the 8th Mississippi Volunteers on thatdate he was also enrolled by mistake13. If he were in the military, it's unlikely that hewould have charged Confederate States of America or the State of Mississippi for hisservices. There are three vouchers available in the Confederate Citizens File at theNational Archives. The first is a bill submitted to the Confederate States of Americaon October 19, 1861 for medical services for the 5th Regiment of the MississippiVolunteers to the 1st of November 1861 inclusive at the rate of $50 per month, 14days, $23 33 1/3 cents. HL Howze (Horace Lafayette Howze (May 20, 1824-May 1,1901 Find a Grave Memorial #10153008), Surgeon General of the Army of Mississippicertified that the charges were correct. Richard Dozier signed for payment on 25November 1861. The second is invoice to the State of Mississippi from Dozier. It is for12 days of medical attention to the sick soldiers of the 5th Regiment Fourth Brigadeof Mississippi Volunteers at the temporary hospital at Enterprise, Mississippi at therate of $50 per month $20. This was also certified by HL Howze and Dozier receivedpayment on the 25th of November 1861. The third is a voucher from the State ofMississippi for 6 chickens and a load of wood that Dozier signed for on 4 December1861. This information suggests that Richard Dozier was practicing medicine inEnterprise Mississippi in November of 1861. He was a private physician providingmedical services to sick soldiers of the 5th Mississippi Infantry at a temporaryhospital in Enterprise and that he died after 4 December 1861.

where, "upon the retirement of the army, he was left," presumably in the hands of the Union Army. It is interesting that, thebattle started the night before with a battle of the bands which concluded with all musicians playing "Home Sweet Home. "The8th Mississippi was next engaged on 19 and 20 September 1863 in the Battle of Chickamauga, commanded by Col JCWilkinson, who must have recovered. Lt Col A McNeill was killed leading the right wing of the regiment. Battle was engaged with375 effectives of a total of 404. There were 23% casualties. In October 1863 it appeared on the roster of Jackson's Brigade, Armyof Tennessee commanded by Maj John B Herring. The Moody True Blues, commanded by Capt GC Chandler is mentioned in acommunication dated 1 Nov, 1863. The unit's effective strength on 14 December 1863 was reported as 207 effectives of 287total. The aggregate present and absent was 477. There were 169 arms and 40 rounds of ammunition per man. The roster of 30April, 1864 mentions the regiment as part of Jackson's Brigade, Walker's Division, Hardee's Corps. This is the first roster of theAtlanta Campaign, and lists Wilkinson as commander of the 8th Mississippi. In July 1864 the unit was part of Lowrey's Brigade,Cleburn's Division, Hardee's Corps. During operations between 20 July and 1 September 1864 Gen Lowrey noted that the 8thMississippi lost its gallant commander, the adjutant and many other valuable officers and men near the works. On 5 November1864, while on picket duty, they attacked a regiment of Yankee infantry landing at Escambia Bay, below Milton. Cavalry cameup from the rear and 50 Mississippians were captured. On 10 December, 1864 the regiment was commanded by Maj Andrew EMoody and was a part of Lowrey's Brigade, Cleburne's Division, Cheatham's Corps, Army of Tennessee. The Official Recordsincorrectly report that the unit's colors were captured on 2 April 1865 by Pvt C Richard Mangam at Hatcher's Run, Va for whichhe was awarded a Congressional Medal of Honor. (How Walter decided that this was in error is not said). The last mention of theunit was the roster of 9 April, 1865 where the unit had been consolidated with other Mississippi units into the 8th MississippiBattalion under the command of Capt JY Carmack. (Walter, 1992).12. Jean Strickland, researcher from Clarke County, notes that he was there as late as 1855, but by the first census after theCivil War he was gone. He was not enumerated in the 1866 state census. She suggests that he lost his life in the war andthereafter his wife left for St Louis, thinking that it was safer there and she could better feed her children there. She haschecked cemetery records of Clarke County and did not find a marked grave for him.13. Military records found on footnote.com indicate that John was mustered into Company D of the 8th Mississippi Infantry on17 July 1861. He was called into service on 6 September 1861 at the age of 16. He started as a private, became a corporal andwas discharged a sergeant. He was discharged on 16 October 1862 with the note that he was sick in the hospital at Tyra Stationin September and October. He was last paid on 24 November 1862. It appears from pay records that he was a second lieutenantin June of 1862. It doesn’t appear that he saw action. There is a voucher for $12 for taking something to the Mississippi borderin April 1863 in "in approach of the federals" which is barely readable.


There is a one sentence note in the Richmond Dispatch 4 January 1862 "Dr. RichardH Dozier, of Enterprise, Miss, died a few days since." (http://dlxs.richmond.edu/d/ddr/). The same notice also appears in the Charleston [SC]Mercury on 8 January. There is no context for this statement. It is presumed that Dr.Dozier contracted one of the illnesses that he was treating. Infectious diseases,particularly rubella, were rampant in military recruiting depots in the Civil War, andhe probably died in Enterprise Mississippi. It is presumed that Richmond Dispatchand the Charleston Mercury simply picked up the story.

One would expect that there would be some type of an obituary published in the localnewspapers upon the passing of a prominent physician even if he died somewhereelse. Unfortunately, there are no extant newspapers of that period for Clarke County,Mississippi. There are extant newspapers in Jasper County. They include the TrueDemocrat quoted above but the editions for December of 1861 and January of 1862are missing. The Eastern Clarion was also published in Paulding. There are editionsfrom July 19, 1845 through August 15 of 1862. Unfortunately the editions forDecember 1861 and January and February of 1862 are missing. The Daily Clarionbegan its life as a newspaper in Paulding Mississippi before the Civil War. Thenewspaper was moved to Meridian Mississippi where the earliest publication on file isSeptember 27, 1863. It was subsequently moved to Jackson, Mississippi where itbecame the Clarion Ledger, which exists today but it appears that there are no issuesavailable going back to its days in Jasper County.

Henry Dozier in Mississippi (1855-1864)

Henry Dozier was born on March 15, 1855 at Enterprise, Clarke County,Mississippi.14 According to the census records, Henry was one of at least 9 children.His mother's name was Anne E Dozier, born in about 1826 in Kentucky15.. Brothersand sisters included Celestin L, born in 1843, John L, born in about 1845, WilliamD, born in about 1847, Cynthia Pricilla, born on 13 July 1849 and died on 22February 1935 according to Ms Benkoski. or on 23 February 1935 according to theNew York Times16, RW, born in 1850 CL, born in about 1852, Ben, born in 1856, andCaroline, born in about 1859.

14. Most of this information about his life before 1885 comes from the notes taken by Bancroft's interviewer and preserved inthe Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley.15 Lallie says that she was Ann Elizabeth Dozier, daughter of William B Dozier and Livonia Green Russell, and that she was Dr.Richard’s cousin. According to cemetery records she was born in Kentucky and died on 31 August 1868 at 1635 Morgan Streetand is buried at Calvary Cemetery, the largest Catholic cemetery in St Louis. She was approximately 42 years old at the time ofher death.16 Cynthia Priscilla Dozier was active in the kindergarten movement in St. Louis Missouri in the 1870's and 1880's. At one timeshe was Field Secretary for the Parent Teacher Association of Pennsylvania.. She served as the Superintendent of the New YorkKindergarten Association from 1896 to 1904. It is said that she retired for health reasons that that time. She had a long-termfriendship or companionship with Mary D Runyan beginning in 1889 when they were both listed in the St. Louis Directory asschool teachers in St. Louis living at the same address. Ms. Runyan is listed on the New York Social Register of 1901 withCynthia P Dozier. Kindergarten Review includes several accounts of Mary Runyan's death. Cynthia Dozier is listed in 1910census in Manhattan Ward 22 in New York, New York. She is listed as a 60-year-old whose father was born in North Carolinaand mother was born in Kentucky. During the First World War Cynthia Dozier organized a "farmerette camp" in Rhode Island.Her service was commended by the governor of the state. In 1930 census Cynthia Dozier is listed as an 80-year-old inmate ofthe Middleton State Homeopathic Hospital. She died at the Middleton State Homeopathic Hospital, a psychiatric hospital for the

