MR. DODGE DYING—Distinguished Episcopal Preacher at Death’s Door. Brunswick, Ga., August 19.—(Special.)—News comes from St. Simon’s tonight that Rev. A.G.P. Dodge, one of the most prominent and wealthy Episcopalians in the south, is lying seriously ill at his home near the mills. Rev. Mr. Dodge is a noted worker in the Episcopal church, and is regarded as the most prominent man in the Georgia diocese next to the bishop. He has devoted his life, fortune and his talents toward doing good, and has accomplished more for the cause of humanity than many men of his age, who are interested in similar work. At the last meeting of the church officials he was unanimously elected a delegate from Georgia to the general conference, which meets in Washington this year. At his home on St. Simon’s Mr. Dodge has established an orphans’ home of this [sic] own, and there cares for and educates fourteen little children. His philanthropy is noteworthy, and he is generally regarded as one of the best men in this country. Personally he is very wealthy and has spent fortunes in building churches, contributing to church funds, establishing schools and doing good in like manner. [Tombstone says he died 20 August 1898--ALH] Additional Comments: More Glynn County Genealogy & History can be found at File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/ga/glynn/obits/d/dodge9773gob.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/gafiles/ File size: 2.1 Kb
