The sad news was received by local relatives and friends this evening of the death of F. C. Hodson at his home near Forest City, caused by heart trouble of long standing. Frank attended the funeral of his sister, Mrs. M. S. Garrett a few weeks ago, and was then in poor health—so much so that after making the trip here he was unable to attend the funeral service. The body will be brought here for interment at the side of the deceased wife, and funeral services will be held at the Friends Church Sunday afternoon.

Two sisters preceded him in death, Lillie several years ago and Margaret, who was laid to rest just a week ago.
