THOMAS A. DODDS
(Contributed)
Thomas Armstrong Dodds was
buried in Clinton Cemetery on
Monday, March 15, 1948. He pas-
sed away Friday evening, March
12, in the West Suburban Hos-
pital, Oak Park, Ill., after a two-
year illness, although he had en-
joyed reasonably good health
until he entered the hospital six
weeks before his death.
Deceased was born near Win-
throp, Huron County, in 1877,
married Susan Bromley, Londes-
boro, Huron County, in 1903, and
their first son was born in Decem-
ber 1904. A second son died in
infancy a few years later.
Mr. Dodds was the son of Ellen
(Dorrance) and Peter Dodds and
brother of Mary, Nancy, Helen
and Clarissa.
In 1909 he moved to Chicago
and was employed by the Chicago
Belting Co. for 39 years. For the
last 20 years, he was Plant Sup-
erintendent, direct assistant to the
president, and his reputation and
knowledge of leather was respect-
ed throughout the entire industry.
According to the company's presi-
dent, his passing will be keenly
felt, as he was an acknowledged
expert• and craftsman of the old
school. He purchased their leath-
ers and was responsible for
standards and manufacturing
methods.
The late Mr. Dodds leaves a
multitude of relatives and friends
throughout Canada and the Unit-
ed States. The possessor of a
frank, friendly and generous na-
ture, and a life-long habit of
saying nothing unless it was good
-had endeared him to everyone.
He never lost his ability to know
and understand the younger gen-
eration --a quality that kept him
younger than his 71 years.
