   EUNICE DODGE, BISHOP'S WIFE DIES IN FLORIDA
   Eunice Davis Dodge, wife of retired Bishop Ralph E. Dodge, and a native of Fredonia, died suddenly at her home in Dowling Park, Florida, on December 18 [1982], following a heart attack.  Her age was 72.
   Born in Fredonia, she graduated from Little Valley High School [sic, should be Salamanca High School], where she later taught French and English.  She was a member of Little Valley M.E. Church before her marriage to Bishop Dodge.  She earned a bachelor's degree from Taylor University and a master's degree from Hartford Seminary.
   Mrs. Dodge served with her husband as a missionary in Angola doing educational work from 1936 to 1950.  When he returned to the United States to become African secretary [Secretary for Africa] of the Board of Missions, she worked as a private secretary to Charles Ranson of the International Missionary Society and then in the Africa office of the National Council of Churches.  She was editor of the Africa Christian Advocate from 1956 to 1968.
   During the latter period, Mrs. Dodge served with her husband as he supervised United Methodist work in Angola, Rhodesia, and Mozambique. Following this she was field treasurer for three years in Zambia for the Board of Missions while he was chaplain at Mindolo Ecumenical Foundation in Kitwe.  They were again in Rhodesia during the independence struggle when it became Zimbabwe.
   In a letter of Rev. and Mrs. Harvey Taylor of Faith UMC/Lancaster, Bishop Dodge expressed his praises to God "for the many happy years we have had together living on three continents.... But above all, we praise God for the memory of a faithful wife, a loving helpmate, an exemplar mother, a responsive neighbor, a thoughtful friend.  That was Eunice.  She was ready for the call when it came so unexpectedly."
   Eunice Davis Dodge is survived by a brother, James Davis of East Randolph; a sister Harriett of Ann Arbor, Michigan; two sons, Ralph Edward, Jr., of Inverness, Fla., and Clifford Russell; and two daughters, Mrs. Lois A. Steward [sic] of Springfield, Mo., and Margaret Jean.

   DAVIS-DODGE  --  At a quiet home wedding on Thursday, June 28, at three o'clock, Miss Eunice E. Davis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd J. Davis of Little Valley, New York, and Rev. Ralph E. Dodge of Boston, Mass., son of Mrs. Ernest Dodge of this place, were married by Rev. Frank A. Wimer, pastor of the First M.E. church.
   As members of the immediate family and intimate friends gathered, Miss Roberta O. Bennet entertained on the piano.  Mrs. Dorothy Dye sang "At Dawning" and Ernest Bessell sang "O, Promise Me."  To the strains of the Lohengrin wedding march, played by Miss Bennett, the bridal party descended the open stairway to meet the groom and his attendants before a mantel massed with flowers.  Miss Harriet E. Davis, sister of the bride, acted as bridesmaid and descended first.  She wore a gown of pale muslin de soie and carried a colonial bouquet of pink roses. Following her came the maid of honor, Miss Martha E. Curry, wearing a gown of delicate green crepe and carrying a colonial bouquet of yellow roses.  The bride, wearing white satin and a veil of illusion and carrying a shower bouquet of white gardenias and lillies of the valley, entered on the arm of her father.  Mr. James F. Davis, brother of the bride, acted as best man and Mr. Charles Bund as second attendant.
   Following the ceremony and informal reception, buffet refreshments were served by the Misses Betty Jacobs, Evelyn Lloyd, and Edythe Cannon.
   The bride went away in a silk suit of grey crepe and navy blue taffeta with navy blue accessories.  The bride and groom are spending a week on Lake Chautauqua after which they will take an extended motor trip through the middle west, stopping at the Century of Progress Exposition and the home of the groom's mother.
   Rev. and Mrs. Dodge will be at home after August 1 at 48 Floral Avenue, Malden, Mass., where Rev. Dodge is pastor of the Forest Dale Community Church.  Both Mr. and Mrs. Dodge were graduated from Taylor University in the class of 1931; since that time Mrs. Dodge has been teaching English and French in the Little Valley high school and Mr. Dodge has been attending Boston University, taking the degrees Master of Arts and Bachelor of Sacred Theology.
