Anson Dodge, grandson of William Earl Dodge, had a tragic life himself. He lost his first wife, first cousin Ellen, on their honeymoon trip around the world. He stayed with her body in the hot uncomfortable hold of the ship, brought her back, and buried her in front of the pulpit here at Christ Church, St. Simons Island, Ga. She was later removed to the cemetery, accompanied there by other Dodges and John Forsyth, killed in the Dodge Land and Timber Trouble.
