BEDFORD MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 1901 DEATH OF G. W. DODSON. G. W. Dodson, a prominent citizen, and among the oldest residents of Mitchell, died at the home of his son-in-law, W. T. Moore, in that city Tuesday night. Mr. Dodson had been identified with the business interests of Mitchell nearly a half century until compelled to retire on account of failing health. His first venture was in the hotel business just before the Civil War, and later going into the drug business which he followed for many years. He served as Trustee of Marion township for a number of years, being elected a number of times at intervals, all of which he filled to the satisfaction of his township and honor to himself. He was a life-long member of the Presbyterian church and lived to see that denomination grow from a very small number to the largest religious congregation in that city. He had served as deacon of his church for many years - being one of the oldest in point of service of that body. He leaves a widow, two married daughters, Mrs. W. T. Moore, of Mitchell, and Mrs. Fannie Davis, who lives in Ohio, besides a number of other relatives and many friends. In the death of Mr. Dodson Mitchell has lost one of her best citizens. His sympathy for the less fortunate struggling humanity always was the key to his pocket book, and many a poor worthy person will recall the aid given them by their deceased friend in their times of trouble. The funeral occurred at Mitchell Thursday. NOTE: George W. Dodson: 20 June 1826 – 16 April 1901. Co. D 112 Regt. Burial at Mitchell City Cemetery, Marion Twp.
