Frank P. Hodgdon
Frank P. Hodgdon, for the past six years, superintendent for the York Manufacturing company died suddenly at his home in Saco, Mon. morning, aged 64 years and five months. The death of Mr. Hodgdon came so suddenly that it was a shock to Saco people and many Biddeford residents as well. While he had not been in the best of health for several years, owing to close application to his work, he was about Sunday as usual attending to his duties. Even during the evening he took part in the evening services at the Cutts Avenue Baptist Church. He went home from church at the close of the services and retired early. At 11 o'clock he was nervous and restless, Dr. william T Cox was called to attend him. He was quieted and was able to get a little sleep. He arose early. Shortly afterward he became afflicted with his former troubles, physicians were again called. He lapsed into unconsciousness and death followed a short time later as the result of heart trouble. Mr. Hodgdon was born August 9, 1853, in Saco where he had always made his home. When he was 14 years old, he went to work for the York Manufacturing company in the finishing room. When he was 21 years of age he was made second hand under Overseer James L. Emery. He held that position until 1880. The he was made overseer of the cloth hall, a position he had until six years ago. While he was overseer of cloth hall thousands of yards of cloth manufactured by the yard passed through his department. He was a thorough mill man and when Horace S. Hall resigned his position as superintendent he was chosen as his successor and had since hilled the position to the satisfaction of the directors, Agent Elmer E. Page, and the employes of the corporation. While he was superintendent he was confronted with the many problems arising from the war, and measured up to his task in such an able manner that he was frequently commended by those in authority over him. In spite of the busy life he led as overseer of the cloth hall and superintendent he still found time to enter into the municipal life of the city and served ably as a member of the common council and of the board of aldormen. He was also assistant engineer of the Saco fire department. In addition to his business and political activities he found time to devote to his church being clerk of the Cutts Avenue Baptist church for nearly a quarter of a century, filling the position in the same conscientious and pain staking manner which characterized everything he did. He was a member of the Saco lodge of Odd Fellows and Mystic Tie lodge, K. of P.
