OBITUARY.

DODGE.

At 11 o'clock this morning occurred the death of Mrs. Eliza M. Dodge at the home of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Worth Dodge, of 1104 Iowa street. Deceased had not enjoyed good health for about two years but five weeks ago she suffered from an attack of the grippe, since which time she has been in critical condition until the last life came to relieve her of all her earthly suffering. Mrs. Eliza M. Dodge was born in Vermont, May 17, 1828 and was accordingly nearly 66 years of age. She came to Davenport with her sister in 1849 and taught in the public schools for some years. She was married January 1, 1860 to the late Capt. LeRoy Dodge. She was one of the first members of Trinity church; was its fifteenth organist and was a chorister in the church with Judge T.D. Eagel years ago. Capt. Dodge died in 1871. Mrs. Dodge had lived in Buffalo for several years past but came here to spend the winter with Mrs. Worth Dodge. She had but one child, the late Worth Dodge, who died in 1891, a daughter, Miss Alice, surviving him. Mr. Frank L. Dodge is a step son. A brother and sister still live in her native state. Funeral will occur at 1104 Iowa street at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon. Rev. E.C. Paget and Rev. Dr. Hoyt officiating. Interment at Oakdale cemetery.
