General Notes: Husband - William Hodges
He was born December 24, 1826. [BOB37JD, 183]
He was educated in the public schools of Warren, Pennsylvania, and in the academy there. After leaving school he learned the blacksmith trade under J. H. Johnson of Warren. After working with him for about two years William, in 1846, went to Russell, where he worked two years for George W. Rush. At the close of that time, having become skillful in the business, he built and opened a shop of his own in Russell. After twenty-five years of hard and steady work, he retired from active business pursuits on account of his failing health. In 1848 he purchased a house and lot of Joseph Akeley. In 1870 Mr. Hodges tore down the old house and built in its stead a large, commodious and comfortable residence.
He was a Republican and served as constable for many years, also serving as collector for a number of years. He was very liberal in his religious views.
