Walter Alers Dodge
A descendant of John Dodge, Middle Chinnock, Somersetshire, England through his son, Richard Dodge
from History of the state of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, pp. 347 - 348: Biographical NY: The American Historical Society, Inc. 1920

"WALTER ALERS DODGE, trainmaster of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad at Providence, was born December 22, 1866, in East Providence, R. I., son of Solomon and Jane (Clark) Dodge, natives of New Hampshire. He attended the local schools of his native place, going from there to the high school of Providence. He then felt it was time to take up a man's part in the world of work, and in 1885 obtained a position as brakeman on the Providence, Warren & Bristol Railroad, having at off times worked for the road, while he was still at school, as a paper boy. From brakeman he was promoted to the position of baggage master. In 1886 he was appointed on the force of extra conductors, and eight years later became a regular conductor. In 1900, six years after his appointment as regular conductor, he was made trainmaster, and this he has held up to the present time (1918). Mr. Dodge is a man who stands high in the regard of the chiefs of the road, a reputation which he has won by long years of unremitting and singlehearted devotion to duty and by an unswerving loyalty to the best interests of the service to which he has given his entire life. He is a member of the Masonic Order, and holds membership in Lodge, Chapter, Council, Commandery and Consistory, and has attained the thirty-second degree

Mr. Dodge married, in Bristol, August 16, 1888, Elizabeth Pierce. Their children are: Harriet W., and Alonzo S., who married Dorothy Reeves."
