Mrs. Wm. B. Hodges

Anna Elsie Nickle was born Feb. 16, 1854 in Marion county, Iowa and died in Des Moines, Dec. 30, 1918 aged 64 years, 10 months and 14 days. She was married to Wm. B. Hodges March 31, 1881 at St. Charles. He preceded her in death seven years ago.

To this union were born nine children, two of whom passed away in early years. Those who are left to revere and honor their mother's memory are; Floa May Fay, St. Paul, Minn.; Clark W.
