  W. H. AND C. B. HODGES, brothers of L. K. Hodges, whose sketch appears
above, were also born in Bossier Parish, La., the former in 1851 and the
latter two years later.  They were given the advantages of the common
schools near their home, and being boys of energy, enterprise and
determination, they began doing for themselves at an early age, and are now
deservedly ranked among the most successful planters of the parish, for by
their own exertions they have become the owners of about 1,500 acres of
valuable land, of which some 400 acres are in a fine state of cultivation,
devoted principally to the cultivation of cotton, the annual yield being
about 250 bales.  Like their brother, they possess fine executive ability,
and are shrewd financiers, knowing the full value of money, and the proper
use to which to put it.  They are progressive in their ideas, thrifty and
industrious, honorable in every particular, and consequently full deserve
the success which has attended their efforts.  W. H. Hodges is still
single, but C. B. was married to Miss Llewella Lockwell, by whom he is the
father of five children.  He is a member of the K. of P. of Shreveport.
