HODGES, Martha Jane MORROW – Mrs. Martha Jane Hodges, wife of Mr. Howell Hodges, died at Cane Hill Tuesday morning, October 26. Had she lived a few days, she would have reached the 80th year of her age. She had been in failing health for a number of years, but while her death was sudden, it was not unexpected.

Mrs. Hodges was a daughter of John and Mariah Morrow and was born on Cove Creek, in this county, November 3, 1835. On November 19, 1857, she married Mr. Howell Hodges, who is now in his 86th year, and with three children still survive her. The living children are Dr. T.E. Hodges of Rogers, Mrs. Lillie Jones of Muskogee, Oklahoma and Miss Emma Hodges. Two daughters, Mrs. L.D. Blakemore and Mrs. Cline preceded her to the grave several years ago. She is also survived by one brother, Mr. T.A. Morrow and three sisters, Mrs. George Hagood of Durant, Oklahoma, Mrs. Alex Andrews and Mrs. King.

She was converted when 14 years of age and united with the Cumberland Presbyterian church and remained a member of the church until 1906, when she with her husband united with the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. when the union was affected. She lived to a ripe old age and was loved and honored by all who knew her and in all walks of life led an exemplary Christian life. The large attendance at the funeral service was a testimony of the esteem in which she was held and of her place in the hearts and affections of her acquaintances and neighbors. The funeral service was conducted Wednesday morning by Rev. A.E. Carnahan.

CCNote: Husband is buried in Cane Hill Cemetery.
