Chester P. Dodge (1884-1890)

A copy of the following unidentified newspaper article was found in a scrapbook owned by Town Historian Richard Schmal:
    Chester P., son of Paul and Ellen Dodge, died March 14, 1890, aged 6 years, 2 months and 29 days. He was the only son of these parents, and the idol of their hearts. His bright sunny life made them hopeful for his future, but he was taken from them to the better home. We will say of him, sweet child, though we cannot see thee, we know thow art safe "For of such is the Kingdom of Heaven."

Two of his sisters, Lucretia A. Dodge Clark and Rachel E. Dodge, also died in March 1890.
