Wilbur Hodgson Prominent in Power and Light Business

Wilbur Hodgson, a native of Winterset, died at his home in Duluth, Minn. last Thursday, after a brief illness. He was 71 years of age.

Mr. Hodgson left Winterset many years ago, moving to Des Moines, where he was connected with the Des Moines Electric company until 1913. He was with the Utah Power and Light company from 1913 to 1923, and since then had been in Dubuque. At the time of his death he was vice president, secretary, treasurer and director of the Minnesota Power and Light company.

He is survived by his wife, the former Margaret McNerney; a son, Raymond, and a daughter, Patricia.

Brief funeral services were held at Duluth, and burial was made in St. Ambrose cemetery in Des Moines this Wednesday.
