From History of Tooele County
p. 161: “Medical History: Care of the Sick” by Olla Hiss. … Dr. William Bovee Dodds, son of Dr. John Bovee Dodds, was born in Union, Maine, June 2, 1820. His parents moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and it was from there that Dr. Dodds left for California during the Gold Rush of 1849. He graduated from the University of Tennessee at Nashville, receiving his M.D. degree of the Gangrene ward, and in this
field received his official citation. After the war he went to San Francisco and practiced for six years, coming to Utah and Tooele in 1872 or 1873. He and his wife came together with a small son who died when very young. His wife died later and he body was shipped East for burial. He was known as Tooele's first practicing physician. He was a big man, weighing around 250 pouns, with a head of beautiful white hair. His
kindness and generosity were as big as he was. He drove a buggy with a white horse named "Crowder"; old-timers said his white hair was as white as his white horse. In rain, snow, or heat of summer's sun, he never refused to answer a call, whether to the rich or the poor. After the death of his first wife he married Emily Atkin Warburton, about 1880, she at the time was working with Barbara Bowen, our first telegraph operator. To Dr. Dodds and Emily were born five sons. No anesthetics were used in those days and all his nervewracking surgery was done without the aid of modern drugs. His true worth to the community was summarized when one pioneer said,
p. 162: "The people loved him." He died September 30, 1895, at the age of 75 years.
His wife Emily also helped him as his nurse.
