George H. Dodge was the eldest of five children of Ezra Dodge, Jr., and Rhoda (Jewett) Dodge. He died of consumption at age 18. Most records give the date of his death as Nov. 21, 1855. But his gravestone appears to say 1853.
All records agree that George was 18 when he died. One reference, source unknown, says he was born Oct. 7, 1835, which is consistent with a death date of 1853. However, the date of 1855 would seem to be corroborated by the census recorded in Londonderry, VT, Oct. 15, 1850, which gives his age as 13. Pending further research, this memorial repeats the unverified birth date and follows the gravestone's apparent date of 1853.
