Asa Hodges (January 22, 1822 – June 6, 1900) was an American lawyer, slaveholder, and politician who served one term as a U.S. Representative for Arkansas's 1st congressional district from 1873 to 1875.

Biography

Born near Moulton in Lawrence County in northern Alabama, Hodges moved to Marion in Crittenden County in northeastern Arkansas. He attended La Grange Male and Female College in LaGrange, Missouri, now part of Hannibal-LaGrange University in Hannibal, Missouri. He studied law, was admitted to the bar in 1848, and practiced until 1860.

On April 17, 1858, he married Caroline Sarah Turpin Chick, the widow of his relative, John W. Hodges.

Slaveholder

Prior to the American Civil War, Hodges owned many slaves near Memphis, Tennessee.

Political career

He served as delegate to the Arkansas constitutional convention in 1867. He was a member of the Arkansas House of Representatives for a partial term in 1868 and the Arkansas Senate from 1870 to 1873.

Congress

Hodges was elected as a Republican to the 43rd United States Congress (March 4, 1873 – March 3, 1875) to Arkansas' First District. He did not seek reelection in 1874 to the Forty-fourth Congress and was succeeded by the Democrat Lucien C. Gause.

Thereafter, he engaged in farming.

He died near Marion and is interred next to his wife at Elmwood Cemetery in Memphis in Shelby County.
