Mrs. Sarah R. Hodges

Funeral services for Mrs. Sarah Richardson Hodges, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Seth Richardson, and wife of Mr. John T. Hodges, who quietly fell asleep at dawn February 28th at her home, were conducted from her residence Friday at 2:00 o'clock by the Rev. Gary B. Baldwin, pastor of Macedonia Baptist Church, of which she was long a member. The services were largely attended and there were many beautiful floral tributes, the casket being covered with a double spray of lilies, carnations and ferns. Mr. S. W. Treakle, Miss Clara Treakle, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Forrest sang, "Jesus Savior Pilot Me," and "In Thy Cleft O Rock of Ages," accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Susie F. Nelson. The hymns were of her own selection some years since.

The pallbearers were all her grandchildren: Spencer Hodges, Stanwood Hodges, Kirkland Jarvis, Relmond A. Hodges and Orville L. Hodges. Honorary pallbearers were: Keeler Treakle, George Treakle, S. W. Treakle, and Guerdon Treakle, Floyd Shawn, Willie Shawn, Homer Dennis, Melvin Soper, Charlie Hodges, Vaden White and Leslie Shawn. As a request several years previous and a favorite hymn, "Some Sweet Day Bye and Bye," was sung at the grave by Mrs. Susie F. Nelson: -
Oh, these parting scenes will end,
Some sweet day, bye and bye,
We shall gather, friend with friend,
Some sweet day, bye and bye;
There before our Father's throne,
When mists and clouds have flown,
We shall know as we are known,
Some sweet day, bye and bye.

She was laid to rest in the family cemetery with her children, to await the coming of an aged companion. She is survived by one sister, Mrs. Laura B. Treakle, five children, George, Jesse, Sallie, Ira and Annie, many grand-children, great grand-children and other loved ones.
