The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, Monday, August 9, 1932
With the death of Mrs. Helen Phelps Dodge at Fergus Sunday a lineage of five 
generations which has existed for several years has broken.  Mrs. Dodge, Mrs. 
Fleda Eddy, Mrs. Clarence Winchell, and the latter’s children and 
grandchildren constituted this remarkable ancestral line.  Mrs. Dodge at the 
age of 95 died of old age Sunday at the home of her son, Fred M. Dodge.  For 
the past three years she had lived winters with her daughter, Mrs. Eddy.  She 
possessed a keen mind for a person of her age and discussed fluently the 
events of both the past and present.  She was born in Shiawassee county in 
1837 the first white child born in that locality.  Her husband, Horace P. 
Dodge, died 47 years ago.  She was affiliated with the Congregational church 
and the order of the Eastern Star.  Besides her daughter in Ionia, she leaves 
two sons and a daughter, Fred M. Dodge, Fergus; Henry P. Dodge, Whitmore Lake; 
Mrs. Alice Hudson, Royal Oak.

Funeral services will be conducted in the Lainsburg Congregational church at 
2:30 Wednesday.  Burial will be in the Laingsburg cemetery.  Grandsons will 
act as pallbearers.
