Joel Palmer DODGE
Joel Palmer DODGE was born on November 8, 1820, in Truxton, N. Y., and departed this life January 11, 1911, at Columbus, Ohio, aged 90 years, 2 months and 3 days. Interment at west Unity January 14, 1911.
Mr. DODGE moved with his parents to Medina county, Ohio, in 1839, where he lived until 1853 and where on October 17, 1843 he was married to Mary Ann VINCENT. To this union were born five children, Emma, May, Sidney, Clara and Ida; three of whom, with his beloved wife preceded him to the Great Beyond.
In 1853 he moved to Williams Center, Ohio, where he was a respected and influential citizen for many years. Later he went to West Unity to live with his son, Sidney. While at West Unity he became one of the charter members of the Church of Christ of that place and continued until death.
He leaves to mourn his departure, one daughter, Mrs. Mary KNEPPER of Angola, Ind., and one son, Sidney, of Columbus, Ohio, twenty grandchildren and twenty-four great grandchildren, together with many friends. He was connected with church work from early manhood and with a firm resolve to show the way of the Lord more perfectly, he searched the scriptures daily and was rewarded with a knowledge and understanding of the bible attained by but few men. His faith in God remained firm until the end and we who are left, while we shall miss his presence from among us, feel certain that he made his calling and election sure, and that if we are faithful we shall find him waiting to greet us when we shall have crossed over the "river" to the "other shore" where there shall be no more parting.
