MRS. TENNESEE HODGES AND TWO SONS DIE WITHIN A MONTHAshville, Nov. 29--(Special.)--About four weeks ago Mr. Luther Hodges was buried in the Ashville Cemetery and yesterday his mother, Mrs. Tennessee Hodges, and brother, Charlie Hodges were buried in the same cemetery.
They all three died of slow fever. Charlie and Luther Hodges were both about grown and were model young men. Their sister, Nora Hodges, a girl of 14, and their brother, William Hodges about 16 years of age, are now very low of fever and their deaths would not be a surprise to the community. It was the latter part of last December that their father, Mr. Alfred A. Hodges, was buried here.
