LEWISTON – Robert Alton Hodgkins, 91, a lifelong resident of Greene, passed away on Tuesday, Nov. 24, at Marshwood Center for Health Care.

He was born in Greene on Nov. 15, 1918, the son of the late Alton B. and Velma Moore Hodgkins. He was educated in Greene schools and graduated from Leavitt Institute in Turner with the Class of 1937. He was married in Turner on Aug. 30, 1941, to Elizabeth Harris Latham, who predeceased him on Sept. 20, 1981.

Prior to his retirement in 1981, he was employed in farming, logging and construction — mainly working for Addition Farms, E.A. Michaud Logging, Auburn Metal Buildings and George Farris Construction.

He was an active member of the Greene Volunteer Fire Department and the Greene Dragon’s Snowmobile Club, and an avid hunter. For many years he enjoyed horse pulling at the fairs with his own team of horses. In later years he could always be found hanging out at Lindy’s Garage.

He is survived by two sons, Robert D. of Greene, and William A. of Leeds; five grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; and a sister, Marion Additon of Leeds.

He was predeceased by two brothers, Richard and Carlton Hodgkins.
