INTRODUCTION
The John D. Hodges Papers primarily document the career and accomplishments of John D. Hodges (1884-1936) – for biographical materials see 6:6-15; 8:5 – although a notable exception to this generalization is the large quantity of material relating to the Click Family of Davie County (1:1-22). Researchers will also find materials relating to other members of the Hodges Family scattered throughout the collection (2:13,15-18; 6:1,26,32,40,47-48,63; 8:6-11). Although there are many people and topics represented in the collection, as the descriptions below will show, it is particularly rich in materials relating to education in North Carolina
Arrangement: This collection is arranged into twelve (12) series and, within series, materials are arranged alphabetically. The twelve series are: Click Family, ca. 1820-1935; Correspondence, 1882-1961; Financial, 1930-49; Genealogy, ca. 1920s-1940s; Legal, 1815-1959; Literary, 1871-1942; Maps, ca. 1866; Photos, ca. 1870-1965; Postcards, ca. 1950s; Printed, 1889-1950; Prints, ca. 1880-1900; and School Documents, ca. 1880-1900.
Provenance: This collection was purchased at an estate sale in Randolph County by Bob Loy and sold to the Museum by Loy on March 16, 1984. The Hodges Papers were assigned accession number 1984.29.6, and the photographs in the collection were assigned accession number 1984.29.10.
Processing: This collection was organized and the finding aid prepared by J. Timothy Cole between November 1995 and January 1996.
BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE
John D. Hodges (1844-1936), son of Joeseph Wells Hodges and Mary Magdelene Click Hodges, was a Confederate veteran and North Carolina educator from Davie County, NC. During the Civil War he served in Company H of the 63rd North Carolina Cavalry and participated in the Gettysburg campaign. He was later very active in the North Carolina Division of Confederate Veterans. Hodges graduated from Trinity College in 1873, and pursued a career in education. He became head of several schools in North Carolina, among them Augusta Seminary and Hodges School, both located in Davie County, New Berne Academy, and Cooleemee High School. He was also active in North Carolina politics and a protégé of Furnifold M. Simmons.
Hodges married Sallie Augusta Thompson in 1896, and had 6 children: Mary Magdalene, Joseph Wells, John Daniel, Ruth Click, Sara Rebecca, and Paul Eustace Hodges.

SCOPE & CONTENT NOTE
The vast majority of the collection covers the time period from about 1870-1936. Types of materials include: manuscripts, diaries, speeches, reports, photos, a map, correspondence, financial records, school and legal documents, postcards, broadsides, news clippings, advertising cards, brochures, catalogs, certificates, envelopes, flyers, invitations, pamphlets, programs and prints.
Researchers interested in the history of education in late 19th and early 20th century North Carolina will find the collection to be especially useful; it is particularly rich in photos, flyers, catalogs, broadsides, documents, and programs relating to academies and schools with which Hodges was associated (8:15-20; 10:2,4-6,13,33,35-38,52-53,55; 12:1-2).
Also of interest are Hodges’ reminiscences of the Civil War (6:7,13-16) and Trinity College (6:44,57); his views on political issues in North Carolina such as farmer’s rights (6:72), prohibition (6:54), the Negro (6:35), and the role of the Democratic Party (6:5,24,53); Hodges’ correspondence with F.M. Simmons, a prominent North Carolina Democrat and white supremacist (2:26); and materials relating to Confederate Veterans organizations such as the UCV and UDC (2:31; 6:58-61; 6:87-90; 10:12,17,32,34,56-58).
