DODGE.--The sad intelligence reached our village early on the morning of Tuesday, March 10, 1908, of the death of Mrs. Wayne Dodge, which occurred at her late home in Buffalo at 10:00 o'clock Monday night. Although Mrs. Dodge had been under the care of a physician for some time, her condition up to a short period before her death was not alarming, and recovery was expected. During Saturday and Sunday the symptoms changed rapidly, and Monday the physician pronounced the case hopeless. A telegram was sent to her daughter, Miss Mary Dodge, who was attending Mt. Holyoke College. She left for home immediately, but upon her arrival her mother had passed from this life into that of a higher one. Lillie Zent Dodge was the daughter of Philip J. and Hannah W. Zent. She was born in this village October 13, 1853, Her girlhood days were spent at the family home here. On October 3, 1873, Rev. J. B. Wright performed the ceremony that united her in marriage to her surviving husband, Mr. Wayne Dodge. Eleven children were born to them all of whom are living with the exception of one, as follows: Miss Louise Dodge, Mr. Philip W. Dodge, Alvan (deceased), James, Mary, Jeanette, Frank, Charles, Alice, Lillian and Harry. This happy home has been invaded. The mother's life work has been done faithfully and well. She is at rest, and we could not ask to have it done otherwise. The hearts of all are now throbbing in deepest sympathy for the bereaved family who have been reared under the loving influence of a devoted and Christian mother. The memory of her faithful love and care will linger in their fond hearts forever. Mrs. Dodge was a faithful member of the Methodist Episcopal church, in which belief her family had been raised, all of whom are devoted to their religion. That Mrs. Dodge had a large circle of friends was evidenced by the large assemblage who gathered the Wednesday following her death to witness the last sad duty to be performed. The floral offerings were beautiful and in great abundance, coming from friends with sympathetic hearts for those in grief. After the Methodist Episcopal service at the late home by Rev. Davis of Trinity, the remains were taken to Forest Lawn Cemetery, where, with a brief prayer by Rev. Johnson, and amid the sobs and tears of the weeping ones left to mourn, the faithfull, the devoted mother, the kind and thoughtful friend, was laid away to await the resurrection of the just.
