Mary J. "Jane" Dodge was born about 1864, probably in Lake County Ohio. The last known record of her is the 1880 census, for Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, where she lived with her parents, Abram and Yuta Dodge and her siblings. The Dodges were known to have spent most of their lives in the Mentor/Kirtland area however.
A marriage license record for "Ella" Stitt gives her mother's name as Jane Dodge, her date of birth as March 25, 1885, and place of birth as Cleveland, although no official record of the birth has been found.
Family lore has it that Jane Dodge died "when Ella was nine years old." Cause of death was said to be "quick consumption," the common name for tuberculosis at the time. No exact date or place is given for Jane's demise, and no death certificate has been found.
Again family lore has Jane interred in Mentor Cemetery between the graves of her parents Abram and Yuta. A request for confirmation on this however revealed that, according to Mentor Cemetery's records, that grave is empty.
Several years of research have yielded almost nothing in the way of documentation for Jane and she remains the lone member of this family for which the information is incomplete. Research continues to try and locate her exact date and place of death and burial.
