Charles C. Hodgdon

I can find nothing on Charles C. Hodgdon. However, I do find information on a Charles E. Hodgdon who lived in Sangerville with his mother and brother in 1930. She was divorced then and working as a servant for the owner of the house. In 1932 she married another Sangerville man, Orman Gray. They lived in Sangerville in 1940, but Charles doesn't seem to be living with them.

If Charles E. Hodgdon is our man, then he enlisted in November 1942. This man was the right age, born in 1924. At the time of his enlistment in the Army Air Corps, he was working in Portland as a laborer in some kind of clothing mill.

A death record for Charles E. Hodgdon has him dying in Vermont in 1980 of metastatic cancer. He is said to be the son of Ellsworth Hodgdon and Kathleen Given and was born in Rumford. In the 1930 census he is with his mother, Kathleen Hodgdon, and two other siblings. What further lends weight to this man being the right Hodgdon is that he is buried in the Sangerville Village Cemetery. Perhaps the yearbook had his middle initial wrong. One can only guess.
