Sabula Gazette, January 15, 1881, reprinted in the Jackson Sentinel, January 20, 1881.

CAPTAIN DOLSON, who ran the little steamer Emma in attendance at the bridge here during the summer, died at his residence in Dubuque last Sunday morning, at the age of 60 years. His death was caused by pneumonia and rheumatism brought on by exposure at the bridge during the inclement weather at the approach of winter.
