Frances Arlene Hoag was the eldest of four children of Allan and Mamie Hoag, of Easton and then Greenwich, NY. Arlene's mother, Mamie died in 1914, when Arlene was only 12. As a result Arlene became an important helper to her father with the younger three children.
Arlene received a B.A. from Elmira College in 1924, the oldest women's college in the U.S. with a major in Science. She became a teacher and at one time taught a young woman, Mary Macklin, who later became her sister in law. (Married Arlene's brother Dwelle.)
In 1931 Arlene married Owen Hodder, son of Eric Edwin Hodder and Eleanor McConnell of Thornton Heath, England. Owen came to the U.S. because an uncle, Arthur Hodder, owned part of Pine Island Lake near Northampton, Mass. Arlene and Owen lived on Goose Island Rd, in Argyle, NY. Owen ran the Goose Island Craft and Machine Shop there. He was a very talented metal worker and photographer.
Arlene was very interested in genealogy and supplied much of her grandfather, Jonathan Elihu Hoag's records for Jane Betsey Welling's very good book, "They Were Here Too".
After a long marriage (no children), Arlene preceded Owen in death. Both Arlene and Owen are buried in the Hoag Family plot in Greenwich Cemetery.
