Dodd, who has come down to us from the pioneer days, he having spent his life in this locality. Public spirited as a citizen and progressive in all that the term implies, he has forged his way to the front with little aid or influence from others and at the same time has performed his just share of the work of public improvement, consequently his name well deserves a place in this history. Mr. Dodd was born at Adamson's Grove, this county, on July 18, 1852. He is the son of Joseph and Amelia (Million) Dodd. They came to Clear Creek township, Jasper county, Iowa, in 1852, and settled on the wild prairie, where they developed a good farm and here they spent the rest of their lives. There were ten children in the Dodd family, namely: Charles E.; Sarah Jane; William, Mrs. Amelia Stock, George W.; James E.; Samuel P., of this review; Frank J.; Mark; and Fred. Samuel P. Dodd grew up on the home place and when he became of proper age assisted with the work, for there was plenty for all to do in bringing the raw prairie land up to a productive farm. At that time were to be seen the unbroken plains and the un-scarred forests, knowing no sound save that the Indian's whoop and the wanton wail of the wild beast. There was much game. The subject can recall when deer was abundant, droves of large numbers being frequently seen going from one grove to another and wild turkeys were so abundant as to be considered almost a pest. Thither to this wild region came hundreds of poor people from the East and South, seeking homes, and these they soon found themselves in possession of, if they were willing to work. Mr. Dodd has devoted his life to agricultural pursuits and has been very successful. He is now the owner of two hundred acres of choice land in Clear Creek township, which he has placed under modern improvements and on which he carries on general farming on a large scale. He has a modern, well furnished home and many goods farm buildings and he always keeps a good grade of live stock, in fact, he devotes considerable time to buying and selling stock of all kinds. Mr. Dodd has been a member of the school board in his district and he is at present treasurer of the same. Fraternally, he belongs to Unity Lodge No. 520, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, at Baxter, and of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows at Mingo. Both he and his wife are members of the Rebekah lodge, and Mrs. Dodd belongs to the Methodist Protestant church. Politically, he is a Democrat. On March 17, 1878, Mr. Dodd was united in marriage with Margaret Thompson, who was born in Clear Creek township, this county, February 22, 1854. To Mr. and Mrs. Dodd five children have been born, three of whom are living, namely: Mrs. Blanche Tramel; Mrs. Maud Kenyon; Leo; Jesse; and Cloe. There are six grandchildren.
