Reunion - Dodds siblings

The Sterling Kansas newspapers contain a number of accounts of reunions between the children of Rev Josiah Dodds, who I wrote about some time ago. Josiah had nine children, Robert John Cannon Dodds, William David Dodds, Joseph Torrance Dodds, Elizabeth Sarah Dodds, Josiah Boggs Dodds, Jane Isabelle Dodds, Matilda Mary Dodds, Nancy Margaret Dodds, and Fred J Dodds. Joseph died as a child and William died fairly young when the hotel he was staying in exploded, but the remaining Dodds siblings, excepting Robert, who was quite a bit older and a half-sibling, seem to have made it a point to have a reunion when possible. My ancestor Matilda (or “Tillie”) and Elizabeth (or “Lizzie”) married two Edgar brothers and both lived in Sterling Kansas and a number of reunions happened there. I’m going to post several newspaper articles describing them below:
