There is also a Dodge park and a Dodge pond in Lempster/Marlow, NH. Charlene wrote: 'A Dodge is buried in our very old (the sign says first in the U.S.) Seventh Day Adventist cemetery, just down the road from our home. The headstone is so old it is hard to read but I can contact the Seventh Day folks for any history they might have.

As Charlene has the time she will try to find other Dodge stones that are in the cemeteries in the Lempster/Marlow area of New Hampshire. We know that Asa DODGE, b. 10 Feb 1802 and d. 10 Jan 1803 was buried in the Lempster Cemetery 12 Jan 1803. Our records also show that other members of Isaac Dodge's family are buried in the Lempster Cemetery and hopefully we will soon be able to add photos to this page..
