Saturday, March 14, 1925 (The Pittsburgh Courier Pittsburgh, Pa.) RESENTED INSULT TO WIFE; SLAIN Bradenville Man Dies After Being Struck On Head By White Constable. RICHARD HODSON The alleged victim of a white constable, one William Tepper, whose brutality and indiscriminate speech directed at the mans wife had been resented, were underlying causes which led to the death of Richard Hodson, aged 54, of Bradenville last Friday evening.

injury from some heavy instrument. It was also stated that Hodson had one hundred convulsions before he expired. Tepper, who it is claimed, went to Bradenville on Monday to issue a warrant against John Cooperstadt, white, which had been filed at the office of Justice Lint of Bradenville, was unable to find Cooperstadt at home. He was told that he would probably find him at Hodsons house who lived near-by. He went to Hodsons home and Mrs. Hodson, who answered the door, informed the constable that Cooperstadt had been there but had left a half hour previous. Hodson entered the walk just as the constable was leaving and in return to his inquiry as to what was wanted, Tepper pulled back his coat and showed his badge. Hodson then asked what he had been saying to his wife and Tepper told him if he wanted to know to ask her. Owing to the fact that there had been trouble over at the Cooperstadt home between Cooperstadt and his wife, Hodson went over there later in the evening to stay with the two children. Tepper, it is reported, returned to the Cooperstadt home and on entering he found Hodson sitting in a chair and it is claimed, for no reason at all, he struck Hodson on the head with some heavy instrument. At this juncture Hodson called him a coward, for hitting a defenseless man from behind, and Tepper struck him again this time over the eye. At this point, it is said that Hodson said, You have just about killed me, so why not shoot me, it would be easier, and to this it is said Tepper replied, I will shoot you if you want me to. Hodson then went to Justice Lint to secure a warrant for Tepper but for some reason he was refused one. The next day Hodsons condition became so alarming that his wife sent for a doctor who had him removed to the hospital. It was also stated that either of the two blows dealt by Tepper were sufficient to kill him but it was Hodsons wonderful stamina that kept him alive. Hodsonwas born in Knoxville, Tennessee, in 1871, the son of William and Frances Hodson. He came to Pittsburgh in 1891 where he resided for seven years, then moving to Bradenville. He married Miss Emma Gaines in Pittsburgh in 1907 and to this union three children were born, of which one, Franceella, survives. He also leaves one sister, Mrs. Deliah Ferguson Arnold, and a niece, Mrs. Frances Moton.

Y., where I was engaged as a singer and lyric writer, I became disgusted with show writers, I was urged to send in a manuscript to Elwood C. Knox, son and manager, at once accepted by him as critic of the staff, which lasted over twenty years. It was the brains and education of Mrs. George L. Knox, deceased, that maintained the management. After her death, her son Elwood never opposed his fathers management right or wrong. Editor George L. Knox was a fine old gentleman, who always done what he thought was best for the Freeman. It was after Mr. Knox and his son had both married second wives that the Freeman
management began to fail. The show business which supported it was completely disregarded . I was then serving on the Freeman and Defender, which then had no opposition.

Saturday, August 25, 1928 (The Pittsburgh Courier Pittsburgh, Pa.) COMMUNITY MOURNS LOSS OF PROMINENT CITIZEN Matron of Davis Home Succumbs After Several Months Illness DELIA HODSON FERGUSON ARNOLD The community bemoans the demise of Mrs. Delia Hodson Ferguson Arnold, matron of the Davis Home for Colored Children and prominent club and social worker. Mrs. Arnold, daughter of the late William and Fannie Hodson, was born in Knoxville, Tenn., September 8, 1868, and departed this life, Wednesday, August 15, at 5:45 p. m., at the age of 59 years, 11 months and 14 days. She was reared and educated in the city of her birth. In 1889 she was married to the late Charles Frances Ferguson. To this union of 12 years duration, three children were born Evelyn Elizabeth, Frances Rebecca and Richard Dawson. In 1908, she came to the city of Pittsburgh and since that time resided in and around the Pittsburgh district. On September 8, 1914, she was united in marriage to the late John Arnold. The deceased was a woman of great foresight and a strong believer in the possibilities of her own people. She believed in the promotion of good citizenship and in race politics. This belief was put into effect in the attempt to organize the women of this community into a political club, the results of which we feel in a better political status of race citizens in the community today. She was a Christian woman of many noble virtues, worthy to be emulated by those who survive her. She was ever ready to lend a helping hand to those in need; always she had a smile and a word of encouragement for the careworn and depressed. Her presence in the death chamber or in the sickroom was as a ray of sunshine that comes to dispel the clouds. To really
know her was to really lover her. She was dearly loved by the younger folks; they delighted in having her in their company. Though always dignified and motherly, she could be the life of any group. Especially was she interested in the Christian development of children. At one time she taught the little ones whose parents perhaps gave never a thought to sending them to the Sunday school or to teaching them Bible stories. It was her delight to gather these little ones about her on a Sunday morning and try to inculcate into their little hearts and minds the principles that would tend to develop them into Christian men and women. Lifes a house of many windows looking out on varied views, and our natures are decided by the windows we may choose. The window chosen by this noble woman was the development of children. In November, 1926, she became matron of the Davis Home, Pittsburgh, for orphan children. She loved those children she studied them, she taught them, she mothered them; she developed in them a feeling of self-pride; she taught them to love and to respect her; she trained them to recite, to sing and to develop whatever talent she found there. Her work was most effective there. Praises were heaped upon her for the changes wrought in that institution during her stay. But the great strain began to fall, and finally, in June, she gave up her work and came home to her only daughter and lone survivor, Mrs. Frances Ferguson Moten. There she spent her last few days under the watchful and loving care of that devoted daughter and her husband. All that human hands could do these loved ones did for her, but it was Gods will to give her a greater rewarda reward of eternal rest and peace.
