General Notes: Husband - James Hodgens
He was given educational opportunities far beyond those afforded many of his associates, attending good schools and completing his studies at Jefferson College. He had a taste for mathematics and this aided in perfecting him in civil engineering and surveying. Later he gave a large portion of his time for some years to his profession and enjoyed it, but he also carried on large agricultural operations. His engineering work took him to other points and he was connected with railroad construction in Iowa, but later gave up contracts that would take him so far from home. He owned 260 acres of some of the best land in Buffalo Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and his farm was well stocked, his herds of cattle being Holsteins and Shorthorns, of the highest grade throughout.
In his political views he was a rigid Democrat and he served at times in township offices as his duties in other lines would permit, and for a considerable length of time was justice of the peace. He was a leading member of the United Presbyterian Church at Taylorstown.
