Deed: Joshua Adams to Ralph Dodds for ?818.5.0, pt (see inst.) 2B-267

Died:
?i?The late Mr. Alexander Dodds Esq.'97?/i?
We are this day under the painful necessity of announcing the death of Mr. Alexander Dodds of Glen Tay, an event which took place last Saturday at 2:30 pm. Mr. Dodds had been suffering from some severe throat problems which latterly developed into tubercular laryngitis. Although he suffered very considerably he bore it all most patiently. To the last, no word of complaint was heard from him and surrounded by most of his relatives he passed quietly away. He leaves a wife and five children to mourn his loss. Mr. Dodds was born in the parish of Carham, Northumberland, where his father for some time farmed the West Work Common Farm now a most beautiful spot on the border between Scotland and England. The family were connected with the Presbyterian Congregation of Coldstream under the charge of Rev. Andrew Thomson, so well known in connection with the origin of the Scottish Bible Society. From their arrival in this country they have been always connected with the Presbyterian Church; and Knox Church congregation will very much miss the friendly counsel and energetic cooperation of Mr. Dodds who was for many years an office bearer and one of the volunteer leaders of the psalmody in that church. As a husband and a father he was tender and affectionate and his family have the cordial sympathy of all in their loss. The late Mr. Dodds was a thorough and consistent Reformer and a powerful worker for his party but though so zealous for the success of the principles which he considered in his heart to be right, he had a host of warm friends among the Conservatives with whom he had worked in harmony in municipal, agricultural and other matters of a local nature. At the time of his death, he held the position of Deputy Reeve of Bathurst and President of the South Lanark Agricultural Society by whom he will be sadly missed. The furtherance of the agricultural interests of this county was one of the chief aims of his life and nothing was too progressive or enlightened in this connection to go beyond his views and sanctions. He and his brother Ralph were the originators and proprietors of the Glen Tay Cheese Factory'97the pioneer one of this county we believe and he was one of the main promoters of the Bathurst and Tay River Macadamized Road, one of the best highways in this county. We have good authority for saying that his latter end was peace, he having expressed a little before his death his confidence in his Saviour. His remains were laid in Elmwood Cemetery and were followed there by a large concourse of friends and acquaintances both from town and country.

?i?Obituary, The late Alexander Dodds?/i?
We regret to have to announce the death, after a long and severe illness, of Alexander Dodds Esq., President of the South Lanark
Agricultual Society and Deputy Reeve and former Reeve of Bathurst Township. Mr. Dodds had for some time been suffering from a severe attack of broncitis and though at times able to be out, had for some months been in a very weak condition, and his decease had not been unexpected. Born in Northumberland, England, on the farm known as the Westwark Common on the borders of Scotland, Mr. Dodds claimed England as his place of birth, his mother being also English. But his father was Scotch and they lived so close to the borders, he partook largely of the Scottish characteristics. When only a year and a half old, he was brought out to this country in 1831 by his father whose name was also Alexander, and he was brought up on a farm on the Scotch Line. For the last 20 years, Mr. Dodds has taken a most prominent part in the affairs of his township and county, always being ready with his great energy and shrewd advice to assist in the local undertakings. Such, for instance, as the cheese factory, which he started at Glen Tay. It was the first in the country in 1870. And the Glen Tay Road Company of which he was the Secretary-Treasurer and which he assisted to make a sound financial scheme. This was the plank road. As a Trustee for the past 20 years of Knox Presbyterian Church, Perth, he has always taken an active part in the management, leading in the singing with Duncan McDonald (they were the Precentors) for many years. His loss will be severly felt by co-religioners. Though an active politician, he, by his moderation and courtesy which he always showed, has always held a high place in the esteem of opponents as well as friends, the more especially, as he was cut off in the prime of life, his age being only 46. A large procession of his friends accompanied his remains to the Elmwood Cemetery.
