Hodge, Ira, Norway, was born in Winfield, Herkimer county, in 1840. He is a son
of David Hodge, a son of Robert Hodge, one of the first settlers of Ohio, 
where he spent his life in agricultural pursuits. The wife of Robert Hodge was 
Rosa Pell, who bore him twelve children, five of whom are living. David Hodge 
was a farmer. His wife was Patience Hall, who bore him eleven children. Mr. 
Hodge spent most of his life in Ohio, where he and his wife died.  The subject 
was reared on a farm and educated in the common schools. He married Mary F. 
Warner, of New York, and they had the following children: Nellie I., Jessie 
W., David O., Florence E.. Benjamin F., Polly M. and Nora O., all of whom are 
living except Nora O., who died in infancy. Mr. Hodge is a farmer and shingle 
maker. He, perhaps, has made more shingles than any other man in Herkimer 
county. In 1861 he enlisted in company C, Thirty-fourth N. Y. Volunteers,
and at the end of two months was sent home for disability.   In 1865 he was
drafted and on account of disability was rejected. He did not receive his 
discharge until 1892.
