ELIZA B. DODGE.
Mrs. Eliza B. Dodge departed this life Saturday, Oct. 20th, 1900. She was born in Orange county, Vermont, March 9th, 1820, making her age at the time of her death 80 years and seven months. She had been in poor health since early spring, being confined to her bed through all the warm weather, and many times seemingly at the point of death. But after the cooler weather of fall, she rallied so that for several weeks she had been about the house, and for the few days immediately proceeding her death, had seemed to be as well as any time for years. About an hour before her death, she called her son and asked for some medicine, saying she was finding it difficult to breathe at the same time remarking that her end was drawing near, and so it proved. Mrs. Dodge was the mother of five children, four of whom survive her. She also leaves three sisters and one brother. The funeral services were held Tuesday, Oct. 23d, and interment was made in the Rich Valley cemetery.
