Alfred Wilson Dodge, an old resident of Louisville, on the town line near the St. Lawrence river, died last Wednesday night, after a final illness of five days, although he had been in poor health for two years. The funeral was held Saturday afternoon, Rev. E. E. Day of Louisville, officiating, interment at Louisville Landing. Alfrew W. Dodge was a son of the late Eli Dodge and was born on Long Sault Island July 19, 1840, being one of a large family of children. About 1845 the family moved to what has always since been known as Dodge's Landing and Alfred purchased the farm just across the line in Louisville some years later. In 1860 he married Maria Whitman, of Dickinson, and to them were born three children, all living, Mrs. Albert Simser of Louisville, Newel Dodge, of Moira, and Mrs. Charles Burnap of Moira. His wife died in 1866, and in 1867 he married Miss Malinda E. Dewey of Louisville, and to them were born twelve children, of whom eight are living, Truman of Lebanon, N. H., Hiram G., of Ogdensburg, Anson E., of North Hartland, Vt., Fred G., of Windsor, Vt., Mrs. F. E. Dailey, of North Hartland, Vt., Mrs. Frank Richards, of Louisville, Mrs. H. H. Bellows, of Tupper Lake, and Mrs. J. F. Day, of Bombay. This wife died April 20, 1887. November 9, 1888 he married Miss Lillian A. Brown, of Osnabruck, Ont., who survives with three sons, Ray, Ward, and Myron. It is a curious fact that he and James Richards were born within a mile of each other, always lived in the same neighborhood, were nearly of an age, and were buried the same afternoon.
