Cyrus A. Dolph

Cyrus Abda (C. A.) Dolph (September 27, 1840 – June 22, 1914) was a businessman in Portland, Oregon, United States. He was a promoter and counselor of various financial and railway enterprises of the Pacific Northwest of the United States.

He was born September 27, 1840, on a farm near Havana, Chemung, now Schuyler County, New York. He was called Abda in honor of one of his forefathers, Abda Dolph, who was born in Bolton, Massachusetts, in 1740, and served with distinction in the Revolutionary war, as did his brother Charles. He was also a regent of the University of Oregon. He was allied with the Oregon Republican Party since age conferred upon him the right of franchise and undoubtedly could have attained to high political honors had not his ambitions and desires been centered and directed in other channels.
