First Generation
1. Henry DODGE was born on 23 Dec 1813 in
Elizabethtown, Hardin Co.,
Kentucky,
died on 18 Oct 1894 in Hamiliton, Hancock
Co., Ill. and was buried in
Greenwood Cemetery, Hamilton, Illinois.
General Notes:Obituary (probably from Hamilton
Press, Illinois)
" The funeral of the venerable Henry
Dodge, father of Dr. T. J.
Dodge, took place at the Dodge residence
Friday afternoon. The
deceased was a Kentuckian, having been born
in Elizabethtown,
Hardin
County, in that state, December 23, 1813,
and was at the time of
his
death aged 80 years, 2 months and 5 days.
Leaving Kentucky he
settled at Beardstown, this state, and there
in 1833 was married
to
Miss Lourena Jolly. The fruit of this union
was nine children, of
which but three survive. Of these Dr. Dodge,
of this city, and
Mrs.
Louisa Staley, of Butler, MO.,were present
at their father's death
bed, the third child, Mrs. Mary Atwater,
of Dallas, Texas, being unable to attend. The deceased was the oldest
of four brothers,
and
is survived by the remaining three."
Note- Henry would have been 80 years, 9 months
and 26 days at the
time of his death.

1 free white female 10 and under
1 free white female 20 to 30
There is a category near the end that reads
"Persons over 18, and
under 45 years of age, subject to military
duty." Although Henry
is
a male in the correct age range, that space
has been left blank on
Henry's entry. It had been checked off on
most of the other
males,
but Henry's entry was the last one on the
page. Was there a
reason
it wasn't checked off, or was the census
taker just tired or in a
hurry?

1 white male 70 to 80
1 white female under 5
1 white female 10 to 15

Number of family employed in manufactures

This is exactly as the census reads. Seems
that the "white female

female 20 to 30 or 30 to 40" to
count
Lorena.

never completely healed but closed over some

eruption on his other foot appeared. This
resulted in blood

General Notes:Sherman T Dodge was a Dr. He
had worked at the
Riverside Sanitarium in the Hamilton Il area,
as had his father,
Thomas J. Dodge. The Riverside Sanitarium
had burned down around
1900. Dr. Dodge's family was living in St.
Louis during the
World's
Fair there in 1904. Dr. Dodge met another
Dr. from Corpus
Christi,
Texas who told him that doctors were needed
in Texas. Dr. Dodge
and
his wife went to Texas to check it out. He
really liked the water
and the fishing, so they stayed.
Sherman's middle name starts with a T, but
has been reported as
both
Tecumseh and Thomas. His granddaughters,
who were taken care of
by
their grandma, Mary Pence Dodge, for a number
of years following
the
death of their mother, clearly remember being
told that Sherman's
middle name was Thomas, after his father.
Have not found any
documents with anything other than a T, so
far.

happy
about it. Mary Mabel's father also sent her
to business
school. As an adult, she worked as a secretary
for the city
of
Corpus Christi, TX, and taught music. Mary
Mabel's hair was
long enough for her to sit on. She did not
cut it short
until
about 1928, after she became ill.
