Hodel, 61 years old, former resident of this city killed In the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad yards at Grafton, W.Va. yesterday morning when struck by passenger train No. 3's engine which had been returning to the shops, will conducted at the home of the deceased in Grafton, Wednesday morning by Rev.

The body will be brought to this city to the home of Mrs. Annie Madden, 309 North Centre Street on Wednesday evening and Interment will be in St. Patrick's Cemetery on Thursday. Mr. Hodel was employed as labor foreman at the Grafton Shops for the past several years. In B & O service for 35 years. Hodel had been in the employ of the Baltimore & Ohio for the past 35 years continuously. He moved from Cumberland to Glenwood, Pa., and thence to Grafton, 23 years ago. He was a lifelong member of the Catholic Church, financial secretary of the Knights of Columbus, a member of the Holy Name Society and various fraternal orders; including the Eagles, in which he had been secretary for years, the Moose the Baltimore & Ohio Veterans, and fire chief of the Grafton-Baltimore & Ohio fire department. His Widow, Lydia Hodel, has been active in Grafton community affairs for a long period also. She served as clerk in the office of the city commissioner of finance, under the administration to Arch Love and is at present in that office under G. Thomas Vance. The Grafton Sentinel says: In his passing the city loses a gentleman in all his dealings. He was perhaps the best known employee of the local Baltimore & Ohio shops, an untiring worker, reliable, accommodating and respected. The community joins with the bereaved members of his immediate family in their sorrow."
