      "DIED ...
      On Tuesday evening [12 August 1823], Mr. Solomon Hedges, in the 70th year of his age. In the death of Mr. Hedges, society has been deprived of a useful member; he was highly esteemed for his many virtues; and, besides his numerous friends, has left a large family to mourn his loss."
