Hiram T Dodge was at one time engaged in the sash and door business in Vermont. His plant was destroyed by fire and he then located in Omaha, continuing in the same business. In 1859 he joined a party going to Pikes Peak for the purpose of gold mining but on reachin that point Mr. Dodge concluded that the gold fields were not what they had been represented and he continued with his party to Oregon, settling in the vicinity of The Dalles where with a partner he operated a sawmill on Fifteen-Mile creek.