Before the outbreak of the Civil War, Enterprise Mississippi was a prosperous centerof commerce for that part of the state. At one point it was the largest community inMississippi. Commercial dominance passed to Meridian, Mississippi in 1861 whenthe Southern Railroad intersected with the Mobile and Ohio Railroad in that location.It was a quiet area until General William Sherman appeared on the scene in 1864 atthe head of the Union Army. Vicksburg had capitulated in 1863. In the fall of 1863the lower Mississippi River was not a safe place. Guerillas and snipers along thelower Mississippi led to the fear that the snipers would band together in sufficientstrength to attack the reduced garrisons of the various river ports. The situation wasmade more urgent by the need to reduce the river garrisons further in order toaccomplish the campaign scheduled into northern Georgia in the spring. Shermanproposed that he could remedy the situation in January and February 1864, in timefor the larger of campaign planned for later in the year. He did not propose to wastehis energies running down individual snipers. He thought that it would be like tryingto rid the swamp of mosquitoes by swatting them one by one. He preferred to destroythe economy and the society and the infrastructure which sustained them. Theproduction and transportation facilities would be so thoroughly destroyed that theenemy would have nothing to live on. This was a prelude to his "march to the sea."Sherman began in Vicksburg. He went from there to Jackson Mississippi which heburned yet again, and then continued on to Meridian, Mississippi. He devastatedeverything in his path, cutting a 50 mile swath through Southern Mississippi.Enterprise was comfortably within the swath. According to Foote17, he gave his men awell-earned day of rest on arrival in Meridian. He then distributed the tools hebrought along to assure the efficient accomplishment of the object of his raid. "Forfive days," he subsequently reported, "10,000 men worked hard with a will in thatwork of destruction with axes, crowbars, sledges, claw bars and with fire, and I haveno hesitation in pronouncing the work as well done." Meridian, with its depots,storehouses, arsenal, hospitals, offices and hotels and cantonments, no longerexists." The troops did a particularly good job on the railroads leaving rails heatedand twisted into shapes known into "Sherman neckties." The Union Army returned toVicksburg by a different route to cut another swath thru southern Mississippi.Sherman was convinced that only light cavalry could exist west of the TombigbeeRiver as there were no provisions to be had following his raid. Confederate GeneralLeonidas Polk and his forces managed to save most of the rolling stock beforeSherman got to Meridian. They made the Mobile and Ohio Railroad operationalwithin 26 days in spite of the fact that there was a crippling shortage of rails andspikes and a general reluctance on the part of the planters to the impressment ofwhat few of their Negroes had not run off with Sherman. They had the SouthernRailroad operational in another five weeks. Sherman and his men destroyed all theycould. Polk and his men used up what was left. To make matters worse for thegeneral population, the Free State of Jones was organized in nearby Jones County to

resist the authority of the Confederate Army and its confiscation of supplies andresidual slaves. Later in 1864 Enterprise was occupied by some of Nathan BedfordForest's troops and 100 Union prisoners of war. With the Free State of Jonesadvancing and no reinforcements available, the Confederates armed their Unionprisoners to repel the attack. Eli Lilly, a prominent drug manufacturer after the war,reported, "No war will show another instance where the prisoners of war have beenfurnished arms by their captors to protect themselves against an enemy foreign tothem both."18 Crushed by at least 3 opposing forces, the local population wasshattered by this cataclysmic disaster and had no place to go. The local people weredescribed as having the stunned unbelieving look of people that had survived somenatural disaster such as a massive hurricane, tidal wave or earthquake. The peoplewere starving. Faced with these problems, Anne Dozier left Enterprise in 1864 withsmall children and no husband for St. Louis and her brother in law Captain JamesDozier. The Captain was scion of a prominent family of steamboat captains, bakersand ironworkers. The hope was that they would be safer there away from the war. Itwas a grim situation.

Henry left Mississippi when he was seven years old 4 years or so after his father died[1861] and went with his mother, brothers and sister to St Louis. It is presumed that

his father was a casualty of infectious diseasesat the recruit depot in Enterprise althoughattempts to find a death record or burial recordhas been unsuccessful. It appears that thefamily had really fallen on hard times. Richard'sbrother was Captain James Dozier scion of aprominent family of steamboat captains, bakersand ironworkers in St Louis. It is uncertain howmuch support was provided to the family as thechildren were dispersed. In 1866 Ann E Dozieris listed as living at 170 Morgan, and in 1867 asoperating a boarding house at 208 N Sixth. Shenever appears in the Directory again, and thefollowing year Mary Hoag is operating the sameboarding house, according to the Directory19.She was living at 1635 Morgan Street when shedied 31 August 1869 of phthisis (presumably

pulmonary tuberculosis). She was buried in a Catholic Cemetery.20 By 1870 Henry'sbrother Benjamin is living with Abraham Givens, a black laborer and his family andHenry is living with William Greenleaf and his family and working for the Greenleaf'sas an office boy at the age of 1421. Henry's education was acquired mostly by reading,as he attended public schools in St Louis for only six months. He began to study withEugene L Greenleaf, an established architect and William's father22. In 1874 HenryDozier entered the O'Fallon Polytechnic School, a division of Washington University,to study mathematics. He was an evening student there during the 1874-5, 1875-6and 1876-7 school years.23 The formal architecture degree program there started in1872, but whether it was offered to evening students is not clear24 25. While in StLouis he worked for a year in the carpenter trade, according to Bancroft's account. In

19. This is clearly the correct Ann Dozier, as she is listed as the widow of Richard H Dozier. There is no record of a marriage inSt Louis (marriages are indexed)

20. Information from Ted Steele.21. I can't find any other siblings for sure. There is great name confusion. See Genealogy table for James Dozier (jdozrgen.doc).There is a Henry Dozier listed in 1866 , not ours. He died before 1876 when Elizabeth was listed as his widow. There appear tobe two Johns listed and it is difficult to distinguish between John son of Richard and John son of James. There appear to be 2Richards one from each family. The Richard who is a plant collector may be related to Richard and Ann. John F listed in 1872could be John L in the 1850 census.22. Bancroft interview with Henry Dozier.23. He was not listed in earlier catalogs and students in the evening division were not listed in subsequent catalogs. Not listed ina compendium of graduates in 1917, but dead ones were probably not listed.24. See catalogs of Washington University for a description of their programs. The evening school was more of an extension ofthe public schools than the day school which offered formal degrees in technical subjects and required entrance examinationsfor those without college credits.25. This is further complicated by the history of O'Fallon Polytechnic. See Jerzewiac. O'Fallon was an early component ofWashington University. Originally the evening division focused on less than university level education, filling a real need forbasic adult industrial education. It had an elaborate building housing the Ames library and both the evening division and theengineering division. During economic hard times this building was eventually sold to the public school system in about 1868when the evening program became part of the St Louis public schools. The engineering division remained part of the University.

1874, at the age of nineteen, he was listed as a draughtsman for Lee and Annan26.He worked briefly for the architect, Alfred Grable27. The Directory lists him as livingwith JK Bent in 1875, then as a draughtsman for JK Bent in 1876, He worked withFrancis D Lee, Thomas Annan, and JK Bent on the Chamber of Commerce Building28

laying out the work and enlarging the plans29. By 1877 he was listed in the St LouisDirectory as an architect. He was last listed in the St Louis Directory in 1878.Dozier's interest in architecture began when he was but a teenager living andstudying with architects. The Chamber of Commerce Building was a large andelegant structure, and undoubtedly was invaluable training for his future work

26. Major Francis D. Lee: This gentleman is a native of South Carolina, having been born in the city of Charleston in 1926. Aftergraduating from Charleston College, he commenced the study of architecture and engineering and a year or two aftercommenced business. He pursued this profession in the city of Charleston until the commencement of the Civil War, when hisservices as a civil engineer were required by the Confederate Government. He was attached to the staff of General Beauregard,but had command especially of coast defenses along the coast of the Carolinas and Georgia. He constructed most of thebatteries on the coast of North and South Carolina, and was the inventor of the torpedo boat system now generally usedthroughout the world. Its efficiency was first exhibited against the ironclads "Ironsides" and "Housatonic." At the close of the warMajor Lee was invited to France by the Emperor Napoleon III and had the honor of being presented to his majesty in person, towhom he explained his inventions and their uses. He was also invited before the Lords of Admiralty in London, and acquaintedthem with the torpedo system. Major Lee has been invited to join the Service of the Pischa of the Egypt and also that of thegovernment of Buenos Aries, both of which he declined. For the past nine years he has actively followed the profession onarchitecture, and has contributed largely to the architectural beauty of St. Louis. His principal works are the new Chamber ofCommerce, on Third Street between Pine and Chestnut, a marvel of beauty and symmetry; Mrs. Hunt's building, Fourth andOlive Streets; the Third National Bank, on Olive Street, between Third and Fourth; Hoyle's Building on Fourth and Elm Streets;Col. Charles L. Hunt's building, on Fourth opposite the Patrick's house; John L. Ferguson's building, Fifth and Pine Streets;Bradford and Martin's Building, on Washington Avenue and Sixth Street; Wetzel's Building on Main Street, etc. Dry, Pictorial StLouis 1875.27. Bancroft reported the name as Alfred Graveland but there is no such name in the St Louis Directories."Alfred Grable--This gentleman is a Kentuckian, having been born in Nelson County, about 46 years ago. He was thoroughlytrained in the business of building, and improved his leisure hours in studying the best works on architecture. when theMexican war broke out he offered his services to his country, serving with honor and distinction throughout memorablestruggle. Soon after the close of this war Mr. Grable was engaged in constructing the works at Fort St Philip and Fort JacksonHe came to St Louis about twenty-five years ago, and for some years was extensively engaged as a contractor and builder. Since1865 he has been exclusively employed as an architect and superintendent, and has erected more private dwellings, probably,than any other gentleman in the profession. Over one thousand elegant residences in the city are the result of his skill as anarchitect and builder. during the past year (1875) Mr. Grable has designed and built more than thirty houses. Among some ofthe more prominent buildings he has built are the following: The residence of Louis Bauman Esq. near the Arsenal; the LucasPlace residence of George R Taylor Esq.; the residence of MJ Hartnett: residences for Mr. Hugh Rogers, Isaac M Veitch Esq.,George L Wright, Bradley D Lee, Dr AS Barnes and business houses owned by John Booth and Governor Polk." Dry, Pictorial StLouis 1875.28. The Chamber of Commerce and the Merchants Exchange and their buildings is confusing. The names were used thruhistory interchangeably. Their second building was built between 1873-5. It is attributed to Lee and Annan, but there is a notein the Missouri Historical Society records from Bent's daughter saying that he built it. Dozier recounted that he was working onthe project with Bent. I am assuming that the building in question was known both as the Chamber of Commerce Building andthe Merchants Exchange Building and that Lee and Annan were the architects and Bent was the contractor. Note that Dozierhas connections with both firms and that at one point both firms had the same address.

