I have additional information on Captain Frederick Leighton Dodge, USA:  First, that is the correct spelling of his middle name. He married his wife, Laura Clement, in General George Crook's quarters at Fort Whipple, Arizona on December 27, 1873. He evidently had mental difficulties, spending time at the Army & Navy Hospital in Hot Springs, Arkansas and at a mental hospital in Washington, DC, before retiring and settling in Detroit, where he committed suicide.
