Notes - The community was very painfully shocked Monday morning by the sudden death of a friend and neighbor, Marcus Hedges, who lives two miles east and one south of Cestos. The Blumer boys, his nephews, went to his home Monday morning to harvest and as they saw no stir about the place, went to the house and found him dead. So far as anyone knows, he was in perfect health. He had taken supper at the Joe Blumer home on Sunday evening and spent the evening until about eleven o’clock there, then returned to his home. ‘Mike’ as everyone called him, was a friend to all and will be greatly missed by young and old alike. His smiling face will be missed in the church, for he was always there at every service. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to his bereaved relatives.
Henry Humphrey and family were called here Monday by the death of Mrs. Humphrey’s uncle, Marcus Hedges.
