Subject: RE: Sylvester Hollister Dodge From: "Monica Hinson" Date: Fri, 3 Oct 2008 10:36:10 -0500 To: "'Barbara Dodge'" CC: "Norman Dodge" Thank you, Barb. I did find the info after I’d given up and emailed you. Although most of the photos are self-explanatory, you probably would like names on the last one. It is Lotus Jeanne Day Roberts, Minnie Mabelle Filson (daughter of Mary Ellen Dodge), Virginia Mary Day Roberts Kelley, Lotus M Day, and Earnest Filson Day on Maybelle’s & Lotus’ 50th wedding anniversary. The large monument stands on the family plot; it was designed and created by Lotus Day, who owned the local monument company. The woman with baby is Mate (Dodge) Filson and Virginia Day. I hope I’ll have more for you next week.

I am looking at it right now, and I see that his first wife was Carriota Tibbets and they had 5 chidren. Right under that is shows his 2nd wife as Mary Ann Goodwin, and they had 3 children...Jonas Goodwin Dodge, Mary Frances Dodge, and Sylester Hollister Dodge. Try looking at the data again.

Next week we’re going to spend a day or two in Beloit to find his grave and dig for more information on his family. I’m not sure what my problem is, but I’m finding it really hard to find records on the Dodge site. I’m confused about Sylvester’s father, Jonas Dodge. You show his wife as Carriota Tibbets and I know for a fact that Mary Ann Goodman married Jonas and is the mother of Sylvester. Was Carriota his first wife and Mary Ann the second (which is what I’m using for now on my data base), or do I have the wrong Jonas? I’m attaching what I have of Jonas’ descendants. I’ve researched much of it, but much is also from online trees – I realize it may not all be accurate. I’m also attaching photos of some of the graves here in Ark City, and a few other photos. One of these days I’ll get it all organized and send more if you are interested. Will get back to you with what we find in Beloit next week; would appreciate your excellent advice, as always, on where I’ve gone astray.