It is tempting to decide that the second Chamber of Commerce Building was built by Lee and Annan and that the nextbuilding known as the Chamber of Commerce Building was built shortly thereafter by Bent. However, the Lee and Annanversion was still in use in the late 1880's. It was scheduled for demolition in 1955 (See Historic Houses of Missouri Vol VI p183).The next building used as a Chamber of Commerce Building was built in about 1894 by Festus Realty (see Historic Houses ofMissouri Vol VI p182). It became the Chamber of Commerce Building in 1919 (see Chamber of Commerce Journal) and it wasscheduled for demolition in 1977 (see Landmarks Bulletin).29. This is his description of his role.

Henry Dozier in Denver (1877-1896)

Henry Dozier located in Denver in 1877 at the age of 22. He moved from job to job,surveying, drafting, working as an architect, and manufacturing horseradish. Duringhis first year in Denver he worked as a surveyor and then became an assistant to thearchitects Edbrooke and Anthony.

Denver was a vibrant place in the late 1870's. Gold had been discovered in 1858 atthe confluence of Cherry Creek and the South Platte. The three contiguous townsthat were platted by real estate speculators merged to become Denver. The RockyMountain News, one of Denver's leading newspapers for the next century, startedpublication before Denver was established. Gold fever struck. The "59ers" were madeup of people who "saw the elephant" during the 1849 gold rush in California as wellas new emigrants. "Pikes Peak or bust," they said. And bust they did. Unfortunatelyonly placer gold was found and not much of that. The real gold was in themountains. The census of 1870 enumerated the same number of people as the 1860census. Denver languished. In 1863 it burned. As more and more gold and silver wasdiscovered in the mountains transportation was required. Denver's future was as acommercial and transportation hub. Narrow gauge railroads were built to impossibleplaces. With the coming of the mountain railroads Denver went from bust to boom.There was an exuberance not previously present. If you could build those railroadsyou could build almost anything. "Rags to riches" was a real phenomenon. Denverprospered. Cottonwood log houses were replaced by brick and stone mansions. Theempire builders wanted their homes to reflect their achievements and aspirations forthe future. An eclectic highly ornamental architecture evolved. The RichardsonRomanesque style reflected the exuberance. The boom was so great that architectslike William Lang were building mansions on speculation.

Denver was a magnet for the ambitious. Although Dozier came to Denver in 1877, hewas not listed in the Denver Directory until 1880 when he was noted to be a


horseradish manufacturer with Kuner, whose pickle making firm exists to this day.The census listed him as an architect. In 1881 he carried out preliminary surveys forthe Denver and New Orleans Railroad, and remained at this work for about a year. In1883, he is listed in the Denver Directory as a draftsman for E.P. Brink (office 28915th St.) and in 1884 Dozier is listed as an independent architect even though hetold Bancroft's investigators that he did not start on his own until 1886. On the firstof January 1887, formed a partnership with Alexander Cazin, a young man who heconsidered to have splendid abilities and the finest of German educations. HenryDozier was very positive about Denver in 1887 and was optimistic about the future ofhis practice with Cazin. Their office was at 15 Tremont Block (16th St., northeastcorner of Tremont). He thought that 1888 would be one of note for new residences inDenver. Dozier's partnership lasted only about a year, for while the directoryduplicates the 1887 listing in 1888, it also shows Cazin as having an office at 3 and 4Wilcox Block (Curtis between 16th and 17th). It seems that the partnership wasfading out in late 1887 or early 1888. In 1889 Dozier was alone in his practice andhad moved his place of residence to 429 17th St. There is an add in Western Architectin April 188930 listing him in Room 13 Tremont Block, Corner Sixteenth and TremontStreets, Denver. In 1890, according to the directory, he moved his business to theGood Block (Larimer at 16th St.), and changed his residence to 2030 Welton. Dozierwent into partnership again in 1892, this time with W.E. Walters. A listing for Dozierand Walters appears in Architects, Contractors, and Materials Dealers Directory for thestate of Colorado in 1892. By 1893 this partnership had also dissolved and Doziernever took another partner. The 1893 Denver Directory lists him as an architect,2030 Welton, 83 Good Blk, Larimer cor 16th. Miss Zoe Dozier is the only other Dozierlisted. There is no reference to Henry Dozier in the Directory after 1897, when hisoffice address was 60 Good Block.

Henry Dozier's marriage to Pauline Lippas (1879)

On August 23, 1879,he married PaulineLippas [or Lippus] thena seamstress living intemporary quarters onthe Platte River at thefoot of 20th Street. Shewas 19 years old at thetime and had come toDenver from Cincinnatithe year before.31 Themarriage was tumult-uous. They had ninechildren. Celeste,

30. p 18, This add is repeated in May 1889 but I see no other references to Dozier thru Dec 1890.31. She was been born in 1860 in Iowa according to the 1880 census or in Michigan according to the 1885 census.


Cynthia (1882-31 July 1918)32, and Pauline were born in 1880, 1882 and 1883respectively. These were identified in the 1885 Colorado Census. Pauline (Mrs.Dozier) was first judged to be insane in 1884 and entrusted to the custody of herhusband. Other children followed. Another child, probably Henry, born in 1885, ismentioned in the Bancroft interview, but not by name. Frank was born in 1892,David in 1894, Louise in 1895, Clarence in 1897, and there was an additional childwho died sometime before 1910, according to the Federal Census. Daughter Celeste(then age 16) filed a lunacy petition against her mother in 1896 with unknownresults, and on 22 February 1899 she was transported to the State Hospital.Admission records note that she was a widow. Henry appears to have left town atabout the time of birth of his last child, and the children were raised by others.According to the 1900 Federal Census, Celeste, the eldest, was living with John BChurch and Henry was living with HB Manchester at 1643 High St. The whereaboutsof the others is unknown. By 1910 Pauline was listed as head of household and 5 ofher children were living with her at 1666 Vine St.

Dozier was active in local affairs and in the political life of Denver. His activitiescaught the attention of the Rocky Mountain News. There is a reference to him for1879 pointing out that "a large number of voters of the sixth ward united on HenryDozier for alderman". I am unable to determine whether he got elected, but I suspectthat he didn't. The first reference to him in the Denver City Directory lists him asresiding at 53 Stanton Ave. The Stanton address is probably the home that he hadbuilt in 1879 and was referenced in the Rocky Mountain News33. He remained at thisaddress until 1885. On March 23, 1883, Henry Dozier was a candidate in theDemocratic primary for alderman in the ninth ward. He finished fifth in the primary.

In contrast to his marginal success asa politician he was quite productive asan architect. The Denver BuildingPermits Files are available for part ofhis career from 1889 to the early1890's during which time his name isassociated with close to 50commissions. Significant largerprojects included the Sherman School,Main Hall at Regis College and theStout Street Town homes featured onthe cover.

32. Jerome Rowland reported by letter in 1999 that he is the son of Cynthia Dozier. She died in 1918 when he was 5 years oldand family interest in the Doziers waned after her death. She died at Firlands Sanitarium in Kings County, Shoreline,Washington. This sanitarium was closed in 1974 and was converted to a jail. Rowland has a good studio photo of his mother,Cynthia.33.

Dozier was involved in the organization of the local chapter of the American Instituteof Architects. There is a reference to an organizational meeting of the Rocky MountainAssociation of Architects in Western Architect in Dec 1890.

