Return to my Collection Search Results

Collection of George P. Hodges, Sergeant, Company B., 37th Mississippi Volunteer Infantry. Includes a parole pass for Hodges, who was a prisoner of war at Vicksburg, a document related to Hodges's participation in a United Confederate Veteran's Reunion, a document related to Hodges's pension, a photograph (possibly of Hodges's in later life), Civil War Lieutenant bars, and a metal pin (possibly from a military reunion). A collateral letter from the War Department 13 August 1909 to the Commissioner of Pensions in Texas (reproduced from the Texas State Archives) indicates that Hodges enlisted in the Confederate Army 8 March 1862, was reported absent, sick, or wounded 20 July 1864, and was paroled at Greensboro, North Carolina 1 May 1865. Collateral documents, including forms related to the attempts of Hodges's widow (possibly Temperance C. Hodges) to secure his pension, indicate that he died before 1909.
