Col. Eli Hodge

. . . In the fall of 1864, Colonel Hodge went to Boone, Audrian, and Howard counties recruiting for the Confederate service. He was placed in command of four hundred and eighty-five men and started for Price’s army, but failed to join it on the retreat from Independence. En route he was attacked, at Cassville, by Federal troops, losing one hundred and fifty men, killed, captured, and missing. He finally reached the Confederate army at Clarksville, Tex. On the reorganization of Col. D. Williams’s regiment, he was made a lieutenant colonel. He was at Corsicana,Tex.,when the army disbanded. . .
