Obituary
Ezekiel W. Hodges was born February 28, 1842, in Curry County, North Carolina,
and departed this life at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Louis A. Morehouse,
in Hopkins, Missouri, at 11:55, Friday, July 29, 1915, after an illness
with something like paralysis, being stricken only a few weeks before his
demise.
In 1855 he removed with his father to Monroe County, Indiana. In August
1862 he enlisted in Company C, 97th Regiment of the Indiana Volunteer Infantry,
and served faithfully for three years. He was in the battles of Vicksburg,
and Jackson, Lookout Mountain, Chattanooga, Missinonary Ridge, and in all
the fights from Chattanooga to Atlanta. He was with Sherman in his famous
march to the sea, and thence he went to Washington where he participated
in the Grand Review in July 1865.
In 1867 he united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth J. Cunningham, near Bloomington,
Indiana. To this union nine children were born, six of whom survive him,
the wife and three children having preceeded him in death. The children
living are Mrs. Etta Miller, Mrs. Lillie Morehouse, Thomas W. Hodges, Raymond
A. Hodges, and Curtis Hodges and Mrs. Lesta E. Morehouse, all of or near
Hopkins with the exeption of Thomas W. who resides at Boise, Idaho. The
deceased came to Nodaway county in 1881 and followed farming near Hopkins
for a number of years, but for the past few years has lived in restful retirement
in this city.
Brother Hodges was converted in boyhood but never united with the church
until about eighteen months ago. In the great meeting held here at that
time he was graciously reclaimed and in clear recognition of his duty he
joined the First Methodist Episcopal Church. From that hour until the final
summons came, he led a most devoted happy and joyous Christian life. "Ready
and only waiting to be with the Lord", was his testimony. Thus another
of God's noblemen has been called to his reward. He was a kind and true
father and husband, a loyal patriot in the service of his country in time
of war and of peace, a true lover of God and all mankind. We shall miss
him, but our lose will be his gain.
"Servant of God, well done.
Rest from thy loved employ:
The battles fought, the victory won:
Enter thy Master's joy."
The voice at midnight came:
He started up to hear:
A mortal arrow pierced his frame,
He fell, but felt no fear.

The sermon being preached by Rev. H. McNamee a former pastor, now pastor of the First Methodist church of Tarkio, after which burial took place in the Hopkins Cemetery under the auspices of the Masonic lodge of which the deceased had long been a member.
The following obituary was read by Rev. McNamee.
Walter Cornealis Morehouse was born November 24, 1858, on the old Judge Morehouse homestead eight miles southwest of Hopkins, Missouri, and died at his home in Hopkins February 22, 1923. He grew to manhood on the farm where he was born where he resided continously until 1880 when he moved to Maryville. His grandfather, Judge Stephen Morehouse, was at this time probate judge of Nodaway county and Walter served four years in helping with the duties of this office. After leaving the office of the probate judge, Mr. Morehouse served two years as deputy sherriff under Frank Owens. In 1886 he returned to the old farm and devoted his attention to farming, soon afterwards purchasing a large farm east of Hopkins, that was his home until November 1, 1922, when he moved to Hopkins. On January 17,1892 Mr. Morehouse was untied in marriage to Minnie Messecar and to this union were born seven children. Mrs. Ruth Swaim, Hollister, Idaho, Henry, Walter, Harley, Virgil, Paul and Edna all of Hopkins, all being present at the funeral. Mr. Morehouse was a man of great strength of character always taking an interest in civic affairs. In politics he was a Democrat and a close student of political economy. While a member of no church, he was always found on the right side of every moral proposition. He was industrious, a good neighbor, a spleadid citizen, a loving husband and father and will be greatly missed in this community, and the sympathy of all is extended to the grief stricken wife and family. What a splendid thing to have so lived that when the great change comes, all can unite in their expression of sorrow and say, "We have lost a good neighbor, citizen and friend."
