General Notes: Husband - Fletcher Hodgden
He was educated in the public schools of Delaware County, Ohio. In 1858 he removed to Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and purchased a farm in Sewickley township. Thereafter he was engaged in farming and in dealing in horses and cattle. Besides some coal leases he held one-third interest in Fairmont, a new town adjoining Irwin, where he resided. Fairmont was owned by a stock company, of which Mr. Hodgden was president. In politics Mr. Hodgden, adhering to his mother's faith, was an ardent follower of "Old Hickory." As an evidence of his popularity, he was once unanimously chosen justice of the peace in the strong republican township of Sewickley.
He and his wife were married at the home of the bride's parents, having first met as school children in the public schools of Delaware County, Ohio.
