Mrs. Hodgetts, of Lewisham, who died on 19th September, 1931, after a short illness, was one of the oldest of the Institution's honorary workers. She was Honorary Treasurer of the Lewi- sham, Lee and Eltham Ladies' Auxiliary of the Life-boat Saturday Fund, and when the organization of that Fund was taken over by the Institution in 1911, she became Honorary Secretary and Treasurer of its Lewisham Branch. She held that post until her death. During those twenty years she collected for the Life-boat Service £2,445 15s. U. That was the gross sum raised by the Branch, for Mrs. Hodgetts would deduct nothing for postage and other expenses, paying these herself. In 1924 she was awarded the Framed Life-boat Picture, as a small mark of the Institution's gratitude for her help..
