HON. THOMAS LEWIS DODGE, M. L. O.


Hon. Thomas Lewis Dodge, third son of David and Phebe (Scott) Dodge, was born in Horton, July 19, 1816. He married (1) Sarah, daughter of Gideon S. and Wilhelmina (Moore) Harrington, and by her had two children, Sarah Wilhelmina, and Brenton Halliburton Dodge, M. P. P. He married (2) Harriet Amy, youngest daughter of John and Anne (Richardson) Hamilton, of Halifax County, born August 3, 1828, a sister of David Stuart Hamilton, D. C. L. By this marriage Mr. Dodge had four sons: Cutler Lewis, Ernest Stuart, George Allison (colonel in the Canadian Army), Harry Hamilton. Hon. Mr. Dodge's eldest son, Brenton Halliburton, M. P. P., has represented the county in the assembly since 1894.


Hon. Thomas Lewis Dodge died October 31, 1893, and the following notice of him appeared in a King's County newspaper, November 8, 1893:


"Hon. Thomas Lewis Dodge, M. L. C., died at his residence in Kentville, at an early hour on Thursday morning. He had been in failing health for some time, and his death was not unexpected by those around him. The news of his demise will be heard with regret in all parts of this county, and of the province as well, for Mr. Dodge was widely and favorably known. He did business for many years on Main street, Kentville. A large building which he erected on that street, near where the Porter House now stands, was de-stroyed by tire in 1976. Mr. Dodge then erected a large store on Webster street, and taking his sons into partnership with him the firm of T. L. Dodge & Co. was formed.

"In 1870, on the retirement of Mr. Daniel Moore from the office of County Treasurer, Mr. Dodge was elected to that position, which he continued to 1886 until the time of his death, being regularly reelected since county incorporation was effected, by an unanimous vote of the Council. In 1882 Mr. Dodge contested the county in the Liberal interest for the local legislature and was returned at the head of the poll. In 1886 he did not seek re-election, and the following year he was appointed to a seat in the Legislative Council. This he held to the time of his death.


"In private life, Mr. Dodge was a genial, kindly gentleman. He had ever a kindly word and hearty greeting for young or old, rich or poor, and he will be sincerely mourned by hosts of personal friends. The family have the sympathy of all in their bereavement, but have the satisfaction of knowing that in every department of life, as a business man, as a politician, as a private citizen, the deceased leaves behind him an untarnished record."
