• Notes

  Moved from Lucan, Ontario, to Ardrossan, Alberta, in 1900. Lived in a sod house until 1914. The frame house built to replace the sod house is still standing and is on the NE corner of the first intersection north of the N-S Ardrossan exit from the freeway leading east from Edmonton. Bought first car, a Ford, in 1914. Pooled resources with neighbors and bought first threshing machine in district. Tom "lacked that stern severity that characterized many of the Hodgins of the 1800's". Had more of a sense of humor than most of his brothers and preferred wrestling with nephews to talking at family gatherings.
