On Wednseday, May 18, 2000, I visited the Oregon City, OR family history library in search of a record for I. T. DODD, the son of Milton C. Dodd. After finding a very important piece of information, I quickly copied the pages and returned home. I placed a telephone call to Alice who I knew would be excited to hear the news. I knew she would share in the excitement of my findings. Her telephone number however, no longer existed. I asked a friend,DeVere Whitaker, to see if he could find information in the Iberia,MO., area. I feared she had died or maybe had been admitted to a nursing home . He sent 3 phone numbers to me. The first one I talked to was the daughter in law of Alice, Karen Moss. She stated that Alice had passed away on Apr. 9, 2000. Alice had become my friend, as well as being a DODD cousin. She had great knowledge of our Milton C. Dodd family and shared everything she could with me over the last two years of our correspondence by telelphone and mailings. I will always remember what a wonderful and bright person she was and never forget her. I consider myself lucky to have known such a person. This page is dedicated to the memory of Alice P. Moss, who inspired me to keep looking for "James DODD from Ireland." I promise you Alice, I will do my best. |
