3. Obituary for Fannie Harris (Stevens) Dodge from Chaffee County Democrat, May 17, 1919: ‘Fannie H., wife of Nathaniel T. Dodge, died at the family home west of this city last Sunday afternoon, May 11th, at about 4:45 o’clock, after a prolonged illness. Last week Mrs. Dodge was stricken with paralysis which in her weakened condition was followed by fatal results. The funeral was held from the home Tuesday morning, Rev. A.A. Kidder being in charge of the services and delivering an affecting discourse. A large number of friends were present, many of whom followed the remains to their resting place in Buena Vista cemetery. For thirty-nine years Mrs. Dodge had resided with her husband and children in and near Buena Vista. The family came to Colorado in 1880 from Maine, locating and remaining in this part of the valley from that year to the present time. Mrs. Dodge was a woman of fine character who will be sadly missed by the numerous friends acquainted by her during her long residence in this section. She was never without a comforting word for the unfortunate or material assistance for the needy, her actions through life being tempered with charity and humaneness. It is not strange that such a one leaves behind her aching hearts and ineffaceable memories. Fannie H. Dodge became 63 years of age last September, and was born in Pittston, Kennebec County, Maine. Besides her husband, Nathaniel T. Dodge, she is survived by four daughters, Mrs. Clara Morgan, of Canada; Mrs. Rachel Newitt, of Buena Vista; Mrs. Ann Graham of Olympia, Wash.; and Mrs. Frances Fogalsang, of San Francisco; and five sons, Sherman and Alfred Dodge, of California; Edward and Dwight H. Dodge, of Buena Vista; and James R. Dodge, now with the American army of occupation in Germany. All but two of the children, Sherman and Alfred, were born in Chaffee County.
4. Nathaniel T. Dodge was b. May 28, 1848 in Rangeley, Maine, the son of James Dodge (1807-1877) & Rachel Curtis (1806-1877). He was from Skowhegan, Maine, when he married Fannie H. Stevens. They married in Hallowell, Maine, Jan. 3, 1874. Nathaniel passed away Apr. 17. 1926 in Salida, Colorado. From Chaffee County Republican, April 30, 1926: ‘At the Rio Grande Hospital in Salida last Tuesday, N.T. Dodge passed away and the body was brought to Buena Vista and was buried in the cemetery here Thursday Afternoon.’