"A meeting of the recently organized Rocky Mountain Association ofArchitects was held on the 17th at room 36 Jacobson Block. Thefollowing members subscribed to the constitution and by-laws; Frank HJackson, A Morris Stuckert, THE Wendell, J Bevan Phillips, WJ Janisch,Marshall R Pugh, PA Baerresen, HW Baerresen, Eugene R Rice, LeonardCutshaw, RG Balcomb, Thomas D Robinson, George C Stephen, WilliamLang, Henry Dozier, L.M. Wood. Mr. Frank Jackson was electedpresident, RS Roeschlaub vice president, ER Rice secretary, JamesMurdock treasurer and Messers AM Stuckert, L Cutshaw, FE Edbrooke,John W Roberts and RG Balcomb as a board of directors, and saidofficers to hold office until May 1 1891. Applications from a number ofarchitects who were unable to be present will swell the list of members toabout thirty. Meetings will be held on the first and third Wednesday ofeach month at 4 PM. Suitable rooms will be engaged, and it is veryprobable that the Denver Society of Civil Engineers and the DenverArchitectural Sketch Club will join with the new society for the purposeof securing a suite of rooms for their common use. Altogether the outlookfor the new association is very promising, and it is hoped that theadvantages to be gained will more than repay to the members anyexpenditure of time and money that they may incur."

When the Colorado Chapter of the American Institute of Architects was formed in1892, Henry Dozier was one of the charter members34. According to Anthony Wrennof the national office of the American Institute of Architects, Henry Dozier neverjoined the national organization. There was a Colorado chapter meeting held at theGlenarm Hotel on 16 June, 1892. The officers were listed, not including Dozier, andthe business discussed had to do with the fire code as pertaining to woodenstructures. Although Mr. Pugh was present, Dozier was not listed as having attendedthe meeting.

34. The annual report of the Colorado Chapter of the American Institute of Architects presented at the meeting in Chicago 31July to 1 August 1893 notes that the Colorado Chapter received its charter on 27 March 1892. Dozier was listed as a chartermember. Marshal Pugh was a trustee and Lang was listed as a charter member.

Dozier remained an active architect in Denver until at least 1896. He must have beenreasonably prosperous as he had two draughtsmen working for him in 189335. Hewas last listed in the Denver Directory in 1897, and was credited with a $7000 housefor EL Powers on St Charles Street, near Colfax ave. This is still standing at 1446Detroit with a brick addition on the front façade. He also built four one story brickstores on Champa between Sixteenth and Seventeenth Streets for St John’sCathedral36. These are undoubtedly demolished. Pauline was admitted to theArapahoe County Hospital for the Poor for 31 days on April 18, 1896.37 He then

disappeared. Family tradition says that he ran off with a harlot, leaving his wife andchildren in Denver to fend for themselves.38

Henry Dozier in Cripple Creek (1896-1898)

Although he was listed in the Denver Directory in 1897 it appears that he was livingin Cripple Creek. He was listed in the Cripple Creek City Directory in 1896. His officewas in the Airheart Building with a residence at 210 Golden. There was a need forarchitects, as there had been 2 big fires the year before. The Denver Post reported on6 February that the Humane Society and Chairman Twombly of the countycommissioners considered arresting him for not supporting his family. It was notedthat in addition to the Denver properties listed above he had received significantincome from projects in Cripple Creek, including the. Pullin Block It was also notedthat he was spending his income on dissolute women. The conclusion of thesedeliberations was that it would cost too much to prosecute him so the matter wasdropped.

In the Denver Post on 27 January 1898 it wasnoted that the County Commissioners hadlistened to Dozier's influential friends andallowed Dozier to go to St Louis withoutproviding for the family. It was noted that he hadbeen living in Cripple Creek with another womanor two, and "the pace he was making in the goldcamp absorbed his earnings in dissolution." Onthis occasion he was rescued by his wealthysister, Celeste Rogers from St Louis with apromise that if he were allowed to go to St Louishe would secure employment and support hischildren. The Humane Society objected to letting

him leave the courts jurisdiction but influentialriends called on the County Commissioners and he left without posting bond.

n 4 February, 1897, the Weekly News printed letters from Celestia Dozier, Henry'sldest child and from Henry in response. Celestia reported that her father wasn’tuch a bad guy and had provided support for the family even though he was on hardimes. She reported that the accusation in Denver papers that her mother had triedo boil the baby wasn’t true. Henry said that he had supported his family anduggested that the unfortunate distressing incident reported in the Denver papersaid to have happened in his house was misrepresented. The boiled baby story wasiscredited on January 20 1897 in the Rocky Mountain News but still was beingiscussed in the Denver Daily News on 20 December 1897. I think it is importanto find the clippings described by the editor. Something of note must haveappened.

8. This needs not to appear in print.


On the ninth of February Dozier was arrested for not supporting his family. OnFebruary 11, 1897, the Post and The Weekly News of Cripple Creek. reported that hehad been arrested for non-support. The case was dismissed he agreed to providesupport and was supported by relatives from New York, St Louis and Denver, whoalso agreed to provide for the children. This put him out of reach of the court and hepresumably went to St Louis.

The situation was summarized in the Post on 27 January 1898. Dozier moved toCripple Creek after the fire decimated the city and practiced as an architect. He waswith a woman not his wife and newspaper reports said there were several womeninvolved and that he spent his money on dissolute women and an active life style.When his colleagues in Denver found out they tried to help. It was noted that theCounty Commissioners had listened to Dozier's influential friends and allowed Dozierto go to St Louis without providing for the family. It was noted that he had been livingin Cripple Creek with another woman or two, and "the pace he was making in thegold camp absorbed his earnings in dissolution." On this occasion he was rescued byhis wealthy sister, Celeste Rogers from St Louis with a promise that if he wereallowed to go to St Louis he would secure employment and support his children. TheHumane Society objected to letting him leave the courts jurisdiction but influentialfriends called on the County Commissioners and he left without posting bond. Hiswealthy sister came to his aid and he promised support. He moved to St Louis for atime—out of reach of the court. His wife and family were abandoned. His mentally illwife was with a newborn. To keep the family from starving and freezing four of thechildren were sent to the orphans’ home, two were sent to the working boys’ home,three were found places in families and the mother was taken to the ladies’ reliefhome.

Pauline, his wife, was not doing well. She became pregnant during this time. She wasa demented patient in the County Hospital. See Arapahoe County Hospital Register1896 and 1897 noting that she was hospitalized months at a time. According to thePost Mrs. Dozier escaped from the County Hospital and was recaptured on 29 June1897 in her night gown. During this time Henry Dozier wasn’t entirely missing as hislast child, Clarence, was born in December 1897. The saga continued into theTwentieth century. By 1900 the Census reported the children to be scattered withother families or in institutions. The Post printed an article entitled "Tale of the Waif"on 27 October 1901. This was the story of abandonment of son Frank saidincorrectly to be the youngest child. The report guessed that the father was inSeattle.


Henry Dozier in Alaska (1900-1902)

It appears that after leaving the Cripple Creekgold rush Dozier joined the Yukon Gold rushwhich began in1897 when ships docked inSeattle and San Francisco carrying miners withbags of gold dust. Just as Denver made itsfortune as a point of commerce and supplyserving miners in Colorado, so Seattle becamethe supply point for the Yukon gold rush. TheMay 1985 issue of Americana Magazinedescribes the Klondike Gold Rush NationalHistoric Park, and its focal point, the White Passand Yukon Railroad depot, as designed byHenry Dozier.

Dozier was commissioned by the White Passand Yukon Railroad to build its depot inSkagway, Alaska. It is a two-story wood framestructure built in the classic revival style whichcarries a date of 1900 over its entrance.According to historical architect Dave Snow ofthe National Park Service, from whom thisinformation was obtained, the building was

ornate (between fifty and sixty shaper heads had to be cut to recreate the originalexterior woodwork alone). It was obviously the work of a big city architect brought into add permanence and elegance to the gold rush town whose original depot hadprobably been built by a railroad engineer. Dozier also designed the new façade for StMarks Roman Catholic Church in 189939. While it is not known at this pointwhether Dozier lived in Alaska, we do know that he went there aboard the ship SantaAna in February 190240. Mrs. A Dozier arrived in Seattle from Valdez on 28 July190341. It is clear that he designed other important structures now incorporated inthe Park, including the structure which serves as the chief ranger's residence. Plansof several of these buildings bearing Dozier's name are available in my files.

Henry Dozier in Seattle (1900-1910)

Richard Engeman of the Pacific Northwest Collection of the University of WashingtonLibrary informs me that Dozier is listed in the Seattle Directory from 1901 to 1909. In1901 he roomed at 1607 First Ave. In 1902 he moved to the Sullivan Building, room58, moving to 49 Sullivan Building in 1906 and then to 323 in 1909. (The Sullivan

building was located at 712 First Avenue and was the site of a parking structure oneblock from Pioneer Square in 1991 when we visited. It abuts the office of a mapcompany in a Victorian building.) There is no reference to him after that time. Thereare no listings for his wife in the volumes surrounding his disappearance with onepossible exception, in the volumes surrounding his disappearance. That mention wasin 1914 where "Dozier, Ellen wid Henry" appears. No other traces of Ellen have beenfound.

