Dr. and Mrs. Lodge are well known here, they having spent summers here not many years ago.
Dr. Lodge was born in Fulton county, Pennsylvania, March 22, 1832. He was a descendant of Robert Lodge, of England, who came to this country with William Penn in 1682. One of his sons settled later in Loudoun county, Virginia, and it was to this Virginia branch that Dr. Lodge belonged.
Dr. Lodge was graduated from the University of Maryland in 1859. Shortly after this he became surgeon in the United States Navy, and was stationed at the Pensacola Navy Yard when it was seized by the Confederates at the outbreak of the Civil War. Afterward was assistant surgeon in the United States Army, and was stationed at Point of Rocks Hospital, near Petersburg, when the war closed.
After the war he practiced in Missouri and Kansas until his health failed, when he returned to Baltimore and lived here in retirement until his death.
For a number of years he had made extensive researches in Maryland genealogy and was well known and often consulted by those were interested in family history. At the time of his death he had ready for publication a genealogy of the Cockey family and its connections. He had also prepared a similar genealogy of the Lodge family.
In 1862 Dr. Lodge married Virginia Harrison Cockey, a daughter of the late Judge Mordecai Gist Cockey, of Carroll county, who was a member of the Maryland Constitutional Convention of 1851. She survives him.
His son, Prof. Gonzalez Lodge, of Columbia University, New York city, the classical author and editor, is associated with Professor Gildersleeve, of Johns Hopkins University, in the publication of the Gildersleeve-Lodge Latin series of text-books.
