    James Alvia Hedges
    Born Sept. 14, 1843-Died Nov.3, 1921
    oh, friend of mine, I grieve to lose
    The grip of they loving hands:
    How much we need each other here
    Each fully understand,
    But if our pathways meet no more
    In meadow-land or heather,
    Believe that when the night is come
    We’ll be at home together.
    Obituary
    James Alvia Hedges, the subject of this sketch, was born September 14, 1843, in Fleming county, Kentucky, and died at Lakeview hospital at Danville Nov. 3, 1921, age 78 years, one month and nineteen days. He was the son of William R. and Malinda Hedges.
    He spent his boyhood days in Kentucky. At the age of seventeen he enlisted in the 10th Indiana Cavalry, Co. A, serving one years, receiving an honorable discharge. Later he went to Kentucky and enlisted in the 10th Indiana cavalry, and served 2 years being discharge at the close of the war.
    Returning to his native state, he married Miss Philora Allen, Dec 26, 1865, who survives him. For fifty seven years they trod the pathway of life together.
    They came to Illinois in 1870, and lived two years, returning to Kentucky. In 1880 they came again to Illinois, settling on a farm near Homer. About twenty years ago they moved to their home in Allerton.
    To this union ten children were born, four preceding him in death. Those living are Mrs. Eva I. Clifton of Moneta, Ia.; Mrs. Serona D. Ellis of Mason, Ind; Mrs. Ada Smith of Ames neighborhood; Isaac Hedges of Spencer, Ia; Mrs. Lottie Clester of this place and George Hedges of Palmer, Ia. He leaves a large number of grand and great grandchildren.
    Peter Hedges of Canton, Mo; W.R. Hedges of Purdin Mo, and Mrs. R.S. Gilkison of Catlin are living brothers and sister.
    In early manhood he became a follower of Jesus Christ, and united with the Christian church. It may be truly said that he lived a consistent christian life. He was a faithful attendant of services at churches in Allerton when in health.
    Mr. Hedges had been failing in health for a number of years ad all that medical skill and loving tender care could do to alleviate his pain and prolong life was of no avail. Through all he was patient, always trusting Him who doeth the best, and he is at home in that land where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest.
    The funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church in this place Saturday afternoon at 1:30 o’clock, conducted by Rev. J.M. Beane of Danville, assisted by A.R. Wassell and Rev. Huff pastor of the Christian church, who resides at Jamaica. Interment at Fairfield cemetery southwest of Allerton.

    He married Philora Allen from Kentucky. In 1871 they moved to Illinois, later returning to Kentucky for a short time. They had seven children, Eva Clifton, Dee Ellis, Ada Smith, Lottie Clester, Ike, Russell and George.

    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

    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."
