Kindred
Dec 5, 1850 - Mar 8, 1925
Kindred J. Hodge, a general merchant of Berryville, Ark., is a native
of Tennessee, and was born in Bedford County, that State, on December
5, 1850. He is a son of Nathan and Elizabeth (Bobo) Hodge, both
natives of Tennessee. The parents were married in their native State,
and afterward located there and remained about twenty years. They came
to Arkansas in 1856, and located in Carroll County. The father was a
carpenter by trade, but after coming to Arkansas he engaged in farming
in connection with carpentering, and continued until 1861, when he
enlisted in the Confederate army, and served until the war was almost
over. Becoming disabled, he was discharged and returned home, where he
was killed in January, 1865. His widow still survives. They reared
seven children to mature years, two daughters and five sons. One of
the sons, L. D., was killed in the Federal army; Washington died while
in the Federal army, and Samuel while in the Confederate service. The
only children living are William Hodge, of Carroll County; Sarah, wife
of James McCleary, of Berryville, and the subject of this sketch. The
last named spent his youth on his father's farm, and grew to manhood
in Carroll County. On November 3, 1872, he was united in marriage with
Mary Jones, a daughter of C. A. Jones (deceased). She was born in
Tennessee, and came to Arkansas in the fall of 1860. After his
marriage Mr. Hodge settled on a farm in the county, and was engaged in
agricultural pursuits until 1881, when he sold his farm and engaged in
clerking in a store in Berryville. The following February he purchased
the store, and has since been engaged in merchandising. He carries a
large stock of dry goods, groceries, clothing, boots, shoes, hats and
caps, and everything found in a first-class general store, and has a
good trade. He is one of the city aldermen, and is a member of the
school board. He and wife are the parents of five children, viz.:
Denoy, Walter White, Clara Belle, Mable Marr and Charles Hubble.
