About George Dodge, Jr.
Farmer George as he has been called was a somewhat notable man being energetic industrious and successful. His possessions were large, "His household indoors and out was always full of life and activity Work people were not permitted to loiter for want of something to do while daylight lasted." He led the way and said come boys He believed in praise rather than blame as a motive for work in smiles rather than frowns He seemed to have work for all who applied if they were disposed to be in earnest but there were no ten hour workers in those days The daughters were no less busy than tbe sons The spinning wheel and loom were seldom silent. Butter and cheese were staple household products. He had a negro man, Mingo, who occupied a cabin on the margin of a dense wood near where Asbury Grove Camp ground is now established on land formerly his. This Mingo was a very efficient helper and one who never strayed from his work.
