Andrew Jackson DODGE, of Lowell [Orleans County, Vermont], was born 11 January 1825 in Montpelier [Washington County, Vermont], son of Andrew and Artimissa (KELTON) DODGE, and in April 1848 removed with his parents to Lowell. Educated in the schools of Montpelier, when he arrived at man's estate he began to teach in Montpelier, Middlesex [both in Washington County], Lowell, Westfield [both in Orleans County], and Eden [Lamoille County]. In early life he purchased his present valuable farm of one hundred and sixty acres. Besides farm work he has paid considerable attention to lumbering and has dealt extensively in Barre plows. For forty years has been agent for the sale of unoccupied real estate, and since 1855 has been the business manager at Lowell of the Vermont Mutual Fire Insurance Company, of which he was a director. Republican since the formation of that party [1854]; has held many town offices; selectman, lister, first constable; town superintendent of schools fifteen years; justice of the peace most of last forty years; member of Legislature, regular sessions 1859-1860 and special session 1861; sheriff, Orleans County, 1872, holding the office two years. Has always been liberal in his religious beliefs, and public-spirited, ready to help in all worthy enterprises. On 09 September 1855 he [Andrew Jackson DODGE] was married to Sarah C., daughter of E. S. and Irene SNOW, of Montpelier [Washington County]. By her he had three children, of whom two are now living: Clarence; and Clara, now Mrs. J. K. LITTLE, of Boston [Suffolk County, Massachusetts]. On 14 October 1864 he [Andrew Jackson DODGE] was again united, to Lucinda C., daughter of E. S. and Irene SNOW [sister of his first wife], and from this marriage there were three children: Sarah, Alton, and Andrew Jackson [Jr.], all deceased. [Note in the DODGE Vermont biographies that both John Locke DODGE and Harvey DODGE married women named "Sarah Jane" and that Andrew Jackson DODGE of this sketch also married a "Sarah." Any relationships between the subjects of these three DODGE biographies are not evident from the texts, but the portraits of Andrew Jackson DODGE and John Locke DODGE suggest a familial relationship between them.]