As the research proceeds, more and more is known about his career in Washingtonand his activity. An advertisement appears in the 1902 Building Inspectors Guide forHenry Dozier, Architect. He is listed in the 1905-6 edition of Architects Directory andSpecification Index. There is some question as to whether he was a member of theSeattle AIA. Preliminary survey by Janet Ness in Seattle did not identify Dozier as amember. Dozier was certainly active in the community. Seattle building permits arenot as accessible as Denver building permits but with the help of David Rash andothers we have identified 23 projects bearing his name. See appendix.

He is best known as the architect for theDearborn Mansion, a $20 000 Japanese-American residence for HH Dearborn, awealthy real estate agent who made afortune in selling Seattle tidelands forrefill and development south ofdowntown Seattle. That mansion is stillin existence at 1119 Minor. It was theoffice of the cosmetic surgeon JosephWalike when I visited. It became thehome of the Historic Seattle Preservationand Development Authority sometimebefore 1998.

Other buildings designed by Dozier include apartment houses, many private residences and even a

hospital 42:see appendix.

In 1905 he built a 4 flat building (now demolished) for Alf. C. Smith. (Alfred C.Smith is listed as an electrician)(Seattle Daily Times 050211).

Henry Dozier must have hadsignificant musical skills. In 1903 atraveling minstrel group, the Barlow

Minstrels picked up a popular song he wrote with George B Rilley entitled "TheSweetest Song I Ever Heard43." They sent a copy to Adelina Patti, the BaronessCedarstrom who sent them her photograph in appreciation44. Whether she everperformed the piece or not is unknown, but she characterized it as a "pretty song." In1904 their next song, "Daisy Tell Me True," gave promise "of being placed among theclassic ballads," as it was performed often by Madame Lloyd at the Bismark45. Ihaven't been able to find copies of either of these songs.

In 1910 the census lists him in Tacoma, living at 1011 ½ A Street with otherboarders. Jody Gripp of the Tacoma Public Library reads it as 1007 A Street whichwould have been the Mason Hotel. A search of Tacoma Directories found him listed inonly the 1910 volume, listed as a boarder with no address working as a draughtsmanfor City Light and Water Department. In the Seattle Directory in 1914 is a listing forEllen Dozier (wid Henry) living at 1 1612 Melrose, but I cant find references to her inthe 1900, 1910 or 1920 Census. Washington Vital Records revealed no deathcertificate from 1907 to 1929. His daughter, Cynthia, married William S Rowland andappears in the Seattle Directory with her husband from 1914 to 1918. She died oftuberculosis at Firlands Sanitarium in Shoreline, Kings County, Washington. Thereare no records available from that institution because it was closed in 1974 andturned into a jail. William is listed until 1920 and probably beyond. He is listed as awidower in Seattle in the 1920 Census. Where the marriage took place and when shemoved to Seattle is unknown, but it must have been before 26 December 1912 sincethat is when her son was born in Seattle46. Clearly Henry has dropped out of sightagain.

46 Jerome Rowland believes that his parents met in Denver and moved to San Francisco before moving to Seattle. Letter 9 April1999.


Henry Dozier in Landsdowne, Pennsylvania and in Mississippi Again (1910-1914)

HJTcPTwa[lttngbDcha

enry Dozier’s grave is in Enterprise, Mississippi. His ashes were buried there on 28uly 1914 with the note that he died in New York and was cremated in Philadelphia.here is no marker. There are unidentified graves next to his.47 Actually his deathertificate notes that he died on 28 June 1914 in Hahnemann Hospital inhiladelphia. He died of carcinoma of the prostate. He was cremated on 2 July 1914.he death certificate notes that he was living in Lansdowne, Pennsylvania, that heas born in Enterprise, Mississippi to Dr. Richard Henry Dozier and Annie E Doziernd noted that his occupation was a mechanical engineer. His work was “makingunreadable] contract work." He is listed as married, but to whom he is married is notisted. He was probably living with his daughter, Pauline "Polly" Dozier Dormon (1883o 20 April 1972) who married Horace Paul Dorman (1874 to 1962) in about 1910, ashat is where she was living. They moved to Lansdowne in 1910 and hence they doot appear in the 1910 directory. I don’t know if there are other directories. How heot from Tacoma to Lansdowne is unknown. Family tradition says he was sick androke so Polly took him in. They lived at 25 E Essex (personal communication Sarahormon). We have been unable to find any newspaper references in Mississippioncerning his burial. One would expect that a nationally prominent architect whoad his ashes transported from Philadelphia to Enterprise Mississippi would havettracted some attention in the local news.

7 Coit, Rev Albert Barge maintained records of the Enterprise Cemetery until his death in 1918. See page of his record bookrovided by Ward Calhoun of Lauderdale County Department of Archives and History. He also provided a picture of thenmarked grave.

We are fortunate that Bancroft's organization preserved Dozier's opinions of Denverarchitecture for posterity.

He noted that the increase in wealth occurring in the 1880's led to acorresponding desire for luxurious homes and fine building blocks. This, in turn,attracted architects from elsewhere whose cunning had a marked effect onarchitectural styles. Standard rules of architecture were violated as all of thecontemporary styles of the East were adapted to materials available in Denver.Incongruous parts of these styles were then combined and harmonized in a notunpleasing manner into a new order. (What a description of the eclectic style ofthe 1880's and 1890's.)

Scarcity of wood led to the extensive use of local brick of fine quality andstone in building the city. The building materials added a sense of permanence tothe city, and quality was demanded by purchasers. Denver, in his opinion, wasblessed by fine architects, builders and artisans. The artisans were allspecialists, and all buildings of any prominence were designed by architects.

The materials used in Denver building was almost wholly produced inDenver with the exception of plate glass, very heavy timbers and the finer classof woods, which were imported. If imported, however, they were usually wroughtinto decorated furnishing and furniture by Denver craftsmen in as thorough andas skillful a manner as anywhere in America or Europe.

In all, he saw a fine future for architecture in Denver.

It is clear that although little biographical information is available, what is knownindicates that Henry Dozier was an architect well respected outside Denver, thecommunity where he got his start. Buildings in Skagway form the focus of theKlondike Gold Rush Historic Park (National Park Service), and he practiced in Seattlefor a number of years.

Pauline Dozier was born on 21 August 1859 in Sugar Creek, Iowa48 and moved toDenver in 1877. As far as I can tell she had her first lunacy trial in August 1884.During that trial there was a petition that she be delivered into the custody of herhusband, about whom this biography is written. On 18 April 1896 her daughterCeleste filed a lunacy petition against her with admission to the county hospital.49 On22 February 1899 she was transported to the State Asylum at Pueblo50. On 4 October1901 there was an inquisition in Lunacy filed in the Arapahoe County Courtconcerning Pauline Dozier who had been committed to the Colorado Insane Asylum.On 17 March 1911 she was again declared insane and there was a request that shebe transferred from Dr Courtney's Sanitarium to the County Hospital at Countyexpense. In the 1910 census she was living with her family renting a nice house at1666 Vine St. Two children worked for the phone company and one was a nurse. By1913 daughter Celeste was working for the Denver Post51. Pauline was living in

Record of County Poor, Arapahoe County 189650. of the State Hospital searched records and found that she was listed as a widow during this and subsequent admissions.During her final admission her next of kin was listed as Henry Dozier of Cheyenne.51. Rocky Mountain News 19 January 1913 p19


Monte Vista in 1920, apparently looked after by her son. The census noted that shewas a widow. Daughter Celeste, who had lost her husband, Robert Dill in 1927, againtook over her care. On 25 June 1935 she was again committed to the state hospital(Commitment #55276) due to toxic goitre, myocarditis and recurrent mania notmanageable at home. According to her death certificate, she died there on 17 March1944 at the age of 84 of complications when she fell in the "stool room" and fracturedher hip. She was buried by the Davis mortuary in Denver. Her death certificate notedthat she was of mixed race???!!!.

Henrietta Dozier

It is tempting to try to connect Henry Dozier to Henrietta Cuttino Dozier, the well-known architect from Atlanta. Until recently there appeared to be no connection.Recently Sara Dormon found a letter from a cousin, Bonnie Smith, from 116 EastKingston St, Laruel, Mississippi noting that the cousin "that was getting up with thefamily tree" is an Atlanta architect, Henrietta Dozier. See the attached genealogydiagrams to see the connection. Henrietta Dozier was born in Atlanta Georgia on 22April 1872 and died in Jacksonville, Florida 17 April 1947. She studied architectureat the Pratt Institute, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She practicedarchitecture in Atlanta from 1901-1904 and then in Jacksonville from 1914 until herdeath. She was a founding member of the Atlanta Chapter of the American Instituteof Architects and the third woman member and first southern woman member. Shenever married and was known as "Harry." She had an abiding interest in genealogyand became a registered genealogist. She compiled the genealogy of the Dozier familyamong others. Her mother was Cornelia Ann Screvan Dozier born in Grahamville,South Carolina 15 February 1839 and died in Atlanta Georgia 20 October 191452.Her father was Henry Cuttino Dozier, born 18 March 1837, died in Georgetown,South Carolina 14 November 1871. She was descended from John Dozier of theRevolutionary War in South Carolina and Captain Henry C. Dozier, who fought in allthe battles of the Civil War in Florida.53The Georgetown, South Carolina PublicLibrary has an extensive genealogy collection, with fairly complete records after theCivil War. They report that they can find Henry C. Dozier and his family there at thetime, but are unable to document that he died there either by reviewing cemeteryrecords, wills or census information. The suggestion was made that he moved West, acommon thing to do at the time.

