Tuesday night after a brief illness. She was 86. Miss Dodson was a member of 13 historical organizations, including the National Society of the Daughters of the American
Colonists and the Order of the First Families of Virginia. Her favorite group, however, was the United Daughters of the Confederacy, which she, her mother, and two sisters
joined in 1921. They were eligible because Miss Dodson's grandfather, with the help of slaves, built Fort Caswell and Fort Fisher on the North Carolina coast. Miss Dodson was
also the United Daughter's recorder of crosses for many years. She did the research that resulted in the awarding of 104 crosses to descendants of Confederate soldiers or
individuals who served the Confederacy "honoraby and faithfully."

MEMORIAL TRIBUTE TO MISS NANNIE ELIZABETH DODSON
By James B. Gordon Chapter of the UDC Chaplain
Miss Nannie Elizabeth Dodson, of 2731 Pilgrim Court, was born October 10, 1893 in Pilot Mountain, Surry County, NC, the daughter of James Claybourn Dodson and Elizabeth
Pepper Dodson. She received her formal education at Salem Academy and Salem College and was graduated in piano, organ and harp in Asheville, NC. Most of her adult life
she spent here in Winston-Salem.
Along with her mother and her two sisters, Miss Nannie Dodson became a member of the James B. Gordon Chapter of the UDC Sept 12 1921, on the record of her grandfather,
Dr. D.C. Pepper, from Stokes County. His sever rheumatic condition prevented him from seeing combat duty during the War Between the States; nevertheless, with the manual
aid of a group of Negro slaves, he constructed Fort Caswell and Fort Fisher on the North Carolina coast. For fifty-eight years Miss Dodson was an ardent and active member of
our chapter.
For many years Miss Dodson was an avid genealogist and belonged to both state and national historical organizations among which were Daughters of the American Colonists,
the Order of the First Families of Virginia, and the Daughters of the American Revolution. However, she always hastened to say that her favorite organization was the UDC. This
love she displayed by serving as president of the James B. Gordon Chapter for nine years and by acting as the recorder of crosses for many years. She was a tireless, devoted,
and very generous chapter member and always contributed to projects undertaken by this organization, the scholarship fund having claimed much of her interest and generosity.
Both Miss Nannie and her sister, Miss Agnes Dodson, also a member of the James B. Gordon Chapter were accomplished and talented musicians. These two sisters served our
chapter as musicians, and through their music they brought coveted awards to the James B. Gordon Chapter.
Miss Dodson was a dedicated member of Centenary United Methodist Church, where she taught Sunday School for twenty-five years. She was a life member of the United
Methodist Women of Centenary Church and was active and always regular in attendance as long as her health permitted.
At the age of eighty-six Miss Dodson's death came on Tuesday night, September 4, 1979, after only one day's illness. Funeral services were held at Vogler's Main Street Chapel
at eleven o'clock Thursday morning September 6, with interment in Salem Cemetery; the services were conducted by her pastor, Dr. Ernest Fitzgerald.
She is survived by one sister, Mrs. Clyde O. Crowell of Pilgrim Court and by two brothers, Mr. James R. Dodson of the home and Mr. John C. Dodson, Sr of Danville,
Virginia. To her survivors we extend deep and sincere sympathy. James B. Gordon Chapter has indeed been greatly enriched by the devotion and faithfu services of Miss
Nannie Dodson. While her passing brings a sense of great loss, it is our fervent hope that her love for and loyalty to the UDC will be a living inspiration to all members of the
James B. Gordon Chapter of the UDC for years to come.
