MONDAY.
Highly Esteemed Lawyer and
Citizen Answers the Last
Call After a Short
Illness.

A shadow of gloom was cast over
the city Tuesday morning when the
announcement was made that Hon.
Paul Hodges had answered the final
summons. For many years promi-
nent in the public life of Florence,
! e had earned and held the esteem
and respect of the entire commun-
ity as a man who was big-hearted
and charitable toward everyone,
fearless and frank in his position on
all matters, lawyer and student
OF ability and intellect, and as
clean-minded and friendly as boy.
In his passing all who knew him
feel the keenest loss.
Mr.. Hodges was born in Tisho-
mingo county, Miss, on June End,
1861. He was the second son of
DR.. r. S. and Mrs. l.. A. Hodges.

fession in Kansas City, Mo-, where

was married to Miss Susan X Pride,
and their union was blessed by four
children, Misses Charlotte. Jacque-
lin and Mary Phillips, and Paul
Hodges, Jr., all of whom are living
here. Two brothers, DR.. w. A.
Hodges, of Iuka, Miss, and Prof.
Robt. Hodges of the University OF
Alabama, and one sister, Mrs. H.
c. Hughes, of Meridian, Texas, sur
vive him.
Funeral services were held at the
family home on West College street
Tuesday afternoon, where the pres
ence and the floral offerings of the
large circle of their friends attested
the affection in which he and his be-
reaved family were held. Interment
followed at the city cemetery.
At the time OF his death he was
attended, not only by his wife and
children, but by his two brothers.
Out-of-town attendants at the fu-
neral were DR.. Hodges and Prof
