Passed away December 7, 1920 at his home near Wayside, Kansas, aged 22 years, 6 months and 4 days. He was the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Hodges of Wayside. He also leaves to mourn his loss, three sisters, Mrs. Pearl Donnelly, Mrs. Edna Hoke and Mrs. Grayce Herring all of Wayside and one brother, Roy Hodges, besides a host of friends. One sister Mrs. Mable Wagner passed on eighteen months ago. Frank begin to fail in health after the flu epidemic two years ago and everything that could be done, was done to try and check the dreded disease of tuberculosis. He and his parents went to Arizona last May to find health but he grew weaker all the time, and at last he begged to come home and see his loved once, before he got down and couldn't get home. They returned just six weeks before his death came. Frank made a brave fight, always patient and kind and always ready to take things as they come. He was a clean moral boy, liked by his boyhood and girlhood friends, always jolly and ready to help in anything, Although he knew it wouldn't be long before he would pass on, He did not want to make the sacrifice so young. Like the "Blessed Master, he prayed the cup might pass from him. But not our will, but God's be done" His soul is now at rest and like the beautiful hymn sung at his funeral, "We Shall Meet Him Some Bright Morning, Resting by the River Fair. We Will Always be With Frank. In the Upper Garden There" We wish to extend our sympathy to the aged parents, who so tenderly took care of him and watched over him for so long, may the find comfort in knowing he is out of his suffering, is at rest.
