He had been in good health for his years until about two weeks ago when flu developed into acute bronchitis which affected his heart. Robert Hodgson ws born in Briar Hill, County of Durham, England, and grew to manhood there. In October, 1872, with his parents, Wm. and Jane Hodgson, the family came to United States and located six miles east of Fort Dodge where Robert worked in a coal mine for eight years. In 1880 he and his brother, William, came to Plymouth county and bought 80 acres in Stanton township which is part of the Hodgson farm now operated by his son, R. C. Hodgson. Children Survive On March 7, 1883, Mr. Hodgson was married to Sarah A. Bainbridge, who preceded him in death three years ago. In 1916 they retired and moved to the house in LeMars where they spent the balance of their days. Five children born to them survive: Mrs. Jennie Harker, LeMars; William of Stanton; Mrs. Ethel Heckenlively, LeMars; George of Wessington Springs, South Dakota, and Robert on the home farm in Stanton. Two daughters, Jessie and Hazel, died in infancy. Mr. Hodgson is survived by two brothers, Joseph F., of Karval, Colorado, who arrived in LeMars the day his brother died, and Stephen, of Kenmare, North Dakota, and one sister, Mrs. Jennie (Jane) Cross, of Curlew, Iowa, the only survivors of a family of eight children. He is also survived by six grandchildren and one great grandchild. Member of Methodist Church Mr. Hodgson united with the Wesleyan Methodist church in England when 17 years old and after he located in United States affiliated with the Methodist Episcopal church in which he was an active worker. Shortly after coming to LeMars he became a member of the official board of the First Methodist Episcopal church and was a trustee of that church at the time of this death. Funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon with a brief service at the home at 1:30 p.m. and the service at the First Methodist church at 2 o'clock. Rev. W. M. Hubbard, his pastor, will be in charge and burial will be in the city cemetery. Until his last illness Mr. Hodgson was unusually alert mentally and in good physical condition for his years.
