Citizen Dies On Sunday Evening. The angel of death claimed Richard Hodson (sic)
Sunday evening at about 9:30 o'clock after a short illness. He had been ailing
all summer and was taken to Scales, Sierra county, for a change but he did not
like it there and returned. He had a light stroke of apoplexy last spring and
a second one last week. Sunday evening about 5:30 o'clock a third stroke came
and he never ralied from it. The end came altogether unexpected. Mr. Hodgson
had been at church at the Holiness Chapel in the morning and was feeling as well
as usual until he was stricken down. Mr. Hodgson would have been 78 years old
in three weeks had he lived. He was married in England before coming to this
country and made the journey to California as his wedding trip thirty-nine years
ago. He has resided here ever since and brought up a large family. Mrs. Hodgson
passed away four years ago last July. The children are Richard and John Hodgson
of Eureka, Joseph Hodgson of Bonnells, Humboldt county; Mrs. May V. Darden of
Berkeley, Mrs. V.S. Bean, David Hodgson, the well known tailor, and Miss Ada
Hodgson and Mrs. Annie Morris, all of this city. The funeral arrangements will
depend upon the arrival of the children.
