In March 1890, Emily and Isabel Steuart deeded their family farm, Dodon, to the Catholic Church. A small chapel was added to the end of the estate house and weekly services were held there along with Baptisms, Marriages and Funerals. Dodon was sold to Annette Steuart Pittman Wise, who had spent her childhood years at Dodon, on March 14, 1929. The last Mass was delivered at chapel on March 17, 1929 and in April, 1929, the church furnishings were moved to a parishoner's home on Central Avenue where services were held until a new church could be built. On September 29, 1929, the Holy Family Church was dedicated at Davidsonville. According to the book, "From Seminar to Parish; A History of the Holy Family Catholic Church," 13 graves remained at the small cemetery at Dodon. The chapel was was torn down by Mrs. Wise and the house itself, except for one wing, burned down in the 1950s. As of 2019, the cemetery is in very poor repair and quite overgrown with vines and multiflora rose. It is on private property near one of the residences of descendants of Mrs. Wise.
