IN MEMORIAM “Dr. Nehemiah Dodge, for many years a practitioner of Milwaukee, died on Sunday, March 15, 1908, from cerebral embolism. He had been suffering for several years from hemiplegia, a result of a previous attack, and had by reason of this not been in active practice for that time. He was buried in the village cemetery in Wauwatosa. Dr. Dodge was born in Mount Joy, Pa., the son of a Presbyterian clergyman then conducting a seminary in that place. On his being graduated from the Jefferson Medical college at Philadelphia, he served as an interne in Blockley hospital, and for a time in the insane department. He came west in 1880, taking a position as an assistant physician in the then newly opened hospital for the insane of Milwaukee county….After several yeas of service there he entered the practice of medicine in Milwaukee, working in general practice though with particular attention to nervous and mental diseases, often retained as an expert in insanity cases. In practice he was able and conscientious, never lured by commercial gain. He was persistently uncompromising in placing principle above profit. Generous to a fault, giving his time and strength gratuitously to the poor and often to the rich, he exemplified the old fashioned ministerial side of the medical profession…” by Wm. F. Becker (The Wisconsin Medical Journal, Volume VI, June 1907 – May 1908)
