An‘appreciation =
Dorothy Dodson; a life
dedicated to community
The death of Dorothy Elston
Dodson, lifetime resident of Kunkle,
greatly saddened her many friends
and relatives. A daughter of the
late Ralph and Agnes Isaacs El-
ston, Dorothy was a student in
Dallas Township schools and
graduated in business administra-
tion from Wyoming Seminary.
She and her husband, Fred, were
known throughout the Back Moun-
tain for their active participation
in community activities as well as
their being proprietors of the
Dodson Economy Store until they
closed the business 10 years ago.
Dorothy was dedicated to her
church, the Kunkle United Meth-
odist, where she served as organist
for 60 years. She also served as
president of the Kunkle United
Methodist Women and for years
served as secretary for the church.
For many years she was active
in the Dallas Chapter of Eastern
Star and was a past matron having
served as Worthy Matron in 1968.
Dorothy Dodson was also a loyal
member of the Kunkle Volunteer
Fire Company and for years she
organized and worked at numer-
ous fundraising events. Her dedi-
cation was so great that her son
Jack has continued in her foot-
steps and devotes most of his lei-
sure time to the fire company and
its activities and is presently fire
chief.
Dorothy's presence in the
church and community will be
greatly missed by her friends and
neighbors but her memory will be
with them forever if they continue
to take part in the church and
community activities she loved so
well.
As many of our lifetime resi-
dents goon to greater heights, they
take a part of their community
with them, hoping someone will
step in and keep it moving for-
ward.

Edward Carey brought
joy to the lives he touched
The tragic death of Shavertown
resident Edward Carey last week
leaves a void in the community
and especially at the Shavertown
Fire Company.
Born in Hanover but residing in
the Back Mountain for almost 50
years, Carey brought joy and hap-
piness to hundreds of children in
the area and to their families by
playing the role of Santa Claus for
the Shavertown Fire Company and
other organizations who sought
his assistance. He was never too
busy to visit a sick child in the
hospital or at his or her home. He
loved children and was rewarded
by their smile when jolly Saint
Nick took time out to visit them.
Not only was he dedicated to the
fire company where he was a
member for the years he lived in
the area, he also served as presi-
dent, treasurer and fire chiefin the
company and took part in all
community activities.
A lover of music he took an
active part in various barbershop
music groups in the area. He was
also active in the ambulance asso-
ciation.
He had a great concern for prog-
ress in the Back Mountain Area
and recently ran for supervisor in
Kingston Township. He was one of
those rare individuals who believed
that with progress came change -
change that was usually for the
benefit of all.
Edward Carey was also active in
his church, St. Therese's of Shav-
ertown and was a member in the
Holy Name Society.
He will be missed not only by his
family and friends but by mem-
bers of the community as well and
especially by members of the Shav-
ertown Volunteer Fire Company
for Ed Carey was always there
when he was needed. What could
be more appropriate than that
memorial contributions be made
in his name to the Shavertown
Volunteer Fire Company, the or-
ganization he loved best.
