Dodge, Oliver F., son of Joseph and Ann M. (Brownell) Dodge, was born in the town of Wilna, November 9, 1857.
His summer months were passed in laboring on the farm, while in the winter his youthful mind was turned in the
direction of acquiring those advantages of education which the public schools of the neighborhood afforded. His
father removed to Great Bend in 1866, and he remained at home for some years. In 1881 he married Helen Soults,
of Redfield, Oswego county, by whom he had four children: George C., Ralph 0., Harold A., and Ruth H. Of his father's
family both parents are deceased. Of his two brothers, Walter R. is a resident of Carthage, and Clinton B., of
Great Bend. His sisters are Julia M., wife of F. X. Zapf, of Great Bend, and Nellie L., wife of John McCombs, of
Ogdensburgh, N. Y. In 1870 Mr. Dodge began the paper making business in Great Bend, at thirty cents per day as
a boy apprentice, and has continued to rise steadily until he now fills the position of superintendent of the Taggart
Paper Company. In politics he is a Republican, has been a delegate to district and county conventions, and at the
present time holds the office of justice of the peace. Mr. Dodge holds membership in the following orders: Bethany
Lodge, No. 821, F. & A. M., Riverside Lodge, No. 334, I. O. O. F., of Black River, and Court De Ferret, No.
3,361, of Great Bend, I. O. Foresters.
