"It is said that Henry Dodd, joined with Frederick Dodd, his younger brother in working a farm on shares. This farm was a part of the Sander Patent. His wife Fanny Davis lived here with Frederick during the early years of their married life and Joseph Dodd was born here September 1, 1846.
IN MEMORIAM
FREDERICK DODD, third from the youngest of the children of William H., and Mary Dodd, was born near Wilburs Basin, Saratoga county, N.Y., Nov. 8, 1820.
He converted in 1857, under the ministry of Asaph Shurtliff, now departed, but then pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church, at Quaker Springs, NY. Knowing he had met with a great change in his heart, being soundly converted, he at once connected himself with the church, of which he had been a faithful and live member, ever since. The church honored him with most of her important offices, which he served with great efficiency. It was his particular delight and enjoyment to do something for God and the church. He attended the public services regularly, and even after his physical health began to fail, he could be seen in his accustomed place in church, until the last year of his life, when he expressed much sorrow at being deprived of these means of grace. The Sunday morning prayer-meeting found him in his place, as long as he was strong enough to attend. He contributed liberally of his earthly means to the support of the gospel, believing, as he did, that the Lord needed money as well as time and talent, for the advancement of His cause. In him the ministry always found a hospitable brother, and a wise counsellor.
He was married to Fanny Davis, in 1844, and chose farming as his occupation. He began at once by working a farm on shares, which he continued to do until he had acquired sufficient means to purchase land of his own. He was wondrously prosperous in business, and accumulated a large property.
Four sons and seven daughter are the fruit of this marriage, all of whom lived to grow up, and were present at the funeral. His death was caused by consumption, which, for eleven years, had been gradually wearing away his constitution. Most of this brothers and sisters died of the same disease, there being but three living at the time of his death; William, Edward, and Sophia.
His funeral was largely attended, at the church, on Sabbath morning, Nov. 24, 1889. His four sons and sons-in-law acted as bearers, at his request. Rev. S.M. Adsit officiated.
After these services, his remains were borne to Prospect Hill Cemetery, at Schuylerville, and deposited in the receiving vault, where they are to remain until they are removed to their final resting place, at Quaker Springs.
