Biographical History
Rhode Island-born Galen Hodges (1813-1884) moved to Texas by 1838 and settled in Matagorda County. A leader in the community, Hodges served in various capacities, including postmaster, alderman, surveyor, and general inspector. Additionally, he was a chairman of the Matagorda county Democratic executive committee as well as a treasurer of the Southern Rights Association. For approximately one year, 1858-1859, Hodges owned the Matagorda Gazette, a weekly newspaper. He died in 1884 en route to a meeting of Confederate veterans.