Miscellaneous

There is an interesting reference in the Rocky Mountain News on 9 March, 1881,page 8, column 2, which reports a Victorian catastrophe. A two-story brick buildingunder construction collapsed. A plumber by the name of Dozier was supervising thework. Although there was some acrimonious discussion concerning why the buildingfell down while it was being constructed, some suggested that the plumbers under

52. Dictionary of Georgia Biography.53. Dozier Box, Jacksonville Public Library


Dozier's direction had undermined the foundation of the building causing it to topple.Whether this is the same Dozier or not cannot be determined.

Henry Dozier apparently is not related to the Dozier who settled in 1873 in ColoradoSprings whose biography is listed in the Portrait and Biographical Record of Denverand Vicinity of 1898.

Appendix 2, List of Building Projects in Denver from the Denver BuildingPermits File.

Newspaper records indicate that the City of Denver had building records as early as 1879.These building permits are mentioned in various newspaper articles of the time. Permits havebeen issued continuously since that time. The first available official copies of the BuildingPermits log books are for those issued in 1889. The original building permit log books are inthe Western History collection of the Denver Public Library, but they are in bad shape and notaccessible to the general public. Microfilm copies of the books are available. They have nowbeen indexed. (See Brantigan, The Denver Building Permits File, Multiple volumes, CanzonaPublications, Denver). Note that Dozier was a practicing architect before permits becameavailable in 1889 and during the gap starting in 1893. Thus the list is incomplete. See theintroductions to the permits files for further information.

Appendix 4, List of Building Projects Identified in Seattle.

Note: most of the information was provided by David Rash via personal communication 20November 1991 or via the landmark application for the Dearborn Mansion. Additionalinformation came from the Seattle Daily Times (SDT), the Pacific Builder, Seattle Daily Bulletin(SDB) and other sources as noted. In 1997 the author photographed the buildings he couldfind. The King County Parcel Viewer (KCPV) was quite helpful in confirming if a property onthe list still exists. Dates are yymmdd. This list is incomplete.

Aldridge, Lydia S., The Weekly, Seattle Washington, July 17, 1987 p 53 col 2-4.The Dearborn House sits on a spacious corner lot at the intersection of

Minor and Seneca Streets. It is one of the few remaining grand mansions inwhat was once Seattle's premier residential district. Designed by the architectHenry Dozier, and constructed in 1907 at a cost of $15 000, the house is a rareexample of the bracketed Italianate style in a domestic structure. Thegracefully proportioned exterior was sculpted to form bays and is ornamentedwith dental courses, beveled glass, and simply scrolled wood brackets thatdemonstrate the elegance achievable within a restrained decorative vocabulary.This refined house was an appropriate home for Henry H Dearborn, a promoterof the Northern Pacific Railway and one of Seattle's first real estate developers.Today the house contains an upscale beauty salon and medical offices, yetmaintains its unified architectural character. Though it is not recognized as alandmark building, it provides critical depth to First Hills' residential context.

Bancroft Interviews, Denver, Colorado, January 13, 1887, Henry Dozier.Was born March 15, 1855 at Enterprise, Clarke County, Missouri.

Parents are descendents of old Huguenots of South Carolina. Left Mississippiwhen nine years old and went with mother, brothers and sister to St. Louis.Grandfather was Dr. Richard H. Dozier, at one time surgeon general ofMississippi during the late war. Only had about six months in public schoolsof St. Louis. His education has been mostly acquired by reading. Began tostudy in St. Louis with L.N. Greenleaf and then entered the Polytechnic Schoolat St. Louis for the purpose of learning mathematics. Then went to work at thecarpenter trade, remained at this a year and then entered the employment ofthe architect, Alfred Graveland and finally went to work for J.K. Bent who wasthe architect for the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Dozier laid out the work andalso enlarged the plans. Came to Denver in 1877 and located. First year didsurveying; then assisted the architects, Mr. Edbrooke and Mr. Anthony. In '81was engaged in preliminary surveys for the Denver and New Orleans Railroad,remained at this for about a year. Mr. Dozier started in business for himselfabout a year ago and on the first of January 1887, formed a partnership withMr. Cazin, a young man of splendid abilities and the finest of educations.


Was married in Denver in '79 to Ms. Lippers of Cincinnati, has fourchildren, is permanently located and thinks there is no place like Denver,thinks it will grow to be a large and flourishing business city. Mr. Dozierthinks the coming year will be one of note in the building world at Denver andsays there will be many large, beautiful residences. Mr. Dozier has the higheststanding amongst the members and is considered one of the rising youngarchitects of Denver. He will no doubt grow more prominent as he grows older.

Bancroft Interviews. Dictation of Henry Dozier, Architect, Denver, Colorado, January14, 1887

The influence of material upon architectural features by reason of thegreat variety of stone has a tendency towards richness in coloring and contrastand in a manner tending to increase the appearance of solidity.

The scarcity of wood for building purposes precludes its extensive useand the proportion of frame buildings is therefore small which also tends tomake architecture of a permanent character: latterly brick of a very fine quality- have been made by reason of the demand and it may be stated without fear ofcontradiction that no better brick work is done in any part of the United Statesnor will you find brick work particularly and in fact all class of mechanicalwork done as cheaply as in Denver, the construction of houses being athoroughly systematized. Each branch of the various crafts being followed byspecialists. All works of any prominence whatever are designed, planned andsupervised by an architect although as in all new parts the country carpenterwith his crude ideas of design was the pioneer architect. His skill, or want of itbeing displayed in many of our old structures.

The increase in wealth which has taken place in the last few years andthe corresponding ability and desire for luxurious homes and fine buildingblocks has had a marked effect upon our architecture and has called in playthe cunning of several able architects who have been drawn hither by reason ofthe demand for trained ability.

The style of Denver architecture has no especial peculiarity withreference to form or grouping. The prevailing styles of the East being adaptedto our material, but owing to the variety of material and wealth of the people,rather above the average of many older communities, it may not be amiss tomention that all the orders of architecture have been employed from theadopted classical down to the most modern Queen Anne, many of ourstructures being adorned with modern Gothic, modernized colonial styles andseveral buildings built in the manner peculiar to California and for want of abetter name known here as the bay window style. And in many instancesstructures that are of a nondescript order or a mixture of several orders that,although a violation of the general rules of architecture are not unpleasing andare in perfect keeping with the tendency of the age to combine and harmonizeseemingly incongruous parts; from which we may work out a new order, just asthe Barbarous Goths developed the beautiful Gothic, or as the Byzantine orNorman was evolved by grafting on the old and classic Greek and Roman.

The material that enters into the construction of buildings in Denver isalmost wholly produced here except excepting the plate glass, very heavy


timbers and the finer class of woods, which are imported, but they are wroughthere into decorated furnishing and furniture by our mechanics in as thoroughand as skillful a manner as may be had elsewhere. Denver, in all branches ofthe building trades, being thoroughly cosmopolitan and has at its commandthe skill and taste of American and European artisans.

Census data1800-1840 Federal Census Nash County North Carolina. Dozier, Thomas.

There aren't many Thomas Doziers in the census. Its hard to tell but Ithink that he appears in all of these censes in Nash County. It is hard tomatch up the people because they are listed by age and I don't have acomplete inventory of names and ages. This search was done looking forsome connection with Kentucky which was not found.

and 1 female between 10 and 20. Must be unrelated as Richardwould have been 15.

Dozier, Richard H, 1 male <5 years old, 1 male between 30 and 40 and 1female between 20 and 30 (ages are wrong to be related but see IGIwhich gives the correct parents of Richard Dozier). This isworrisome as this might be the Nash County Dozier noted inthe Nash County Vital Records.

Denver Post 6 February 1897, p. 1 – “Henry Dozier Escapes: County CommissionersNot to Prosecute Him – Too Expensive

The agent of the Humane society and Chairman Twombly of the countycommissioners conferred to-day regarding the advisability of arresting HenryDozier whose large family the county is supporting and has been for some time.The society and the commissioners have learned that Dozier earned some$3,000 during the past year in Cripple Creek where he has been active as anarchitect. Among the buildings he designed and the construction of which hesupervised was the Pullin block and he is known to have gotten considerablemoney for his work. But instead of helping his family, all that he could helavished the money on dissolute women, the Human Society has learned, andsix weeks ago he became so strapped that he had nothing for the sustenance ofhis numerous family, so that charitable people and the county have had tosupport them.

It was decided to let Dozier escape for the present, for to prosecute him,all the witnesses would have to be brought from Cripple Creek at a cost of $20apiece, and the whole would be more of a white elephant than the county caresto burden itself with.

