ae. 81-5-9. Mr. Dodge and his first wife are interred in Pleas- ant Street cemetery at Bristol.
John W. Dodge was born on a farm and was the youngest of 10 children. At the age of 17 he became manager of the farm and main support of the large family, in which there were several invalids and incapacitated persons, but by rigid econ- omy and untiring industry, he carried the load for many years with only a few dollars' aid from the town when an unfortunate brother necessarily became an inmate of an asylum. This slight assistance he early resolved to make good to the town which he did many fold by endowing a free bed in Hitchcock hospital at Hanover for the use of the poor and unfortunate of the town. His substantial aid to several members of the family less fortu- nate than himself continued through his entire life and through his wise forethought and generous provision, succeeding gener- ations are enjoying his munificence. The worthy poor and un- fortunate ever found in him a generous and unostentatious friend.
Mr. Dodge's school advantages were, necessarily, very limited, but having a great fondness for reading and a very retentive memory, he became well-informed and an entertaining conversationalist on almost any subject. Being an independent thinker and naturally skeptical, he investigated every subject of importance to his own satisfaction and then was ready to give reasons for his conclusions. As a strong Democrat, his faith was based upon conclusions after deep study of the political history of our country and formation of the government. Though his family were of the " old school " Baptist faith, Mr. Dodge's religious views were very broad and liberal and he affiliated with the Universalists. In social, as well as business life, his high moral character and strict integrity was never questioned. His word was as good as his bond. It was his firm belief that every man should endeavor to make the world better for having lived in it, and, unquestionably, his efforts in that direction were successful.
When about 32 years of age, Mr. Dodge became interested in a country store in Hanover and continued the business with different partners till about 1865, when he moved to Enfield and was employed by A. Conant, as assistant manager of Shaker Mills, manufacturing hosiery and flannels. When Mr. Conant retired, two years later, Mr. Dodge formed a partnership with D. L. Davis and Samuel Williams, the firm running the mills till 1873, when Mr. Williams retired, and Dodge, Davis & Co. succeeded, Henry C. Whipple becoming a member. This firm continued to run the mills till 1885, when the machinery and business were moved to Bristol.

THE DOLLOFF FAMILIES
I. The Dolloffs are supposed to be of Russian stock, as the name indicates. Abraham Dolloff, who settled in Bristol, was b. Aug. 27, 1768, in Rye as is supposed. He was the son of Nicholas and Sally (Clough) Dolloff. His father d. when he was about ten months old, and he was given a home by Abram Hook, Esq., a wealthy farmer in Kingston, who is said to have overworked and abused him. When 16 years of age an uncle called to see him on his way from Portsmouth to his home in Andover, and Abraham took the opportunity to accompany' him home. Here he met Rachel Locke, of Sandown, who was b. in Rye, Oct. 15, 1772, and they were married Nov. 28, 1793. She was the dau. of Levi. A brother, Benjamin, had already made his home in Bridgewater. Abraham and his bride settled in the Locke neighborhood. He was a carpenter as well as farmer and built the house that was afterward the home of Benjamin Locke. The first child of Abraham and the first of Benjamin were b. in the same room, became man and wife, and both d. in the same room though in another home, at the close of a long life. After the birth of his first child, Abraham moved to near the Prescott farm in Bridgewater, where he remained about 16 years and then returned to the Locke neighborhood, where he built, on the Dolloff farm, the large two-story farmhouse still standing, the best set of buildings in town when completed. The material for this building he cut on the farm, drew the logs to the saw-mill at Profile Falls, had them sawed into lumber, and then drew it back. On this farm he passed the remainder of his life and here d. May 15, 1855, after nearly 62 years of wedded life, ae. 86-8-18 ; she d. May II, 1860, ae. 87-6-26. He was a man of strong and unique personality. When nearly 70 years of age, he discarded the use of cider and united with the Methodist church, and at 80 discarded tobacco.

been a farmer, drover, and dealer in meats. He commenced at 17 years of age to buy and sell cattle, and continued this for many years. He bought largely in Vermont, New Hamp- shire, and Canada, and drove his herds to market. In 1865, the tariff being unfavorable for importing live stock, he shipped dressed beef to the states. In 1862, he opened the first meat market in Bristol, and later had markets also in Franklin and Tilton. He continued in the meat business in Bristol till June, 1899, his business career covering a period of 64 years. He has been a member of the Methodist church in Bristol for 75 years, and was a class leader for 25 years, and is still a member of the official board of that church, having filled this position for nearly 62 years.
