Burnet Bulletin, 22 Nov 1900 (reprinted from the Lampasas Leader)

The people of Lampasas were shocked last Saturday evening to learn that Mrs. J. D. Dorbandt has died. She had been seriously ill for several days, but all hoped that she would recover.

Her maiden name was Miss Cora Allen Bodenhamer, and she was well known as Allie, which was the name by which she was most frequently called. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Bodenhamer, and was born Dec. 3, 1874. In August 1893 she was married to Dr. J. D. Dorbandt, and they lived happily together until the day of her death.

Three children were born to them, two little boys and an infant girl, now only a few days old. Mr. Bodenhamer, in speaking of her said he had never seen a more obedient child, that she never gave him trouble, and was always ready to respond to any call he made upon her. She professed religion when about sixteen years of age and joined the Baptist church, and was a faithful and acceptable member at the time of her death.

She leaves a disconsolate husband, the children above mentioned, besides her father and mother, one sister and two brothers, and numerous relatives, and friends without number to mourn her loss, but they know that she has gone to the home of the pure and good and they do not sorrow without hope of meeting her again.