Denver Post 9 February 1897 p1Warrants for him

Henry Dozier, the architect, in peril of arrest.Warrants for the arrest of Henry Dozier, the architect whose family on W. 5th

Ave. have been destitute and sustained by charity by the county because of thefailure of his father to provide sustenance for the family, was issued thisafternoon by the Humane Society. This step was taken at the request of theDistrict Attorney and the County Commissioners, who will bear all expensenecessary to bring the witnesses from cripple Creek to Denver to show thatDozier has been living extravagantly in cripple Creek while his family has beensuffering here. He will at least have to give $500 bond for the support of hischildren.

Denver Post 10 February 1897, p.2.Came to His Rescue:

A Wealthy Sister of Architect Dozier Saves Him From Jail.


When Architect Henry Dozier, who is alleged to have squandered muchmoney this past year with dissipated women in Cripple Creek, leaving a largefamily destitute here, was arrested last night on a charge of non-support, hewas much surprised. He displayed much activity in taking measures to preventhis incarceration in the county jail and was rescued from that annoyance bythe kindness of David Rubidge. The latter signed Dozier’s bond for $500 for hisappearance before Justice Hunt this morning.

Dozier speedily communicated with a wealthy sister in St. Louis andexplaining his dilemma, made an appeal for immediate pecuniary assistance.He met with gratifying encouragement as Justice Hunt this morning acceptedDozier’s plea of guilty with the promise that he would provide his family with$28 per month for the next half year and produce a $500 bond for theenforcement of the order. As the prisoner intimated that he would be able todeposit $150 in cash with the court before evening the matter of furnishing abond was deferred for the present.”

Denver Post, 11 February 1897, p. 1. Dozier Case Dismissed: Wealthy Relatives of theArchitect Will Support His Family.

Further legal action against Architect Henry Dozier, arrested for non-support has been abandoned and the case was dismissed this morning inJustice Hunt’s court. This arrangement was made with the sanction of thedistrict attorney’s office upon the agreement of New York, St. Louis and Denverrelatives to amply provide for the architect’s unfortunate family. The Dozierchildren will be removed from their present abode and provided a comfortablehome. When Mrs. Dozier, who is temporarily demented and a patient at thecounty hospital recuperates, it is probable that this couple will be divorced.

Mrs. Bauman has the hobby that the saloon keepers in town areconspiring to ruin her sons and on Saturday she had a well-known 16th St.saloon keeper arrested from a Justice of the Peace Court which did not know ofher derangement. Mrs. Bowman owns considerable real estate in Denver.

Denver Post, 29 June 1897, p. 2 Escaped: An Insane Patient Gets Away From theCounty Hospital – Found on the Streets.

Mrs. Dozier, an insane inmate of the county hospital, escaped from thatinstitution late last night. She was found by a patrolman at an early hour thismorning and returned to the hospital.

Mrs. Dozier is not suffering from the violent form of insanity andconsequently is not confined in a cell. She is allowed the freedom of thebuilding during the day, but is kept under watch during the night. She retired


at her usual time last night, but sometime before midnight she slipped fromher bed and went quietly from the building.

When her absence was discovered a search was made for her but shecould not be found. Lanterns were procured and all the house and barns in theneighborhood were searched but nothing could be found of the missingwoman. The police were then notified and the officers were instructed to keep alookout for her. About 3 o’clock this morning a mounted officer found thewoman wandering around the vicinity of Santa Fe and First avenues. She wasin her night clothes and fought desperately when placed under arrest. She wasoverpowered and sent to the hospital in the patrol wagon.

Denver Post, 27 January 1898, p. 7THE DOZIERS:

Compelled by Husband and Father to Depend on Charity – Pull Got Him Out ofTown.

The County Commissioners Listened to Dozier’s Influential Friends and Let HimGo to St. Louis Without Leaving Any Security That He Would Provide For

His Family – Now He is Out of Reach.Application was made to the Colorado Humane society yesterday by Mrs.

Laura Arkins of the Denver Orphans’ Home, who is also a member of the boardof control of the State Home for Dependent Children for assistance in bringingHenry Dozier to Colorado and requiring him to care for the family which he leftin this state dependent on charity when he departed for St. Louis lastFebruary. Later the application was withdrawn as Mrs. Arkins had obtained ahome for the smaller Dozier children.

Dozier is an architect by profession. He formerly lived in Denver andsubsequently went to Cripple Creek. His family of a wife and nine childrenremained behind and during the winter of 1897, while living at 726 West Fifthavenue, were found by neighbors in destitute circumstances. Facts in the casewere carried to the humane society at the time and that organization made aninvestigation, while the wants of the suffering wife and children weretemporarily relieved by the charitably disposed people in the neighborhood.

The Humane Society learned that the father had been living in CrippleCreek with another woman; that he had been receiving sufficient income tocare for his family in Denver, but that the pace he was making in the goldcamp absorbed his earnings in dissipation. The publication of Dozier’s doublelife and neglect of his Denver’s household caused surprise among his Denveracquaintances and created indignation among a large number of people whoknew him at Cripple creek who made his life uneasy until he concluded tocome to this city.

Upon Dozier’s arrival he was arrested for non-support by the HumaneSociety, which had learned that he intended on going to St. Louis. Then Dozieralleged that he was being persecuted and tried to show that he hadcontinuously sent money to support his family. He, however, acknowledgedthat he had been living with one woman at Cripple Creek, while the best of theHumane Society’s information showed that more than one had receivedattentions from him in that town.


Coincident with the man’s arrival in Denver appeared here Mrs. CelesteRogers, a sister from St. Louis, reputed to be wealthy, who stated she had cometo help her brother out of his distress. She claimed that he was a cousin of theDoziers who have for years conducted the largest cracker manufactory in thatcity. She insisted that if her brother were allowed to go to St. Louis he wouldsecure employment and would support his children.

Nevertheless the Humane Society, having spent considerable money onthe case, insisted that Dozier be not allowed to go East until he gave bond forthe support of the nine helpless beings he was in law responsible to support,together with the mother.

The society desired that this step be taken in order that when Dozier hadgone beyond the jurisdiction of the Colorado courts there would be somebodyin the state responsible for the support of the family.

Dozier rallied a number of influential friends to his aid. They called uponthe county commissioners and induced them to let him go without a bond andrepresented that they would look after the children and the wife. Thecommissioners informed the Humane Society and the district attorney thatDozier’s friends had assured the board that the family would be supported,whereupon the Humane Society, having done all that the law empowered it todo in the case and being unable to go further without the concent of thecommissioners, dismissed the prosecution.

Dozier went to St. Louis with the sister, but did not support his familyhere nor attempt to do so. All were neglected as before. To keep them fromstarving and freezing four of the children were sent to the Orphans’ Home, twowere sent to the working boys’ home, three were found places in families andthe mother was taken to the Ladies’ Relief Home, where she is at the presenttime.

The father is able-bodied, and capable of supporting all of them, butslipped out of his obligations to the state and family because thecommissioners did not do their duty”

Denver Post 8 March 1897 p8. Della Bowman was tricked by someone saying she wasbeing taken to see Mrs. Dozier.

Denver Post, 27 October 1901, p. 1. “TALE OF THE WAIF - Frank Dozier DesertedWhen A Baby – Insanity Wrecked Home – Family Scattered All Over Country,Father Disappeared, and State Takes the Child.

When the name of Frank Dozier was called in the county court yesterdaya lad eleven years old answered to it, and with the aid of those who have beenfollowing his career since he was too young to remember it himself told a tale ofdesertion which aroused the sympathy of a large number of listeners.

The boy is the son of Henry Dozier, at one time one of Denver’s leadingarchitects with a find home on Washington avenue. He had a family of ninechildren of which the boy to court yesterday was the youngest. Troublecommenced when the wife became violently insane and had to be put in anasylum. Then the family commenced to scatter and are now in different parts ofthe country. The father’s business went to ruin and a few years ago he, too,left, leaving the youngest son without a home or protection. The boy was picked


up in this condition and sent to the Working Boys home, where he has been forthe past two years. The object of bringing him into court yesterday was to havehim admitted to the State Home for Dependent Children. The whereabouts ofnone of the members of the large family was known and nothing had beenheard of him for years. It is thought that the father is in Seattle.

Dry, CN and Compton RJ Pictorial St Louis the Great Metropolis of the MississippiValley, Compton 1875Alfred Grable--This gentleman is a Kentuckian, having been born in Nelson

County, about 46 years ago. He was thoroughly trained in the businessof building, and improved his leisure hours in studying the best works onarchitecture. when the Mexican war broke out he offered his services tohis country, serving with honor and distinction throughout memorablestruggle. Soon after the close of this war Mr. Grable was engaged inconstructing the works at Fort St Philip and Fort Jackson He came to StLouis about twenty-five years ago, and for some years was extensivelyengaged as a contractor and builder. Since 1865 he has been exclusivelyemployed as an architect and superintendent, and has erected moreprivate dwellings, probably, than any other gentleman in the profession.Over one thousand elegant residences in the city are the result of hisskill as an architect and builder. during the past year (1875) Mr. Grablehas designed and built more than thirty houses. Among some of themore prominent buildings he has built are the following: The residence ofLouis Bauman Esq. near the Arsenal; the Lucas Place residence ofGeorge R Taylor Esq.; the residence of MJ Hartnett: residences for Mr.Hugh Rogers, Isaac M Veitch Esq., George L Wright, Bradley D Lee, DrAS Barnes and business houses owned by John Booth and GovernorPolk.


