Judge James Hoge
A Good Man Gone
Death of Judge James Hoge Yesterday Morning.
The death of Judge James Hoge at his residence on Poplar Street
occurred yesterday morning about four o'clock. The death was not a
surprise to his friends as he had been falling in health for several
weeks. Judge Hope was born in December, 1808, and consequently was in
his seventy-sixth year. His parents were Virginians, who left their
native State and settled in McMinnville, Tennessee, where Judge Hoge
was born in 1830. He moved to Georgia and began merchandising in La
Fayette, Walker Country, and for a long term of years faithfully served
that county as ordinary. In 1857 be moved to Atlanta and was agent
for the Western and Atlantic Railroad before the close of the war. He
then removed to Alabama, and after a short residence returned to the
State of his adoption, taking the position, in 1872 of depot agent at
Macon for the then Macon and Augusta Railroad. When that road was
leased to the Central he was placed in charge of the uptown union
ticket office, and continued in that capacity until his failing health
some time ago forced him to relinquish it.
In his early manhood, Judge Hoge connected himself with the
Presbyterian Church and for forty-five years was a ruling elder. His
life was a pure one and he died a Christian.
He leaves a large family of ten children; nine are living, the oldest
son having been killed at the first battle of Manassas. With the
exception of a son and daughter, all his children were with him at his
death. He was the father of Colonel H. F. Hoge, of the Atlanta Journal,
and Messer’s. Samuel and Joseph Hoge, of the Central Railroad.
The funeral will take place this afternoon at 3 o’clock.
