At one time Robert J. Dodge was a mystery at the American Numismatic Society. He served as their second president during the Civil War but dropped from sight after the war. Later attempts to track him were not successful.

I took up the challenge on Friday, December 18, and found results in frequently used biographical sources.

The findagrave site lists Robert Johnson Dodge, born at Long Island City on May 4, 1825, and died in Brooklyn on June 30, 1892. The site also lists his parents, four siblings, wife and son for anyone who wants to look him up.

The Social Security Death Index confirms his dates of birth and death. In addition, it lists his profession as surveyor which matches information from the ANS.
