  JOSEPH ARTHUR HODGINS, who is engaged in cultivating a farm of seventy acres in Grand Chute township, is a native.of this township in Outagamie county, born June 22, 1869, a son of Patrick and Julia (O'Hare) Hodgins, the former born in County Louth, Ireland in 1826, and the latter of Irish parentage in Canada, May 1, 1832. Patrick Hodgins was nineteen years of age when he came to the United States, and he first located near Philadelphia; in Bucks county, Pennsylvania, where for about five years he worked as a farm hand. He then went to Milwaukee for a short period, and later took up 160 acres from the government, later selling forty acres of this property to a French-Indian named Jake Curdy. He continued to cultivate this property up to the time of his death, at the age of seventy-eight years, changing the land from a wilderness covered with masses of white pine timber into one of the finest properties in the township. His widow survived him only two weeks. Of their ten children six are living: Theresa, the wife of Alpheus Crowe, of Lawrence, California; Katharine, who is single and resides with her brother, Joseph A.; Sarah, the widow of Harry Lowell, of Seattle, Washington; Etta, a teacher, residing with her brother, Joseph A.; Joseph Arthur; and Peter, connected with the Denver postoffice department. Joseph Arthur Hodgins attended the Second and Third ward schools of Appleton, and at the age of nineteen years became a school teacher, continuing as such in this district for one year. He then worked out among the farmers for a short time, but at the time of the death of his oldest brother, he went home and there he has continued to operate to this time. He has seventy acres devoted to general farming, to which he now gives his entire attention, although at one time he was a partner in the Lowell Drug Comhpany. He is a member of the Bankers' Life Insurance Company of Des Moines, Iowa, is a member of the Roman Catholic Church and of the Catholic Order of Foresters, and is independent in politics and serving as school clerk. Mr. Hodgins is unmarried.
