We regret to learn of the serious illness of our venerable friend, Capt. C. W. Hodge. While attending Conference at Baton Rouge he was stricken down with pneumonia, and our
latest information is that his condition is extremely critical. He is nearly 71 years old and consequently ill prepared to withstand the severity of disease. One of his sons – Dr. J. F. Hodge – reached Baton Rouge on the 16h inst., and Lewis Hodge, another son, in company with Mrs. Mosley, left on last Monday to attend him. Capt. Hodge has been the recipient of the kindest care and attention from our former townsman, Judge Rutland, and family, during his illness.

Death of Rev. C. W. Hodge.
A private note from Hon. E. T. Sellers, received just as we go to press, brings the sad intelligence that Rev. C. W. Hodge died at Baton Rouge,Tuesday night, 26th inst, of
pneumonia. When we penned a notice of his illness last week, we were encouraged to believe, from latest information, that he would survive the attack, and this was the hope of his family up to Monday evening; but an unfavorable change then took place which resulted in his death. Capt. Hodge was born March 9th 1815 and consequently was nearly 71 years old at the time of his death. His remains were expected to arrive at Calhoun station yesterday, to be interred to day at Smyrna church near Downsville, by the Masonic fraternity, he having been a member of Urim Lodge No. 111, F & A. M. for many years. Capt. H. was well known throughout this entire section of the state and leaves many friends to mourn his demise. We tender the stricken family our sincere sympathy in this their great bereav[e]ment.
[Note: In the spring of 1862, Charles W. Hodge raised a company of men from southern and eastern Union Parish and joined Col. Charles Morrison's battalion in Monroe. This
battalion became the 31st Regiment Louisiana Volunteer Infantry, Confederate States Army, in May 1862. Hodge's company became Company G, 31st Regiment, and they elected Hodge captain. He served with his regiment honorably throughout the Vicksburg campaign between November 1862 and July 1863, including the Battles of Chickasaw Bayou in December 1862 and Port Gibson in May 1863, as well as the Siege of Vicksburg itself. After the surrender at Vicksburg on 4 July 1863, Hodge returned to service in 1864 at Vienna, Minden and then Pineville, Louisiana. He resigned his commission in the army in October 1864 as he had been elected to the Louisiana Legislature.]
