Marker Text: Occupying less than one acre of land , this cemetery is named for J. W. Hodge (d.1920), who purchased the surrounding property in 1870. Burials had taken place before that date, however , as indicated by the tombstones of J.S. and Sallie Clary, area landowners who were interred here in 1868. A native Texan, Hodge was a successful rancher and farmer in Bell County. He and his wife , Martha (1849-1905), are both buried here, as is Joseph Dennis 91810-1894), an early Bell County leader. Hodge Cemetery stands as a good example of a pioneer graveyard. (1985)
