Age 79 years, 6 months.
Remains removed to Oak Hill Cemetery from the Presbyterian Cemetery on August 25, 1892.
From A Portrait of Old Georgetown
When I was a little girl living across the street on the opposite corner from this house, it was always spoken of as Miss Emily Dodge's. I can remember her well when she would come out on the gallery and walk up and down. She seemed never to go away from the house. She was rather small, had snow white hair in long curls about her face and was usually wrapped in a white shawl. I have been told that she was terribly afraid of fire and burglars, so slept fully dressed. Each morning she bathed and re-clothed herself. At night she lay down and slept as she was. At the time I remember Miss Emily occupied part of the big wing of the enormous house and Allen Dodge and his wife were living in the lower floors of the wing. His wife was quite an invalid and I do not recollect ever seeing her.
After the death of Miss Emily Dodge, the place was sold to close the estate and pulled down, thereby deleting from Georgetown one of its most distinctive and charming features which today would have been invaluable.
