The tribute of his Northern brethren to beloved
Dr. Hoge is found in II Samuel, third chapter, thirty-eighth verse.
(Signed)
And the king said unto his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?
Looks natural in death.
A few friends were admitted to see
Dr. Hoge's body.
His face looked younger than in life, and all traces of emaciation which were evident during his last illness had disappeared.
His countenance was natural and untroubled, and his figure, as he lay upon a couch, with his head and shoulders slightly raised upon a pillow, looked majestic.
A photograph was taken of the deceased for the members of the family.
