    2. Is anyone out there related to any of these people? Bertram Enterprise, Thursday, February 10, 1927 Mr. C.C. HODGES DIED WEDNESDAY AT HOME OF DAUGHTER At 5 o'clock Wednesday morning, February 9th, the Death Angel came and claimed another one of our pioneer citizens, Mr. C.C. Hodges. He had been sick for several weeks, and his death was not unexpected. He was at the home of his daughter, Mrs. H.A. Reynolds, having made his home with his children for the past few years. Mr. Hodges was born in Scott County, Arkansas on March 19th 1844. At the time of his death he was 82 years, 10 months and 20 days of age. He was a veteran of the Civil War, having served four years in the Confederate Army with bravery and distinction. He was classed as one of the boy soldiers, having volunteered his service when he was a young boy. The Confederate rank is fast thinning, and only a few are left now to answer the final roll call. He was a splendid citizen, and liked by all that knew him, having many friends here as well as elsewhere who will regret to hear of his death. He professed religion many years ago, and lived a life that was without reproach. Decedent came to Texas during the Civil War and continued to make his home in Texas. Most of his life was spent in Burnet and Williamson Counties. He lived several years in Travis County also. He was united in marriage in 1866 to Miss Ann Askew at Georgetown, and to this union six children were born, three girls and three boys, two of the boys having died many years ago. The children who survive him are: Mrs. H.A. Reynolds of Bertram, Mrs. Will Klose of Ogle, Mrs, F. W. Pearce of Georgetown, and Mr. J. A. Hodges of Bertram. Mr. Hodge's wife died about ten years ago. Funeral services will be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Bear Creek Cemetery. The Enterprise extends condolence to the bereaved family.
