woman of great force of character and unusually capable in affairs. To them were born four children, of whom Chester P. was second. He showed no unusual inclination to study until when in his fifteenth year he began algebra. His enthusiasm in the solution of problems was very great, and gave an im- petus to his mind in the prosecution of his other studies. He prepared for college at Wyoming Seminary, Kingston, Pa., but taught much before entering Union College, Schenectady, N. Y., in the spring of 1860. His standing in his classes was always high, and he paid much attention to work in the laboratory. He was graduated in June, 1862, and received in course the degrees of A. B. and A. M. On the 13th of the following Au- gust he enlisted in the One Hundred and Forty-first Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers, but was discharged on the 29th of December, 1862, on account of disabilities existing before en- listment. He returned to a home made desolate by the death of his beloved mother, who "fell asleep " Nov. 21, 1862, aged six- ty-one years, in full hope of a joyful resurrection. April 14, 1863, at 9:30 A. M., in the Methodist Episcopal church at Au- burn, Ind., by the Rev. Randal Faurot, Chester P. Hodge was married to Julia E., only daughter of Hon. E. B. Mott. With his wife he returned to Leroysville, Bradford Co., Pa., where his father and sister lived in the old home. From that home his revered father went to rest Nov. 5, 1863, at the age of sixty- eight years. The following spring Mr. Hodge removed to Auburn, Ind. He made thorough preparation for work at the bar, and was admitted to practice, but he enjoyed more the class-room and blackboard, and in 1868, having been elected acting President of the Fort Wayne College, which was then in a state of collapse, he took charge of it, and under the stim- ulating effect of his judicious management and thorough work, it revived and began a more prosperous era. At the close of the academic year Mr. Hodge was offered the Presidency of the college, but declined as he preferred to teach mathematics. At the conclusion of the second year, the institution having passed into private hands, Mr. Hodge left Fort Wayne Col- lege and engaged in public school work. No State certifi- cates were given in Indiana until 1872. Mr. Hodge was one of the first class examined and received a first grade certifi- cate, unlimited as to time, which entitles him to teach in any school in the State without further examination. Mr.

Hodge has been a Superintendent of schools during most of the last fifteen years. There was one interval of three years during most of which he was part owner and business manager of the Warsaw Indianian. His long experience in teaching en- abled him to make the educational department of more than usual interest. In November, 1882, in consequence of the death of Mrs. Hodge's oldest brother, E. B. Mott, Jr., Mr. Hodge re- moved his family to De Kalb County, and they now live on Green Hurst farm, a place which afforded Judge Mott much pleasure and amusement during his later years. It lies about a mile north of the court-house on the Waterloo road. Mr. Hodge has always been a strong Republican, but his modera- tion of speech and his consideration for the opinions of others have prevented political enmities, and he has reckoned among his staunchest friends many who are diametrically opposed to him in politics. He is a close reasoner, accurate and logical, a man honest in purpose and deed. This sketch of him was gathered from the facts of his life without his knowledge, and judging from his habitual reserve would have been withheld had he known that it was contemplated. He is a member of the Protestant Episcopal church. Mr. and Mrs. Hodge have been the parents of nine children, most of whom are not, for God took them, in their early infancy. Egbert Mott, born Nov. 24, 1867 ; Julia Mott, Nov. 12, 1869, and Chester James, Jan. 21, 1872, alone remain to them. Perhaps the sorest grief, which ever came to Mr. Hodge or his family, was the death on the fourth Sunday in Advent, Dec. 21, 1884, of his youngest child, and dearly beloved daughter, Teresa Morris, who was named for a noble woman, Mrs. Judge Morris, of Fort Wayne. She was almost five years old, a child of unusual promise in person, mind and character. Long dark lashes shaded eyes of the deep- est blue, which looked out from a bright, sweet face upon a world in which she found much happiness and made it for oth- ers. Most loving, most truthful, most conscientious, she was a perpetual joy, an increasing delight to those who loved her. Her father was away from home when she was taken ill, and almost her first thought was for him. " Don't tell papa I have diphtheria, he will be so sorry," she begged. During her ill- ness of ten days she showed courage, patience, unfailing trust and meek submission, while through all shone the unfailing sweetness of her nature. "I do not think I suffer so much,

mamma; I do not believe you will have to lose me," she said a few hours before the end came. As the eventide fell fast, she said to her father who watched by her bed: " Please, light a lamp, papa." He went to do so, and when he brought it she was gone-so swift the transition-to the arms of everlasting Love. Her's was a short life, but rounded and pure, and made perfect through suffering.
