A. H. DODGE ANSWERS FINAL ROLL CALL

Abner Hubbard Dodge, worthy citizen and highly respected member of the G.A.R., answered the final roll call Monday afternoon, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Jess Parker of Lakeport. While in feeble years, Mr. Dodge has enjoyed fairly good health and was down town several days prior to his death.

He was a native of Jefferson County, New York, and was 83 years, 2 months and 3 days of age. Mr. Dodge has resided in the county almost 11 years. During his residence here he made many admiring friends and associates. He was proud of his service in the ranks of the civil war and was well versed on all topics of the war from the beginning to the end. As a young man he enlisted July 23, 1862, in Company H of the Wisconsin Volunteers and served as a corporal. He was discharged for disability the following year and upon regaining his health, reenlisting the second time, the latter enlistment being with the 40th Regiment of Wisconsin, serving as a sargeant. He was a member of the Eagle Post, G.A.R., Wisconsin.

Mr. Dodge came to California 14 years ago and settled at Hayward. Three years later he moved to Lakeport where he has since resided. About four years ago, his wife, Mary Helen Dodge, passed away in this city.

The funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at the Methodist Church at 2 o'clock and were conducted by Rev. Grenfelt of that church. William Morris, a comrade in the G.A.R. spoke briefly of the enlistment and patriotism of the departed member of the ranks. Only several months ago, Mr. Morris offered a prayer at a birthday party given the aged and now departed comrade. The interment took place at the Hartley Cemetery.
