The Ionia Standard, Friday, March 24, 1911
The death of Clara, beloved wife of Alderman George Dodson, occurred at 
hospital in Ann Arbor, on Tuesday evening.  Mrs. Dodson had been at the 
institution some six weeks during which time she underwent three surgical 
operations, the last one on Tuesday, which proved fatal.  The remains were 
brought home Wednesday evening by the husband, who left for Ann Arbor on 
Tuesday evening about fifteen minutes before notice was received here of her 
death.  Beside the husband, deceased is survived by her widowed mother, who 
made her home with her daughter.  Mrs. Dodson was a lifetime resident of the 
county, many years with her husband on the farm in Ronald, but the recent 
years a resident of Ionia, where she was greatly beloved for her many womanly 
qualities and real moral worth.

The funeral of Mrs. George Dodson will be held on Saturday morning at 10 
o’clock from the late residence, 134 West Lincoln Ave., and at 1 o’clock from 
the church in Palo.  The services here will be conducted by Rev. E. E. Branch 
of the Baptist church.  Mrs. Dodson (Clara Wilder) was born in Honeyoye, New 
York state in 1865.  When three years of age her mother, Mrs. Lucy Beals, who 
survives, moved to this state.  Mrs. Dodson was educated at Palo, and united 
with the church with which she has been so long identified in all its 
activities, in 1886.  She was married to Mr. Dodson in Sept. 1882.  Three 
children were born to them, two boys and a daughter.  The boys died in 
infancy, and the daughter, Miss Elsie, a most loveable young woman who had 
adopted school teaching as a profession, and in which she was markedly 
successful, passing on in this city some three years ago.
