WILLIS E. DODGE
Willis E. Dodge, 69, formerly of Princeton, and pastor of the Pittsfield Federated Church in Pittsfield, Vt., died June 10 in Auburn, Maine, while he and Mrs. Dodge were visiting her brother, Henry Dunn.
Mr. Dodge was born in Calais, but, from the age of nine, his youth was spent in Princeton, where he was educated in the public schools.
He was an honor graduate of Hebron Academy, and of Bowdoin College, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in his junior year.
He served as principal of Princeton High School, as well as superintendent of the Congregational church school for several years. He was principal of Branford, Conn., High School and during World War I was in chemical warfare service at Lakewood, N.J.
He was also principal of the high school in Great Neck, Long Island, N.Y., for several years, and then superintendent of the entire school system, remaining there for thirteen years.
In 1942, he accepted the position of instructor in Latin and Greek in Western Reserve Academy, a private school for boys, in Hudson, Ohio, where he remained until his retirement in 1954.
After retiring, Mr. Dodge, still desirous of following some useful occupation, accepted the pastorate of the Federated Church in Pittsfield, Vt., where he served until his sudden death from a coronary attack.
He is survived by his wife, the former Florence Dunn of New Gloucester, Me.; a brother-in-law, Henry Dunn; and several nieces and nephews.
Funeral services were held in his church June 14, with the Rev. Mr. Webster of the Vermont Congregational Conference officiating.
Relatives from Princeton who attended the funeral were: Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Elsemore and son, Dennis, and Mr. and Mrs. Morey Hunnewell of Alexander.
