He graduated from Crosby High School in the class of 1932, an honor student and president of his class in the Junior year. Later he graduated from Austin-Cate Academy in New Hampshire and spent one year at the University of Maine. He was a member of the Baptist Church in Belfast.
July 28, 1936, he was united in marriage to Miss Marguerite Jackson of Belfast, who survives him with two little boys, Donald, about 23 months, and Richard, 2 months, also his father and mother Mr. And Mrs. Donald J. Dodge of Northport; one brother, Miles Dodge, his grandparents Mr. and Mrs. James Dodge of Wiscasset; several aunts, uncles and cousins and a host of friends, to whom his sudden and untimely death came as a great sorrow. Rev. William Vaughan was the officiating clergyman at the funeral held at his parents' home Wednesday afternoon and the bearers were from the Crosby High class of '32, Philip Horne, John Doloff, Charles Hahn and Evan Holt. The interment was in the East Northport Cemetery.
Mr. Dodge was working with his father-in-law, Alphonso Jackson of Belfast, and was using a tractor on the Paul farm in Morrill where he had been employed for two years. The tractor was caught in a soft place and in attempting to release it, poles had been placed under the front wheels and this caused the machine to tip back and crush him to the ground.
Dr. O.S. Vickery, Waldo County Medical Examiner, with Deputy Sheriff Ralph A. Light were called to investigate the accident and report it was without a doubt instant death. It required thirteen men to remove the tractor from his body.
