About Joseph Conway Dodd
Joseph C. Dodd Member 1889-1919
Joseph Conway Dodd graduated from the University of Mississippi in 1883 and from the law department from the same institution with the class of 1884 taking the full two year course in one year. In 1884, he located at Dallas, Texas and practiced there until 1888 when he came to Louisville and became a member of the firm of Dodd & Dodd. He married the daughter of Samuel Castleman a well known citizen and businessman of Louisville, Kentucky. His eldest son, Joseph Conway, Jr. was killed at Lilers, France in April, 1918. The loss of his son destroyed his spirit and will to live.
Joseph Conway Dodd is described by my grandfather, Allen P. Dodd, Sr., as being a typical Dodd. His mother, my grandmother, was a red headed Irish girl with plenty of acid in her soul. She transmitted to her boys, my father included, a super abundance of temper and a natural taste for bourbon whiskey. Each and all of them possessed great mental ability and physical courage. Uncle Conway, like all of them, when he was good, he was very, very good. When he was mean, the devil ruled his soul. Sober, he was a prince, and as a hard driving lawyer with his teeth in a case, he had few equals. He was scrupulously honest and adhered strictly to the highest standards of legal ethics. He was loved by his friends and hated by his enemies. My grandfather learned to love him devotedly and in his passing lost a devoted companion and able partner. My grandfather, Allen Dodd said Joe Conway left him a heritage of honest dealings in a profession that tries men's souls of which I am justly proud and which yields me returns as life takes its toll of years.
