| 7451 | LKH note: news article gives some details about how the family was living. Centenarian Dying. Monroe Hedges is Said to be 105 Years Old. In a ramshackle hut in the rear of 1012 Rhode Island street, lies an old man, who says he is 105 years old, at the point of death. The old man is Monroe Hedges, known in the part of the city in which he lives as “Granddad Hedge.” The house in which he lives, with several sons, was, at one time, a stable. It has since been turned into a house of two small rooms. Until Tuesday of last week the old man retained all his faculties, and pulled himself about the small, dirty yard in a chair. In someway (the sons could not explain) blood poisoning affected his right arm and leg and gangrene developed. Hedges has five sons and one daughter living, the oldest son, Hiram Hedges, being seventy-one years’ old. The youngest member of the family is Fames Hedges. Another member of the family says James is about forty years old. The names of the other children are Jonas, Roe, Dudley and Louanna. The old man is said to have been born in Flemingsburg, Ky., on the site of the court-house, 105 years ago the 11th day of last February. He has often spoken of fighting in a are, but the members of the family can not tell in what war he served. They think, however, that it was the Mexican war. Hedges moved with his family to this city twenty-two years ago. His wife died about three months ago, eighty-seven years old. The family lives on a pension paid to Monroe Hedges for the death of a son in the civil war. The Indianapolis News, Indianapolis, Indiana. Wednesday, 18 October 1899. | Hedges, Monroe (I449)

| 7488 | LKH Note: The Abraham Hunt who died 9 Sept 1851 in Randolph County, Indiana is not this Abraham. The Abraham Hunt who died in Indiana was the son of Ralph and Rachel Hunt. See note in Find a Grave. Also notes from Quaker meetings. Information from Tucker's History of Randolph County, Indiana. Published 1882 Another contributor has made the following suggestions. At this time I will keep the spelling from the 1882 source on the memorial. Many people spelled names differently. I don't know which way he spelled it. The "error" could have been made by the person recording the church information. This way, both options are available to the person researching this family. "According to cemetery records, your Abram Hunt's name was actually Abraham. He was born on 10/2/1784. Would you add to your memorial page? Thanks.

| 7500 | LKH note: There is conflicting information about Oliver Fitt and who he married. It is possible that there are two Oliver Fitts. Oliver Fitt, born c. 1864 in Canada, son of Thomas Fitt (b. England) and Elizabeth Fitt (b. Canada), appears in his parent’s household in the 1880 census in Springwells, Wayne County, Michigan. Oliver P. Fitt (b. 10 Dec 1863, Canada) died 23 Feb 1915 in Chicago. Occupation switchman, father Thomas Fitt (b.England). Info from abstract on Ancestry of Oliver’s death record in Cook County, Illinois. Olive P. Fitt (b. Canada) married Sophia M. Denney (b. Canada) on 7 Apr 1884 in Bay City, Bay County, Michigan. Info from their marriage record. Oliver Fitt married Kate Slattery on 27 Jan 1886 in Fountain County, Indiana. Info from their marriage record. The Indiana marriage record does not include where they were born. So far, I have been unable to find any Oliver Fitt anywhere in the 1900 or the 1910 census. Sophia Fitt appears in an 1886 city directory for Bay City, Michigan as a dressmaker. Oliver does not appear in that directory. Sophia Fitt appear in the 1920 census in Chicago as the sister-in-law of William Watson (married to Lydia (Denney) Watson) Sophia is listed as a widow, age 55, born c.1865 in Canada. She’s a clerk in a dry good store. Katherine Fitt appears in 1900 US census in Danville, Vermilion County, Illinois. She is listed as born 37 years old, born in April 1866 Indiana. The only other member of her household is Mary Fitt age 12, born Nov 1887 in Indiana. Mary is listed a Katherine's granddaughter. Mary (Fitt) Gilkison’s information in the abstract of her entry in the Illinois death and stillbirths index gives her father as Oliver Fitt, born in Canada and mother as Katherine Slatery born in Covington, Indiana. | Fitt, Oliver (I1939)
