Shot and Killed
John M. Hedges, a brother of Walter Hedges, was shot and killed in Denver a week ago Monday, by Frank Butts. Butts, who shot Hedges was drunk. The Denver News says of Hedges: “John M. Hedges, a carpenter, who was shot and killed by Frank Butts, came to Denver from Denison, Kansas, last Aug. The delight of the wife and four children as she read the many quaint sentences of a special delivery letter received yesterday morning from the father were soon to turn to sorrowing tears as only a little later that same mother read a telegram stating the father was shot and killed.
“I cannot account for the strange tragedy,” said Mrs. Hedges. “The only thing that might cause it was the fact that Butts owned my husband money, and my husband was going to leave him.
“My husband came to this state for his health, his brother and four sisters having died of consumption. He feared the same fate.”
J.M. Hedges was 37 years of age. He leaves a wife and four young children. He also leaves one sister, Mrs. J.S. Gill, of Topeka and four brothers, Marlon, Walter, Edgar and A.V. Hedges of Kansas. His father died only six weeks ago. Walter Hedges attended the funeral of his brother at Denison, Sunday, which was held under the auspices of the Odd Fellows.

The Horton Headlight-Commercial, Horton, Kansas. Thursday, 11 April 1907.
The preliminary hearing of Frank Butts, charged with the killing of J.M. Hedges, was held in Las Animas before Justice T.D. Britton. Butts was held without bail until the term of the District Court. It is probable that the defense will try to secure a continuance. In murder cases a continuance is almost always granted over one term, and Butts’ condition is mush that he will probably never be tried for he will hardly live until November.

High Water Mark for Life Timers At Pen
James Selfridge No.6932, convicted of murder in the first degree in the district court of Mineral county, was received at the penitentiary Tuesday night to begin a life sentence in the prison. Soon after his arrival the sheriff from Bent county came with Frank Butts, who was given No.6935, who is to serve a life term for murder. Both prisoners are 30 years old.
Their arrival increased the colony of lifetimers to sixty-five, the highest number of lifers within the walls at any time during the history of the prison. The prison population is now 617, an increase of eighteen over the low water mark of two months ago.

Brief history of the 10th Kentucky Volunteer Cavalry from the Adjutant General of the State of Kentucky: "The Regiment, under the command of Col. Joshua Tevis, was immediately put upon arduous duty as the advanced guard of the Army of the Ohio, in the campaign against Gen. Kirby Smith. In November and December, 1862, having been assigned to Brig. Gen. Bilmore's division, it was employed on the line towards Knoxville, Tenn. passing the entire winter in continuous marching. During the spring and summer of 1863 the regiment was employed, by battalion, in West Virginia and Northeastern Tennessee. In Southwest Virginia one of its battalions captured the breech-loading artillery so well know in connection with the history of Marshall's invasion. The services of this regiment were of the most active and efficient character. Its skirmishes and small fights were numerous and its marches continuous and severe. Among other, this regiment participated in the engagements of Elk Fork, Tenn; Gladesville, VA; Triplett's Bridge, Ky; Lancaster, Ky; Richard, Ky (1863); and in the pursuit and rout of the rebel cavalry of Pegran and Scott, beside the numerous affairs attending the advance of Maj. Gen. Granger upon central Kentucky. The regiment was mustered out at Maysville, Ky. 17 September 1863 by Capt. R. B. Hull, United States Army."

