Heflin, Cleburne Co., Alabama

NEWSPAPER Issue of Thursday, APRIL 13, 1939

DEATH CLAIMS E. P. DODSON

Edward Pendleton Dodson, age 49, associate editor of the Cleburne News, who 
died Monday morning at 4:10 o'clock in a Veteran's Hospital in Atlanta, were 
conducted at the Methodist church on Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, with the 
Rev. W.D. Bowling and the Rev. Roy Niager in charge. Interment was at 
Edwardsville, directed by Brown - Service of Heflin.

Mr. Dodson who had lived in Heflin for many years since the World War, had 
been in declining health for several years, but his sudden demise in the 
Veteran's Hospital came as a distinct shock to members of his family and 
friends.

He enlisted in the service of his country immediately after war was declared 
in 1916 and spent two years in France, being among the first American 
doughboys to reach Europe. He was assigned service in the Signal Corps and 
attached to the famous 82nd division.

He was a member of the Cleburne County Post of the American Legion and a 
member of the George N. Meredith Post of Veterans of Foreign Wars, at 
Anniston. He took an active interest in affairs of veteran's organizations.

After his return to the States, he re-entered the employ of the Troy Herald 
and Troy Printing Company and later entered the newspaper business with his 
father, the late C.F. Dodson in publishing the Cleburne News. He was active 
in this work up to several months ago when his health forced him to retire.

Surviving are his mother Mrs. C.F. Dodson; two brothers, R.A. Dodson of 
Heflin and M.N. Dodson of Troy; three sisters, Mrs. J.P. Robinson and Mrs. 
W.O. Steele of Atlanta, Ga. and Mrs. Lucyle Kingsley of Troy.
