Frank and Nettie Dodge lived their lives in Johnson, Lamoille County, Vermont and are buried in Lamoille View Cemetery. We do not know if Cora Dodge Johnson was part of this Dodge family. James S. Wilson and wife and daughter, they are found in the 1880 US Census in Worcester, Washington Co., VT. Elmer E. Brown, wife and daughters, are found in the 1900 US Census in Calais, Washington Co., VT. We do not know if the Wilson and Brown families are related in any way to the Dodge family buried here...or indeed to any Dodge family. If you can help with sorting out the relationship, if any between these families, please contact us. Below is information on the business that Frank and Nettie Dodge owned Today, we at Mansion House still tap trees and boil syrup on the same land that Frank and Nettie Dodge purchased almost 100 years ago. Pure Vermont Maple Syrup...From Mansion House to Your House Dodge's Mansion House Maple Syrup Sugarhouse is a family business that was started in 1903 by Frank and Annjanet (Nettie) Dodge of Johnson, Vermont. Like many Vermont dairy farmers, Frank and Nettie "sugared" during the slow time of the year - the winter months when the Sugar Maple Tree is leaving dormancy and readying for spring. Back then, wooden sap buckets were hung on the trees that are tapped in early March; horses were used to pull the dray carrying the gathering tub through the deep snow; and kerosene lanterns provided meager lighting in the sugarhouse. |
