AN OLD BOATMAN DEAD.

Captain Jimmie Dodge-Well known
Character at Block Island
The Norwich Bulletin contained the
following yesterday concerning the
death of well known old boatman at
Block Island.
Summer visitors at Block Island will
hereafter miss Captain Jimmie Dodge,
the veteran one-armed pilot and boat
man. After long illness he died at $3.50
a. m. Wednesday. He died on the fifty
third anniversary of his marriage, and
the preceding Monday was the seventy
first anniversary of his birth. He mar.
ried at the early age of eighteen Miss
Sallie Healy of Wakefield, r. H. and his
death is the first to occur in his family.
He leaves widow and six children,
Captain Jimmie, although he was
crippled in early life by an accident, los
ing an arm and an eye, and iniuring one
leg so that it was considerably short
ened, was for. forty years or more an
able, robust man of unusual physical
power, an excellent pilot, boatman and
fisherman. The easy manner in which
he made one hand do the work of two
was marvellous. and he was known to a
very large contingent Oh the summer
population of Block Island, as we'll as
to a great number of shipmasters and
owners.
Captain Jimmie had enjoyed for many
years a local celebrity for his weather
predictions. He did not attempt to
forecast the weather weeks and months
in advance, nor did he pretend to base
his predictions on scientific deductions,
but a long life devoted to maritime
pursuits had taught him many things
about the weather not known to the
average individual. and his predictions
for twenty-four hours or so ahead were
usually verified Crippled though he
was, and following an occupation which
demands in an unusual degree physical
strength, activity and staying power,
he brought up comfortably his family
of six children, and saw them all marry
and acquier homes of their own Seven
grandchildren and a great grandchild
survive him. 30 ''-'- 80
