| 7953 | 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 James 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 war, but the members of the family cannot 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)

| 7988 | LKH note: Text from: The Fern family of Rowan County, N.C., Nicholas, Ky, Indiana, Iowa. Compiled by Mary Margaret Kern Garrard. Limited Edition Printed 1968. Page 42.

Mrs. Mary Eithel Kern Worley of Bedford, Ind., is daughter of Edward's son Jasper. She gave us (1967) a list of Edward's children which does not entirely tally with the census.

| 7990 | 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.

| 7992 | LKH note: The date does not match the dates given by Mary Hedges Reiner.

|
| 7996 | LKH note: 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. | Hedges, Jonathan Kiher (I662)

| 7999 | LKH note: There are two entries for William Hedges (1765-1848) on Find a Grave. I have entered the Find a Grave information for his burial at Tarlton Cemetery in Pickaway County, Ohio because it is better documented. It matches the documentation in Joanne Eustice's book, matches information on the cemetery card shared on that Find a Grave entry, and is also linked to his wife and children. The other Find a Grave entry gives his burial as Augustus Cemetery, Clearcreek Township, Fairfield County, Ohio; and notes that he is the husband of Catherine Yantis. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/9046635/william-hedges | Hedges, William (I5571)
