From Friday 30 December 1909 McCook Tribune:

Death of E.A. Dodge-
Elisha A. Dodge, father of Mrs. M.E. Hartman passed away at his home 8 miles southwest of McCook, Monday morning. Funeral services were held at the farm home, Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Bryant Rowe, after which the remains were brought to McCook and interred in Riverview cemetery.

Obituary-Elisha A. Dodge was born in Crawford Co., Pa., October 1, 1835. In that state and New York he spent his boyhood and early manhood. At the age of twenty eight, on June 24, 1863, he married to Liva Pixley at Oneida, N.Y. After a short residence there the young couple moved to Illinois, not far from Galesburg. Here was born the first child a daughter, who at an early age was taken home. After they moved to LaSeuer Co., Minn. just after the great Indian out break. Here was born the last child, another daughter, Myrtle. From here he moved his family to Kansas, near Hutchinson, crossing the prairies as before in a covered wagon. Here they settled down on a homestead, enduring the hardships of a pioneer life and a residence thirty-five miles from a railroad. Thence they moved to Iowa, to Missouri and in 1899 came to Red Willow county. Here the loving wife and mother after a lingering illness followed the daughter home. Since that time the father has resided with the younger daughter, Mrs. M.E. Hartman, who was permitted to administer to him in his last short illness. Besides rearing his own family, he took into his kind heart and generous home an adopted boy, Bert, who with the grandchildren were with him when he passed away, December 27, aged 74 years 2 months and 27 days. He has been a member of the M.E. church since early manhood, a sincere Christian, a fond father and husband, a beloved "Grandpa" to all who knew him, always forbearing and kind and above all patient. Besides the son and daughter and three grandchildren residing here there are left one brother and several sisters to mourn his loss. CARD OF THANKS-We wish to thank those who have been so kind in our late bereavement, the loss of a beloved father and grandfather. Mrs. M.E. Hartman and Family, A. Dodge.
