Among the people of Independence County, the name of Dr. Hodges is a familiar one, for during his twelve years' practice here he has won an enviable reputation, not only as a practitioner, but as a citizen and neighbor.

He is a graduate of the medical department of the University of Louisville, and has been a citizen of Independence County since September 1, 1877. He is a member of the Independence County Medical Society, also the State Medical Society of the State of Arkansas. He owns some valuable property at different places in the county, and a comfortable and pleasant home in the town of Sulphur Rock. He was married to Mrs. D. J. Magness, nee Bone, December 10, 1879, and the happy results of their union are two boys, Eugene and Armstrong, and three girls, Ethelind, Jessamine and Nettie Roberta. Dr. Hodges is a modest, conservative and unassuming gentleman, and he and his wife are both consistent members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.
