Funeral services were scheduled to be held Monday afternoon at the Methodist
Episcopal church in Hubbardston for Ralph L. Hoge, 90, Hubbardston’s last
veteran of the Civil war, who died at the home of his son, Albert.  The Walter
T. Roach post, American Legion, of Hubbardston had charge of the burial service
in Westside cemetery.

Mr. Hoge was born in Bellefontine, Ohio, Sept. 5, 1848, and enlisted in the
Union army at Alton, Ill., September 10, 1864, serving with the 144th volunteer
infantry, 11th army corps.  He was a guard at the Alton military prison and was
mustered out of service February 13, 1865.  Typhoid fever contracted in the
service left him in ill hearing the remainder of his life.

He married Miss Julia Ann Weeks at Hubbardston, March 30, 1877.  She died
November 8, 1938.

He was a member of O.H. Read post, GAR and for 35 years its quartermaster.  He
