Notes - MHR note: Levi used to have family worship at their home and he loved to sing. He sat on his porch the evening before his death and watched the sun set, and sang his favorite song:
The day is past and gone,
The evening shades appear:
Oh, may we all remember well
The night of death draws near.
We lay our garments by,
Upon our bed to rest.
So death may soon disrobe us all
Of what we now possess.
He was taken suddenly in the night by an attack of acute indigestion and was gone.
[1] - MHR note: Levi Hedges worked as a blacksmith, tanner, carpenter, and of course, farmed also.
[1] - MHR note:
