    Notes:

    Two Die, Aged 93 and 82.
    Only Thirteen Hours Between Passing of Preacher and His Wife.
    Cumberland Md., Nov. 24. – The Rev. Jonathan Kieher Hedges, 93 years old, and his wife, Margaret McClung Hedges, age 92, died within thirteen hours of each other at Smoot, W.Va., yesterday.
    The Rev. Mr. Hedges, a native of Kentucky, first joined the Kentucky conference and later the West Virginia conference, this being in the early days of Methodism. His circuit at time included several counties and some years his salary did not amount to over $60.
    One son and three daughters survive.
    The Washington Post, Washington, District of Columbia. Monday, 25 November 1912, page 3.


    The news of Rev. Jonathan Hedges and his wife Margaret McClung Hedges was covered in multiple newspapers across the nation, including Washington, DC, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and as far away as Honolulu, Hawaii; and undoubtedly many more. Along the way the story was sensationalized to report that Margaret died within ten minutes of hearing of her husband’s death. One version in The Sun of New York went so far as to report “His wife, age 92, ill by his side, said when she heard he was dead, “Well, I’ll go too.” She died within ten minutes.”

    In any case, the fact that Rev. Jonathan Hedges was a well-known circuit preacher in West Virginia and the story of the aged husband and wife dying within a few hours of each other made for a touching human interest story.
