MRS. F. R. DODGE IS DEAD

Mrs. F. R. Dodge died at the home of Chas. Ayler, on west Third street in 
Wichita, September 14 at 7:00 o’clock. Mrs. Dodge has been sick for a year or 
more but has been able to be up and around. Last Wednesday, she went to Wichita 
to visit Mrs. Ayler and at that time was apparently in as good health as usual. 
She was taken with an attack of uremic poisoning, the result of the disease 
with which she was afflicted about 8:00 Sunday morning. Mr. Dodge was notified 
and went over on the early morning train. Opon his arrival there he wired for 
their daughter, Edna, and Dr. McKenzie, who went over on the noon train. Mrs. 
Dodge was almost unconscious when they arrived. She did not recognize her son, 
Clair, who arrived from Fairview, Oklahoma, at 7:00 o’clock last evening. She 
was unconscious from three o’clock yesterday afternoon until death.

Mrs. Dodge was born at Columbus, Ohio, about 47 years ago. She was married to 
Mr. Dodge at Cottonwood Falls. They have two children, a son, Claire, aged 21, 
and a daughter, Edna, aged 17.

Mrs. Dodge was possessed of all the virtues and attributes of a truly good 
woman, a faithful wife, a kind and loving mother and a real friend. Her whole 
life was given to making her home happy and through all her physical 
afflictions she has not complained, but has borne it all patiently and with 
great fortitude. Only those who knew her, those who were acquainted with her in 
her home life can realize what a bereavement it is to the husband, whose loving 
companion she has been for so many years, and to the children to whom she has 
given all the loving administrations and care of the best of mothers.

Mrs. Dodge’s body was brought from Wichita on the 4:00 o’clock train this 
afternoon. The funeral will be held at the Presbyterian church tomorrow 
afternoon at 3:00 o’clock and the services will be conducted by Rev. George 
Harkness. Friends of the family, who wish to see Mrs. Dodge for the last time 
may call at the home tomorrow from 10 to 11 a.m. The casket will not be opened 
at the church.
