   POWHATTAN H. DODD, a prominent farmer in Cicero Township, was born on
September 10, 1825, in Virginia, where he remained until he was fifteen years of
age. His father, Joseph Dodd, then removed to Hamilton County, Ind., and spent
the remainder of his life in Hamilton and Tipton Counties. He died in Hamilton
County in 1843, leaving a family of twelve children, of whom our subject was the
eldest, hence the care of the family fell upon him. P. H. Dodd engaged in
farming in Hamilton County till 1859, when he was enabled to buy with his
hard-earned money eighty-five acres of land near Westfield. This he traded for
160 acres in Section 27, Madison Township, and in 1859 moved upon this tract of
timber and prairie land, about ten acres being cleared. Here he opened a farm of
100 acres, and has met with good success. Mr. Dodd was married, September 28,
1847, in Hamilton County, to Miss Lurinda Wilson. They had four children-Lurinda
J., wife of William Ressler; James Preston (deceased); William Melvin
(deceased); and Milburn Jasper, who lived to manhood, and died October 21, 1878,
at the age of twenty-five. Mrs. Dodd died September 18, 1874, and Mr. Dodd was
next married in Tipton County, Ind., September 10, 1875, to Miss Elizabeth
Tingle. He owns four vacant lots in Tipton, and two good farms in the county. He
gave his child a farm of forty acres and he purchased a home of twenty-five
acres north of Tipton, upon which he moved in February, 1876, and let his farms
out to a tenant. He is a highly respected farmer, and he and wife are members of
the New Light Church. Mr. Dodd is a Democrat.