Major Francis D. Lee: This gentleman is a native of South Carolina, havingbeen born in the city of Charleston in 1926. After graduating fromCharleston College, he commenced the study of architecture andengineering and a year or two after commenced business. He pursuedthis profession in the city of Charleston until the commencement of theCivil War, when his services as a civil engineer were required by theConfederate Government. He was attached to the staff of GeneralBeauregard, but had command especially of coast defenses along thecoast of the Carolinas and Georgia. He constructed most of the batterieson the coast of North and South Carolina, and was the inventor of thetorpedo boat system now generally used throughout the world. Itsefficiency was first exhibited against the ironclads "Ironsides" and"Housatonic." At the close of the war Major Lee was invited to France bythe Emperor Napoleon III and had the honor of being presented to hismajesty in person, to whom he explained his inventions and their uses.He was also invited before the Lords of Admiralty in London, andacquainted them with the torpedo system. Major Lee has been invited tojoin the Service of the Pischa of the Egypt and also that of thegovernment of Buenos Aries, both of which he declined. For the past nineyears he has actively followed the profession on architecture, and hascontributed largely to the architectural beauty of St. Louis. His principalworks are the new Chamber of Commerce, on Third Street between Pineand Chestnut, a marvel of beauty and symmetry; Mrs. Hunt's building,Fourth and Olive Streets; the Third National Bank, on Olive Street,between Third and Fourth; Hoyle's Building on Fourth and Elm Streets;Col. Charles L. Hunt's building, on Fourth opposite the Patrick's house;John L. Ferguson's building, Fifth and Pine Streets; Bradford andMartin's Building, on Washington Avenue and Sixth Street; Wetzel'sBuilding on Main Street, etc.

Chamber of Commerce: ...Externally the building is of cut Warrensburgsandstone, and is apparently but three stories high, although it is inreality five, exclusive of the basement. The basement is treated withquoined piers, with red granite plinths and boldly molded caps, and thefirst story with piers supported by molded bases and caps, carrying abold cornice, enriched with tryglyphs. The second and third stories are ofthe composite order, the pilasters coupled and supported with pedestals,with balusters between the same. The centre of the Third Street front isenriched with detached columns in the several stories, surmounted by abold pediment. A rich crowning entablature, carrying a balustrade,surmounts the entire building. In all parts of the design the reliefs arebold, producing the fullest effect of light and shade; and although theseparate parts of the building are almost colossal, the general effect ofthe whole is light and airy. The style of the architecture is something of amixture, but may properly be classed of the Renaissance order........

Although this has taken longer than I would have preferred, I have beenable to compile a list of projects by Henry Dozier spanning from late 1903 tomid-1905. Comparable research in Pacific Builder and Engineer for the earlypart of 1908 has not turned up any work by Dozier. At present, I have not hadtime to verify if any of the structures are still standing, except, of course, the H.H. Dearborn residence.

I do appreciate the copy of your research on Dozier that you sent me lastJuly, and I trust that you find the above list of projects of some usefulness aswell. Since a number of his residential works are located near Volunteer Park, Ido hope to find the time to see how many might still be standing in the nearfuture; however, I must confess that I have about a half-dozen researchprojects stacked up in front of any work that I can devote to Dozier.

Richard H. Engeman has asked me to send him a copy of my researchcompilation on Dozier for the Architect's` File at Special Collections, Universityof Washington Libraries, so I will be sending him a copy of this letter.

Rocky Mountain News 1 January 1896Henry Dozier, architect, designed and constructed a $7000 residence for ELPowers, on St Charles street [Detroit S of Colfax] near Colfax ave. Thehandsome home is two stories high, built of red pressed brick and brownstone


trimmings at ledges and entrance. Plate glass windows make a well-lightedinterior, which is finished throughout in hard wood. Nothing has been sparedto make the home one of the most modern in all its furnishings. The building is52 feet deep. (This is 1446 Detroit and is a brick building between 2 elegantbuildings. Unfortunately it has been destroyed by a brick addition on the front.According to the 1896 directory “Powers, Edmond L, ( Powers and Callbreath) r1446 Detroit). Mr. Dozier also constructed four 1-storey brick stores onChampa street between sixteenth and Seventeenth streets, for St Johnscathedral. They cost about $6000 are of red pressed brick, with large, roomyshow windows and ornamental cornices. Such convenient stores were muchneeded in that part of the business section of the City, and they have beenconstantly occupied since their creation.

Rocky Mountain News 30 January 1897. Ruthless Fake--Scandal MongersManufacture a Sensational Story Devoid of One Word of Truth. The storypublished in the morning paper relative to the starvation of the family of HenryDozier, the architect of the Sherman school, who is now in cripple Creek, wasaccepted at the courthouse yesterday with many grains of allowance. The factsin the case are that Mrs. Dozier became insane nearly 2 months ago, at whichtime she was discovered to be mentally unbalanced through wrong sheimagined she had suffered. The absence of the husband from the home at thetime, when he was engaged at Cripple Creek, made it imperative that the familyof nine children, most of whom are quite young, should be cared for, and thecase was therefore reported to the County Commissioners to the humanesociety, and as they became needy, supplies of groceries and coal werefurnished by the county. The coal guild also furnished coal to keep the familyfrom suffering. The commissioners have kept them supplied ever since. Everyschool day has found several of the Children at the Fairmont School, and thewell filled baskets which they carried their did not indicate to the teachers ortheir associates that they were in danger of starvation. Celestia Dozier, theeldest of the family, has been caring for the younger children and has beenassisted by friends and by charitable people who have become interested in thecase. The story of an attempt to kill the youngest child by Mrs. Dozier is a taleof a diseased brain in the opinion of those who have been interested in thecase, and to have no more foundation than that.

Rocky Mountain News 10 February 1897. Will Support his Family--Henry DozierArrested on Arrival From Cripple Creek. Henry Dozier, whose wife is confined tothe County hospital as insane and whose family of nine children has beensupported by the county since the early part of December, was arrested at thecourthouse yesterday afternoon, charged with failure to support his family.Dozier, who is an architect of some note, being the designer of the plans for theSherman School, has been at cripple Creek for some months and has drawnplans for a number of buildings put up since fire. His income from this sourceis been considerable, at least $3000, yet the investigation of the HumaneSociety reveals the fact that he has not contributed anything the support of hisfamily left in Denver. Dozier said he was in the city to arrange for taking hiseldest daughter to St. Louis, where she would be cared for by an aunt who had


furnished passes. Secretary Whitehead of the Humane Society informed Dozierhe would have to make provision for his family or submit to punishment. Mrs.Rogers, who accompanied Dozier, promised to furnish bond to carry out thispledge.

To the Morning Times:

The newspaper report about the destitution in the Dozier family is full of errors.Mama has been in the hospital for at least two months. She was taken out ofthe hospital in July from a previous attack. The frightful incident mentionedabout Mama's trying to boil the baby was also different. The door was locked itis true at the time but the catch was broken. To keep it shut we had to lock it. Iwas washing that day and put the boiler on the stove myself and Mama in afrenzy cried out "fire." We have been hard-pressed lately but at no time were weentirely destitute. I had at the time the reporter called $12 that papa had sentus, in the house. I was afraid to say anything about it being as we were entirelyalone. I had this money at the time this was supposed to have happened. Ourfather is very kind xxxxxxxx has always seen to our welfare. But I know he hasbeen in difficulties lately and I feel that we are not alone in that dilemma. Wehave received money from papa by telegraph, mail and postal order. Papa washome in October and bought coal, bedding, and provisions and clothing.Celestia Dozier Denver January 30

Letter from Mr. DozierTo the editor of the Morning Times:

Believing that you would not willingly do me an injury where I am blameless, Ienclose herewith for your consideration a clipping from the Denver News, theDenver Post and The Denver Times, and a true explanation of the unhappycircumstances surrounding a late distressing occurrence in my home. Theexplanation comes from my eldest daughter and her testimony isunimpeachable, for she is truthful and unprejudiced in all particulars relatingto the subject. I enclose herewith several receipts which will show forthemselves that I sent my family money. I send many more in the same way atan earlier period. The receipts of same have been lost. I employed other meansof sending my family money vis. by simply enclosing the money five dollars or$10 in a letter and also sent money by postal order, you can then readily


perceive that any accusations of neglect of my family or even a hint at it is afalsehood in whoever utters it.

Neglect of my family is not one of my faults for the proof of which I can rely atall times upon my children. Henry Dozier, Denver, January 30