Notes:
MHR note: Ida Cronkhite said (in pink letter of 28 December 1949) she thought that “Aunt Betty” Hopper (Eliz. B.1820) who was found with the William Ribelin Hedges family in the 1870 census, was a distant cousin through the Armstrongs. She cared for her mother who died when Betty was about 25 years old. Malinda Hedges needed help, so Betty made her home with them. She got board and room and one third of the wool. Betty was so shy she put on her sunbonnet before coming downstairs and few ever saw her face. Lonely widowers found her not only unresponsive, but unwilling to talk to them. When 81 and nearly blind, she fell downstairs and died shortly thereafter. She helped rear the second generation and “Uncle Will” said she'd been a second mother.
MHR Note: Letter from Melissa Lucinda Hedges, to her brothers, William R. Hedges, James A. Hedges and Levi M. Hedges and sister Philora (Allen) Hedges telling of their father's death. This letter was in the possession of Anna (Hedges) Bagley, Purdin, Missouri when Mary (Hedges) Reiner visited her in 1940. The heading “at home” refers to the home of William R. and Malinda R. Hedges on the bank of the Licking River at the mouth of the Bluebank, Fleming County, Kentucky, in the part of Fleming County.
At home, December 1, 1885.
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
It is with a sad heart I take up my pen to write the sad news of our dear father’s death. He departed this life Saturday, Nov. 28, at 25 minutes after six o’clock in the morning. After a serious illness of 12 day. He suffered more than tongue can tell. He lay in an unconscious state for several hours. He suffered greatly from the time he was taken. The doctor had to draw his water from him. Oh it was so hard to see him suffer so, but it had to be. Rose came to see him; staid several days then went home; came back after he was down. Ike got here after he was dead. Uncle Jesse staid with him all the time. We laid him in the old graveyard where sister Mary was laid, there to slumber till Gabriel’s trump and the voice of the Lord shall awaken the dead from the old churchyard.
I sent postals to you all when I found he was so bad, but I suppose it was not so any of you could come. He never talked about any of his children, but thought he could not live from the start. We done all we could for him but nothing done any good. He has done paid the debt we all have to pay and we can go to him; he cannot come to us; Oh how we miss him. Mother sits around and looks so sad. I can hardly bear it. She is not well. She send her love to you all.
My love to you all. Write soon as you all are very close together. I want this letter to be read by all. I would love to see you and talk to you face to face but we are far apart. Yes we are scattered – we are scattered, though a joyous band were we. Now this letter is for one and all of you. Write as often as you can.
You sister, M. L. Stenrod

Malinda Russell Cassity was born on 14 Oct 1805 in Montgomery County, Kentucky (daughter of Peter Thompson Cassity and Mary "Polly" Melissa Armstrong); died on 12 Sep 1887 in Rowan County, Kentucky; was buried in Three Lick Cemetery, Rowan County, Kentucky. Notes:
MHR note: Stories told by Ida M. (Hedges) Cronkite to Miriam Hickman. Malinda, daughter of Peter and Mary (Armstrong) Cassity married William Ribelin Hedges. "They used to say 'she lifted the limb of a tree it took two men to lift.' This is the true story. She and a small boy with his mother were hurrying to get home from a storm. Part of a tree blew down and caught the boy and pinned him down. Malinda lifted till the mother could drag him out. Next day two men went to clear the road and it took two men to lift it from the ground. This was my father's mother and he told me he had seen her lift an anvil off the block with one hand. She could weave four yards of jeans then walk four miles up hill to spend the night with a neighbor. When she was seventy, she was still spinning and weaving. The year she was eighty-two, 1887, your grandmother came with her to Illinois. They were two days on the train. There were four sons, two grandsons, and one granddaughter to visit, all in Vermilion County, but hard trips between in horse and buggy days. Then a train to Montezuma, Indiana to visit two nieces. Then to Louisville, Kentucky, where the youngest son met her with a lumber wagon to take her over a corduroy road sixteen miles to his home. Back again to Louisville and then the train on home at the mouth of Blue Bank on the Licking River near Farmers, Kentucky.
"About a week later she heard there was to be preaching at Slaty Point. This was about three miles away. There she had gone to church all her life. They had no conveyance but hadn't they always walked? So she went. At the church she got sick and they took her to the nearest neighbor and a day or two later she died. She was eighty-two years old. At the age of seventeen she went from her father's home to her husband. She moved from the old house to the new and lived sixty-five years on the same farm."
