General Notes: Husband - Dr. Elias F. Dodd, M.D.


He passed his youth on the home farm until the year 1841, then he entered Washington College, from which he was graduated in 1848. After his graduation he at once began the study of medicine, commencing to practice in 1853, and followed the profession, coming to be regarded as one of the leading physicians of Washington County, Pennsylvania.
He was a leading member of the Whig and Republican parties, and was a justice of the peace.

In 1841 he entered Washington College and was graduated in 1848, then studied medicine and entered upon practice in 1853, marrying in the same year and settling in Franklin Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, where he continued his professional work for over a half century. He was identified with the Washington County Medical Society and was numbered with the most able exponents of the science of medicine in all that section. Covered with professional honors and bearing the weight of eighty-five prolific years, he passed out of life on September 8, 1908. Dr. Dodd was gifted with a natural talent for music and was a fine performer on musical instruments, especially the violin and organ, with which he frequently banished the sorrows that sometimes weighed him down, when all his care and skill could not keep the inroads of disease from proving fatal. He also found recreation in looking after his agricultural affairs to some extent. [TCHWWC, 931]
