RAYMOND F. HODGE 
 
        One of the younger generation of attorneys in San Bernardino, Raymond E.
Hodge has already established himself as second to none in legal acquirements
and as a master of the law. He has created confidence in himself by his handling
of cases given to him, and his increasing patronage shows that the public recog-
nizes his skill. His recreation seems to be hard work and research and, blessed
with fine intellect, educational advantages and a determination to succeed, he is
well known as a worth-while man. His friends predict many honors in store for him
in the not distant future. Mr. Hodge was born in Denver Colorado, May 18, 1884,
a son of Morgan C. and Emma J. (Wood) Hodge. the father a native of Ohio and 
his mother of New York. Morgan C. Hodge was a traveling salesman until he 
came out to California and located in Rialto. Here he entered the scholastic 
field, becoming a teacher in the public schools of that city. He taught for ten
years, and now has retired and is living in Rialto. His wife died in 1908. They 
were the parents of three children. Of whom the subject of this sketch was the 
oldest, Harry is assistant manager of the Colton Globe Mill at Colton, and 
Victor is athletic instructor in Santa Rosa, California. Raymond E. Hodge was
educated in the grammar and high schools of San Bernardino, from whence he 
graduated, going then to the Leland Stanford Jr. University. He was graduated 
from there with the class of 1908, with the degree of A. B. He took the pre-
legal course and then entered the law offices of W. J. and J. W. Curtis and was
admitted to the bar in July, 1908. He was with them nearly a year, when he was
appointed deputy district attorney under Rex Goodcell. He remained in the 
office of the district attorney until January, 1915, and then formed a partnership
with S. W. McNabb, which has since continued successfully. The firm does a 
general practice and is all the time forging ahead. Mr. Hodge was united in
marriage in June, 1910, with Bernice Anna Knoll, a daughter of Edward and
Clara Knoll, of Riverside. Mrs. Hodge was born in Illinois, came to Riverside, 
California, as a child with her parents, and was educated in the public and high
schools of Riverside. She is a member of the Women's Club of Rialto. Mr. and
Mrs. Hodge are the parents of two-children, Robert E. and Geraldine E. Mr. 
Hodge is politically a republican and in religion is a Methodist . Among his
fraternal connections are those of San Bernardino Lodge No. 836, B. P. O. E.,
and the San Bernardino Lodge No. 348, A. F., and A. M. He is also a mem-
ber of the San Bernardino Bar Association, the Delta Chi college fraternity
and the Progressive Business Club, National.
