Rosamond L. Dodson Rhone, a daughter of Osborne Dodson, of the township of Huntington. Mrs. Rhone is a descendant of Samuel Dodson, who, in 1780, was a resident of Penn township, Northampton county (now Mahoning township, Carbon county), Pennsylvania. At that date, with a settlement here and there, it was the frontier of Pennsylvania, and not far from where Fort Allen (now Weissport) was erected.

Her great grandfather, Joseph Dodson, located in Huntington township, Luzerne county, on the farm where he died, in 1851; and in that township her grandfather, Samuel Dodson, and her father, Osborne Dodson, were born and buried.

She was born in Downieville, Sierra county, California, during the residence of her father in that State, while acting as a civil engineer. An incident occurred in connection with the Dodson family while they were residents of Northampton county that is worth relating here.
