E. Owen Hodder was the son of Eric Edwin Hodder and Eleanor McConnell of Thornton Heath, England. Owen came to the U.S. in 1926 because an uncle, Arthur Hodder, owned part of Pine Island Lake near Northampton, Massachusetts.
In 1931 Owen married Arlene Hoag of Greenwich, NY. Arlene and Owen lived on Goose Island Rd, in Argyle, NY where Owen ran the Goose Island Craft and Machine Shop out of their home. He was a very talented metal worker and photographer.
At their home he built a sizable pond with an island. He also carefully manicured an English bowling green, where he taught his friends and relatives to play the game. He is also remembered for the fragrant pipe tobacco he was often cheerfully smoking.
After a long marriage (no children), Arlene preceded Owen in death. Owen then married Lulumae Gage Hodder of Hudson Falls.
