Hodson's marriage application gives his middle name as "Otterbin". Is that a family name? It seems a bit unusual. Bessie Pearl(Engle) Hodson is a sister to my wife's grandmother. Ado Eloe (Engle) Ballenger (1890-1963) is my wife's grandmother. The marriage application of B.F.H and Mary F. Cox has his last name spelled 'Hodgens'. It gives B.F.H. as the son of Joshua Hodgens and Mary Horner. Mary F. Cox is listed as the daughter of Joseph Cox and Catharine Mc?anney. I couldn't make out the one letter.
