Bruce,
Thank you for your reply and the very helpful sources for research. Do you know where I might find a copy or transcription of the Col. Eli Hodge (obituary) from the 1925 Confederate Veteran?
You might be interested in the newspaper article at the following link. http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn89066316/1922-10-24/ed-1/seq-4/ .
Thanks again for your help.
