ELLA DODGE.
The community has sustained a severe
loss in the death of Miss Ella Dodge,
which occurred at her home on Morris
avenue on Monday afternoon after a
comparatively brief illness, caused by a
cerebral tumor. Miss Dodge was born
in Stamford, Conn, and was a daughter
of the late DR.. j. Smith Dodge. She re
moved here with her family in 1865.
She attended the Misses Emmells school,
afterward pursuing her studies in Ger
many. Upon her return to this country
she entered Vassar College, sophomore
class, graduating in 1876. Miss Dodge
was young woman of lovely Christian
character and broad sympathies. She
succeeded her mother as registrar of the
Children's Home at Parsippany about ten
years ago, and since then she has taken q
very active and helpful part in the man
agement of the home. Upon her de-
volved the duty of providing homes for
the children who were to be bound out.
Miss Dodge's power Of keeping track of
the various children and keeping in
touch with them and their guardians
was very noticeable. Her interest in
practical charity was such that she will
be greatly missed in the town. She was
valued member of the Church of the
Redeemer, a teacher in the Sunday
school and also in the sewing school, and
took large share in the activities of the
church. The funeral of Miss Dodge
took place on Thursday at 2 p. M, from
her late residence on Morris avenue.
The regular service of the Episcopal
Church was used by her rector, Rev. DIR.
Hughes of the Church Of the Redeemer.
/ The high esteem and kindly regard in
which Miss Dodge was held were shown
in the very large attendance which, in
spite of the unusually stormy day, filled
every available space in the house. The
interment was at Evergreen Cemetery
in the family lot.
