    1. 1000 Cumberland Avenue
    2. Dear Listers: My mother, age 95, now living in California, remembers visiting her great-grandfather Dodge -- the only grandparent she ever knew -- when she was five or six years old. Mom especially remembers her Grandpa's bushy black eyebrows; that memory was corroborated by a newspaper article picture of him at 85 that I found last week at newspaperarchive.com. My research shows that this man, David Curtis Dodge, resided at 1000 Cumberland Avenue by 1905 until his death in 1920 at age 87-4-9. David Curtis Dodge descended from the English emigrant Richard Dodge, Sr. and his wife Edith. "Curtis" Dodge, son of David S. and Sylda (Colvin) (Howlett) Dodge was age 17 in the 1850 census; he was b. 7 Nov 1832, according to his death certificate. It's so amazing to me that I know someone who knew someone who was born 172 years ago! My mother is wondering if there is still a residence at 1000 Cumberland Avenue in Syracuse, whether it is the same home where she visited all those years ago and what the chain of ownership has been since her grandfather died. Does anyone know of a way to find out online whether this address is still a residence? I checked Yahoo and Mapquest, which shows the address on a map. The reverse lookups with which I am familiar require a telephone number. Thanks for any help you can give . . . Diane Wilson Flynn
