Woods County Enterprise. waynoka. Okla.
Once again has the shadow of death
darkened the peaceful and happy
home and taken another dear one
from our midst. This time James
Milton Hodges has answered the sum-
mons and suddenly gone from us to
Eternity. On the evening of April
Ii, three miles east of Hooperville,
during a cyclone, part of barn roof
was blown down upon Mr.. Hodges re-
sulting in instant death. But we
feel confident that Milton was ready
to go.
James Milton Hodges was man
among men: of sterling honesty and
worth; noble and high character; a
man of great ambition and energy: a
devoted father to his family. A kind
and affectionate husband, a citizen
worthy of example of truth and ve-
racity. Truly his sudden death was a
shock to us all. We shall miss him
here among us, on our streets, and
especially shall the sorrowing wife
and children miss his kindly face and
accustomed place. They shall no
more hear his CHEEKY voice, when
coming home, at the gate His dear
memory will be cherished while we
live.
His funeral was preached at the
Baptist church by Rev. Kretzinger
at $3.50 p. M, April 18th; Texts. Job
Ill, Psa 8:4, after which we laid
him away to rest until we shall meet
him where the storms of life here can
never reach that peaceful shore. Let
us meet him one and all.
Farewell, then short farewell, we
say as wife, children, mother, broth
ers, sisters, relatives and friends.
James Milton Hodges was born in
Linn Co., Missouri, March 4, 1865,
lived in Missouri till 1884, came to
Aetna, Barber Co., Kansas with his
parents, J. J. and Eliza Hodges, the
same year. Later was married to
Rosa Shockley in Barber Co., Kansas,
Sept. %, 1890. To this union were
born two children, Harold and Clifford
Hodges. Came to Oklahoma and
lived there until the evening of April
Ii, when he was suddenly called away
by death, the result of a cyclone 3
miles east of .Hooperville, Okla. He
leaves grief stricken wife and two
children, an aged and heartbroken
mother, three brothers and two sis
ters to mourn his death.
His brothers are T. J. Hodges of
Texas, W. P. Hodges in Colorado and
G. R. Hodges, Aetna, Kansas. His
sisters Belle Brown of Aline, Okla
homa, Tennie Riggs Of Garden City,
Kansas. All were present at the
funeral except a sister and two broth
ers, one in Texas and one in Colorado
and one sister Tennie Riggs of Aline,
Oklahoma.
