Description

Excerpt from Tribute of the Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York<br/><br/>Mr. Dodge was born in this City on February loth, 1832, and died on the 9th of August last. He inherited from his distinguished father (the twenty-second Presi dent of the Chamber) eminent qualities as a philanthro pist, and, like him, was a successful and an honorable merchant. He was the founder of the Young Men's Christian Association of this City, and was the patron and promoter of many useful and beneficent institu tions. He had a talent for enduring friendship. He was the friend of all good men, and was conspicuously sympathetic and helpful to young people who were striving to find a useful career. His gifts, public and private, often concealed from observation, were princely and Wisely administered. He was a diligent student of public questions, and had a large and well selected library, Where many of his leisure hours were spent. He disliked strife, and was by nature and inclination a peace-maker. Upon all occasions Mr. Dodge was the courteous and cultivated Christian gentleman. Without intruding upon the privacy of his home life, we may be permitted to say that in these surroundings Mr. Dodge's life was ideally serene and beautiful.
