| 2031 | Hiawatha man wants murder trial moved by Elizabeth Kutter, The Gazette Cedar Rapids - Christopher Wheeler has asked to have his Jan. 26 murder trial moved out of Linn County because he believes media coverage may make it impossible for him to receive a fair trial. Wheeler's attorneys, Ahmet Gonlubol and David Grinde, brought the change of venue matter before Judge L. Vern Robinson on Tuesday. Wheeler, 21, is accused of first-degree murder in the July 28 strangling death of Shelly Razor-Markwell, 36. Wheeler lived with Razor-Markwell, a single mother at 78 Northwood Dr., Apr. 2, in Hiawatha. Defense attorney Gonlubol pointed to a jailhouse interview given by Wheeler to The Gazette within days of his arrest and television reports of the murder as evidence of the need to move the trial. Gonlubol also cited the media's repeated references to Wheeler's convictions for domestic abuse as a reason for the move. Wheeler has a lengthy criminal history in Linn County, including four convictions for domestic abuse. He remains in Linn County jail in lieu of $500,000 bail. Robinson has not yet ruled on the matter. The Gazette, Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Thursday, 27 November 2003. | Razor, Shelley Kay (I3909)

| 2044 | History of Frederick County, Maryland, from the earliest settlements to the beginnings of the War Between the States. By T.J.C. Williams. pp1322. David L. Hedges, one of the leading farmers of Walkersville District, cultivates 196 acres. He is tenant on the N.A. Fulton farm, near the town of Walkersville, where he has been located for a period of thirty-two years, which is undoubtedly a record for a tenant in Frederick County. In 1898, he built a fine farm, 50x100 feet, which is equipped as elegantly as any in that section. Mr. Hedges is also the owner of the Percheron stallion “Triceps,” who is 17 ½ hands high, weighs 1850 pounds, and was imported from France. He is the third stallion to be recorded according to law in Frederick County, and Mr. Hedges owned the second one, “Dewey,” of the same breed, which he disposed of recently in West Virginia. Mr. Hedges possesses a genial disposition and is a man of much intelligence. He was born on the old homestead, five miles north of Frederick, November 15, 1854. His parents were Daniel A. and Catharine M. (Devilbiss) Hedges. For history of the Hedges family see the sketch of Charles Hedges, of Woodsboro District. Mr. Hedges was educated in the common schools. His boyhood was spent on the home place, where he remained until he was eight years old. His father died when he was eight years old. At eighteen, he accepted a clerkship in a country store, staying for four years. He then engaged in farming. When the farm he now occupies was purchased by Mr. Fulton thirty-two years ago, Mr. Hedges applied for the rental of it, and has leased it ever since. In his political affiliations, Mr. Hedges is a Republican. He holds membership in the Glade Reformed Church, in which he has served in official capacities, having acted as superintendent of the Sunday school, deacon and elder. Mr. Hedges was married in February, 1879, to Florence Zimmerman, daughter of the late O.T. Zimmerman of Lewistown. There are four children born to this union: Harry, at home; Solomon, of Frederick City, Married Cora Carty, of that place; Harvey L.; and Margaret Hazel, at home, now in the High School of Walkersville; Harvey in the class of 1911, and Margaret of the class of 1912. | Hedges, David Lycurgus (I3387)

| 2045 | History of Kentucky and Kentuckians. E. Polk Johnson, Lewis Publishing Co, 1912, ;;1325-1326. William J. Rice. - In the thriving village of Ghent, Carroll County. Mr. Rice is found numbered among the representative citizens and most progressive and popular merchants of his native place, and he is a scion of the third generation of the family in Kentucky, where his paternal grandfather established his home in the pioneer days. William Johnston Rice was born at Ghent, Carroll county, on the 17th of March, 1865, and is a son of David R. and Elizabeth (Johnston ) Rice, the former of whom was born in Montgomery county, this state, and the latter at Aurora, Dearborn county, Indiana. The lineage of the Rice family is traced back to staunch German origin and family tradition gives ample authority for the statement that the early representatives of the name in America settled in the city of Philadelphia in the colonial epoch of our national history. David Rice, grandfather of him whose name introduces this article, was born and reared in the old Keystone state and he figures as the founder of the family in Kentucky. He made the overland journey from Philadelphia with team and wagon and numbered himself among the pioneers of Montgomery county, Kentucky, where he later removed to Carroll county, where he continued to be identified with agricultural pursuits until his death. David R. Rice was a child at the time of the family removal from Montgomery county to Carroll county, in which latter he was reared to manhood, in the meanwhile receiving such advantages as were afforded in the common schools of the locality and period. He gained prestige as one of the energetic, progressive and successful agriculturists and stock-growers of the county and with these lines of industry he continued to be actively concerned for many years. He passed the closing days of his life in the village of Ghent and was fifty-two years of age at the time of his demise. His devoted wife survived him by a number of vears and was sixty-one years of age at the time when she was summoned to the life eternal. She was a daughter of Rev. William Johnston, who was a pioneer clergyman of the Baptist church and who was well known throughout northern Kentucky and southern Indiana, throughout which section he long labored with all of zeal and consecration in the work of his chosen vocation. He was born in Ireland and was reared in the faith of the Catholic church. His father was a successful manufacturer of linen in the Emerald Isle, but at the age of seventeen years young Johnston ran away from home and finally emigrated to America. He was a man of alert mentality and for a time he was engaged in the practice of law, a profession which he soon abandoned to enter the ministry of the Baptist church, in connection with the work of which he traveled extensively throughout the northern part of Kentucky, as well as in the southern counties of Indiana. He passed the closing years of his life at LaPlata, Macon county, Missouri. He was twice married and the maiden name of his second wife (the mother of Mrs. Elizabeth Rice) was Cobb. David R. and Elizabeth (Johnston) Rice were both earnest and consistent members of the Baptist church, and his political support was given to the Democratic party. The only child is he to whom this sketch is dedicated. William J. Rice passed his boyhood and youth in Ghent and was afforded the advantages of an excellent private school and this discipline was supplemented by higher academic training in Georgetown College, at Georgetown, this state. As a young man he went to the city of Louisville, where he was associated with John A. Stratton in the realestate business for a period of eight years. He then returned to Ghent and engaged in the general merchandise business, in which he has since continued most successfully, under the firm name of W. J. Rice & Company. He initiated operation upon a modest scale and as rapidly as circumstances justified he expanded the scope of the enterprise until the establishment now under his control is recognized as the leading department store of Ghent. Careful and honorable business methods have gained to the firm a large and appreciative patronage, and the same is drawn from the fine section of countrv normally tributary to the thriving village of Ghent, where Mr. Rice has ever held the unqualified confidence and regard of all who know him, - and it may well be said that in this section of his native county not to know William J. Rice is practically to argue oneself unknown. Mr. Rice is intrinsically loyal and progressive as a citizen and is an' exponent of high civic ideals, as shown in the earnest support given by him to all measures tending to advance the general weal of the community. In politics he is found aligned as a staunch and intelligent supporter of the cause of the Republican party; he is affiliated with the Masonic fraternity, including DeMolay Commandery, Knights Templar, and Kosair Temple of the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, in the city of Louisville; and in his native village he holds membership in the lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. While a resident of Louisville he also was actively identified with the local lodge of the Benevolent & Protective Order of Elks, of which he was treasurer for four years. He and his wife are zealous members of the Baptist church in Ghent, and he has served as its treasurer for several years past. On the 7th of January, 1903, Mr. Rice was united in marriage to Miss Ella Stucy, who was born and reared in the village of Ghent and who is a daughter of Frederick Stucy, a well known resident of Carroll county and a prominent tobacco dealer of this section of the state. | Rice, William Johnston (I3566)

Stucy to Miss Anna Golay, a native of Vevay, Indiana, and a daughter of Seldon Golay, who died when Mrs. Stucy was a young girl. He was likewise born in Vevay, whither his parents emigrated from Switzerland in the early pioneer days. Mr. and Mrs. Stucy have two daughters, Ella and Estella. One son, the first born, was named Frederick, Jr., and was summoned to the life eternal when but four years of age. Ella is the wife of W. J.
