- Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, April 3, 1895 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Died - In this village March 26th, 1895, Charles C. Dodge, aged 78 years. This aged and highly respected citizen was born July 31, 1817, at Rodman, Jefferson County, in this state. In the spring of 1825 the family removed to the Greenwood farm, near Port Ontario, in this town. Twelve years later, in 1837, they returned to Jefferson County, settling at Leray, about fourteen miles from Watertown. Again, two years later, Mr. Dodge returned to Oswego County and occupied the Reuben Bennett farm, now better known as the Wesley Woods estate. He was married in June, 1841, to Miss Betsey Goit, and for a short time lived in his father's family. The first housekeeping of the newly married couple was begun in the house built for his brother, Collin Dodge, located on his father's farm. The deceased, in 1847, took possession of the farm, south of Pulaski, now owned by his son, Dwight C. Dodge, and formerly owned, previous to '47, by Riley Jones. Here he resided from '47 to '85, where his wife died, April 30th of the last named date. Three years afterwards he was married to Mrs. Thomas Lamb, who faithfully assisted in caring for him during the decline in health which terminated in his decease. Four sons survive their father, George W. Dodge and D. C. Dodge, of this town and village; John Dodge, of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and William M. Dodge, of Rapid City, South Dakota. The deceased was a man of sterling integrity in all his dealings, and who observed the Golden Rule most carefully. Only good things can be said of him.

Kind Words About A Pulaski Family
EXCELSIOR, Minn., April 17, '95.
MR. EDITOR: I saw in the DEMOCRAT of April 3rd, the notice of the death of Mr. Charles C. Dodge. I had the pleasure of being intimately acquainted with him, as I worked for him on his farm some twenty-five years ago. AndI will say that more honorable and kind hearted people it has never been my pleasure to meet. John and William were then small boys and, of course, were at home. During the time I lived with the family I don't think I ever heard a cross or unkind word pass between them. That is saying a great deal, but it is true. Although wealth and elegance may not exist, yet it is a beautiful home where mutual love and respect rules as it did in that of Mr. Charles Dodge.
F.E. WALWORTH.
