Abby C. Hodgins
Abby Cordelia Hodgins was born at Norwich, N.Y., August 5, 1830, of English parentage. She was educated at the Norwich academy. In 1850 she married to Dr. Wm. N. Hodgins. He followed his profession for nearly forty years. They lived for a time at Norwich, then moved to DeRuyster, N.Y., and the remaining years spent in the east at Sidney, N.Y.
Mrs. Hodgins was the mother of two children, a daughter, Agnes Ernestine, who died at the age of four years, and a son, Willie E., who resides on a farm near Belleville, Kan.
Dr and Mrs. Hodgins and son removed to Delevan, Wis., in 1876 where they engaged in farming for a period of four years. Dr. Hodgins gave up the practice of medicine and they came to Clyde, Kans., the spring of 1879, and shortly after removed to Republic county and lived upon a farm. In the late eighties they purchased property in Belleville and have been identified with the business interests of that place ever since.
Mrs. Hodgins who always a semi-invalid, has lived a life of retirement since the death of her husband in 1898. The past eight years her home has been with her son and family in the country. She sustained a paralytic stroke a week before her death which deprived her of motion and speech. She passed peacefully away November 24, 1918, aged 88 years. Her closest relatives are an aged sister, Mrs. Emma E. Samson of Earlville, N.Y., and her son, Willie E., and family of Belleville. She lived a peaceful and christian life and went trustingly to her Redeemer.
Funeral services were held at the home of W.E. Hodgins, Tuesday afternoon, November 26, by Rev. L.A. McKeever, and the body was laid to rest in the Belleville cemetery.
