Their first son, William Hodge, was born Dec. 5, 1846 and died Feb. 23,
1866, just as he was about to enter life's young manhood. How sad that one so
young, just as he begins to view the promise [sic] land of manhood's estate,
should have to close his eyes on its beauty. We know nothing of this
particular young man's sickness, but thousands are in their graves today who
should be alive if they had known and practiced the proper rules of health."
