    • AGED WOMAN DEAD
      MRS. JULIA A. HEDGES WHO CAME HERE SEVENTY YEARS AGO
      Julia A. Hedges, who is believed to have nearly been 100 years old, was found dead in bed at her home, 1012 Rhode Island Street, yesterday morning by her son, Jonas Hedges. Her husband, Monroe Hedges, who says he was 105 years old Feb. 11, survives her.
      Mrs. Hedges came with her relatives from Flemingsburg, Fleming County, Kentucky, about seventy years ago and settled in Indianapolis. At that time Indianapolis was a village, and the greater part of the houses were located west of the river. Mr. Hedges arrived a few weeks later and he and Mrs. Hedges were married. At first they lived in a tent, but soon secured a house. Mr. Hedges was a wagon maker and he also worked on the old Madison Railroad. At present he lives in a little house back of the one occupied by his son. There is an old wagon shop on the lot, where he spends the greater part of his time. Coroner Nash held an autopsy on the remains of Mrs. Hedges yesterday and decided that death was due to senile debility.
