The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, Thursday, July 25, 1929
The funeral services for Anson Dodds of Saranac, who died in the Travers City 
hospital Monday, were conducted from the Saranac Methodist Episcopal church 
Thursday afternoon by Rev. O. W. Carr.  Mrs. Carr, accompanied by Miss Esther 
Grace Barber, furnished the music.  The interment took place in the Saranac 
cemetery.

Mr. Dodds was born in Boston township May 22, 1854, and with the exception of 
a brief residence in Woodland, and an extended visit with his son Alva, while 
the latter resided in Saskatchewan, he had lived in Boston township, where he 
was admired for his industrious and cheerful nature.  He became a member of 
the U.B. church while still a youth and retained this membership until his 
death.  His years of hard work, coupled with his advanced age, caused a mental 
sickness two months ago, and he was admitted to the hospital for institutional 
treatment.  He had been considered improving, and his death, that came while 
seated at the supper table was very unexpected.

March 25, 1875 he was united in marriage to Catherine Meyers, of Lake Odessa, 
who died in 1909.  Since her death Mr. Dodds had made his home with his 
daughter, Mrs. Eva Higgins, Saranac.

Mrs. Higgins and Mrs. Julia Goff, daughters, of Saranac; Herbert Dodds, of 
Saranac, and Alva Dodds, of Lansing, sons, survive.  He also leaves two 
sisters, Mrs. Ella Meyers, Lake Odessa, and Mrs. Hattie Walker, Lowell, and 
two brothers, Ed, of Saranac, and James, of Lansing.
