J. H. HODGES 1S DEAD
Pioneer Teacher of Montgomery County Succumbed This Morning to Long Illness.
John Henry Hodges, who came to Montgomery county fifty years ago and taught twenty-seven terms of school in this county, died at 3:55 o'clock this morning at the home of his son, George Hodges, 808 Lincoln street, following an illness of seven months. The funeral will be held some time Friday afternoon and the burial will be made in the family lot in Kalloch cemetery, northeast of the city.
Mr. Hodges was born in Nashville, Tenn., sixty-six years ago and came to this county when a boy of sixteen, spending the first two years in this county at Independence. He early took up the profession of teaching and for years was one of the most prominent teachers in the county. He also spent fourteen years on the Wash Dilley farm, six miles northeast of Coffeyville, but in recent years had followed the carpenter's trade in Coffeyville. His wife died twenty-five years ago and his children are proud of the fact that unaided Mr. Hodges took up the full burden of rearing the family and kept it together until all were grown, although at the time of his wife's death the oldest child was only 15 and the youngest only 3.
Mr. Hodges leaves six children: George Hodges and Mrs. V. V. Foland of Coffeyville. Robert and Manford Hodges and Mrs. William Clack of Chicago, Ill., and William Hodges, who is somewhere in the west and cannot be located. George Hodges and Mrs. Foland were with him when the end came and Robert and Manford are expected here for the funeral. Mrs. Clack spent several weeks here this spring and summer. Mr. Hodges also leaves four brothers, Robert, Frank and George of Kansas City, Mo., and E. W. of Joplin, Mo.
