GRANDMOTHER DODD DIES
Last of Original Scotch Settlers of Tranquillity Neighborhood
Was a Wilson—Born in Scotland—Husband Died in 1896, Soon After Golden Wedding
Grandma Dodd entered into rest last Friday evening, July 11th at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Bicket, of Dinsdale, Mrs. Dodd was the last survivor of that noble band of Scotch people who settled in the Tranquillity neighborhood more than half a century ago. She was a sister of "Uncle John” and “Uncle West” Wilson, so well known. Christina Wilson, daughter of James and Jean Lusk Wilson, was born on the Glossell farm, Ayrshire, Scotland, July 20, 1824. She was married May 12, 1846 to Andrew Dodd. They came to America in 1863. They lived two years in Crystal township, then bought their farm in Grant township that became their well-known home.
Ten sons and three daughters were given. Five sons and two daughters are living: West and Andrew, of Des Moines; James, of Omaha; William, of Montana; Edward, of Grundy Center; Mrs. Thomas Bicket, of Dinsdale, and Mrs. George Brown, of Ireton. All of them but William were at the funeral. The four sons and the two sons in law carried their mother to her last resting place.
The funeral was held Monday noon at the Bicket home in Dinsdale, conducted by her old time pastor, Rev J. M Hamilton, of Monmouth, Illinois, assisted by Rev. Martin, a Dinsdale pastor, and Rev. Christian Haupt, the Amity pastor. “Like the Pity of a Father” and “The Lord’s My Shephard” were sung beautifully by Traer friends—Roland Stoakes, Henry Whannel, Mrs. Carpenter and Miss Jean Brown.
Mr. and Mrs. Dodd celebrated their golden wedding in 1896, and Mr. Dodd died a month later. Mrs. Dodd has had a delightful home in her closing years with her son and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Bicket, of Dinsdale. "And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home.” Mrs. Dodd lived a beautiful life, helpful and sweet to the end.
Her church homes were Tranquillity and Amity. The Bible and prayer gave strength and beauty to her life and she was greatly beloved. A lifelong friend writes: “In every relation Mrs. Dodd was loyal and true, a kind, sympathetic neighbor, a loving, faithful friend.” As she lived so she died, surrounded by the love and care of her children and grandchildren. At peace with God and all the world she fell asleep in Jesus. Surely “a warmer heart death ne’ er made cold.”
