DODD'S FUNERAL HOME RECORDS
Paris Crossing, Jennings County, Indiana

Dodd Funeral Home in 1982 while it was still the home of Cora Deputy Dodd
I want to Thank Kathleen Deputy Collier for sending me this lovely picture of the home in its glory. Kathleen is a descendant of Solomon Deputy one of the pioneers of Jennings County.

    A note for those of you who have ever seen the old Dodd Funeral Home in Paris Crossing, it is in very sad shape. It was built by Samuel Wright in 1891 as his residence and purchased by the Dodd family, then used as the Funeral Home. The last time I was by there it was falling down, one turret has actually fallen off and upstairs windows are broken. I spoke to some neighbors one of whom related there is a racoon living in the upper floor. It is a beautiful and historic building, I am hoping it can be saved before it is too late. As of the winter of 2012, there is very little hope the home can be repaired, I fear this winter will be its last.

Dodd Funeral Home was established at Paris Crossing, Jennings County, Indiana, in 1890 by George Washington Dodd and M. J. Tobias. George W. Dodd became the sole owner in 1891. Eldo Dodd and his wife, Cora (Deputy) Dodd took over the business after the death of Eldo's father, George W. Dodd, March 3, 1924. Cemeteries in this record are in Jennings and Jefferson Counties, Indiana. Some other cemeteries are mentioned as well. This book is from 1891 to 1917
