Cedartown Standard, Thursday, March 21, 1918
Mr. Jos. H. Dodds, one of Cedartown’s most highly esteemed and veteran business 
men, passed away Saturday night, aged seventy years. He had been in failing 
health for some time. Mr. Dodds had spent all his life in Polk, and was one of 
our best citizens. He was born at VanWert, and came to Cedartown in early life. 
In 1874 he was united in marriage with Miss Della Bunn, who with one daughter, 
Miss Myrta, survives to mourn his loss. Four other children died in infancy. He 
leaves a sister and two brothers, Mrs. R. H. Marchman, Messrs. J. A. and Cal 
Dodds. For many years Mr. Dodds has been successfully engaged in the hardware 
business. He served the city for a number of years as a faithful member of the 
School Board, and at the time of his death was a Trustee of the First Methodist 
church, and a Director in the Commercial Bank. He was a member of Caledonia 
Lodge, F. & A. M. Funeral services were conducted at 11 a.m. Monday at the 
residence on Stubbs street by his pastor, Rev. W. T. Hunnicutt, assisted by 
Rev. J. D. Larkins, and the remains were laid to rest in Greenwood cemetery. 
Mr. Dodds was universally liked and respected, and his death is sincerely 
mourned by the community, and deep sympathy is felt for the bereaved family.
