Ashland Progress
It is with a feeling of sadness that I write a few lines of the life history of 
our grandmother, Aunt Hester Hodnett, as she was generally known. She was the 
wife of Uncle Henry Hodnett. She was the last of a family of four children. Mr. 
Joe Hood and Mr. Teab Hood, her brothers and Mrs. Jane Parker, her sister. 
Grandma was born Dec. 10, 1847, died Sept. 27. 1926. She was born and lived all 
her life in the same community. She was good to visit the sick and she knew the 
hardships and privations of lifer being only a young girl when the Civil War 
began. She was married to Henry Hodnett January 3, 1867. To this union were born 
16 children, two died in infancy and one in childhood. 13 reached manhood, one 
died in 1917, Henry Nolen Hodnett; 12 now living, W. R. and J. M. Hodnett of 
Florida, Mrs. Mollie Pate of! Arkansas, Mrs. Allen Cooley of Mississippi, John 
Hodnett of Alexander City, Mrs. W. L. Alford, Mrs. Dicie Green and W. R. Hodnett 
of Clay County and Mrs. Decie Vickers, Mrs. Alice Allen and Mrs. W. R. Fuller of 
Daviston. She was indeed a mother to these children. In her death the children 
have lost a faithful mother, grandmother, an affectionate wife, the community a 
good neighbor and Bethany church a true and faithful member. Henry Alford.
