    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.

    Notes:

    MHR note: Ida Cronkhite said (in pink letter of 28 December 1949) she thought that “Aunt Betty” Hopper (Eliz. B.1820) who was found with the William Ribelin Hedges family in the 1870 census, was a distant cousin through the Armstrongs. She cared for her mother who died when Betty was about 25 years old. Malinda Hedges needed help, so Betty made her home with them. She got board and room and one third of the wool. Betty was so shy she put on her sunbonnet before coming downstairs and few ever saw her face. Lonely widowers found her not only unresponsive, but unwilling to talk to them. When 81 and nearly blind, she fell downstairs and died shortly thereafter. She helped rear the second generation and “Uncle Will” said she'd been a second mother.


    MHR Note: Letter from Melissa Lucinda Hedges, to her brothers, William R. Hedges, James A. Hedges and Levi M. Hedges and sister Philora (Allen) Hedges telling of their father's death. This letter was in the possession of Anna (Hedges) Bagley, Purdin, Missouri when Mary (Hedges) Reiner visited her in 1940. The heading “at home” refers to the home of William R. and Malinda R. Hedges on the bank of the Licking River at the mouth of the Bluebank, Fleming County, Kentucky, in the part of Fleming County.

    At home, December 1, 1885.
    Dear Brothers and Sisters:

    It is with a sad heart I take up my pen to write the sad news of our dear father’s death. He departed this life Saturday, Nov. 28, at 25 minutes after six o’clock in the morning. After a serious illness of 12 day. He suffered more than tongue can tell. He lay in an unconscious state for several hours. He suffered greatly from the time he was taken. The doctor had to draw his water from him. Oh it was so hard to see him suffer so, but it had to be. Rose came to see him; staid several days then went home; came back after he was down. Ike got here after he was dead. Uncle Jesse staid with him all the time. We laid him in the old graveyard where sister Mary was laid, there to slumber till Gabriel’s trump and the voice of the Lord shall awaken the dead from the old churchyard.

    I sent postals to you all when I found he was so bad, but I suppose it was not so any of you could come. He never talked about any of his children, but thought he could not live from the start. We done all we could for him but nothing done any good. He has done paid the debt we all have to pay and we can go to him; he cannot come to us; Oh how we miss him. Mother sits around and looks so sad. I can hardly bear it. She is not well. She send her love to you all.

    My love to you all. Write soon as you all are very close together. I want this letter to be read by all. I would love to see you and talk to you face to face but we are far apart. Yes we are scattered – we are scattered, though a joyous band were we. Now this letter is for one and all of you. Write as often as you can.
    You sister, M. L. Stenrod

    Notes:

    MHR note: When Mary "Polly Ann" (Hedges) Cassity died, her body was hauled on a sled drawn by an ox-team which forded a stream to get to Morehead. She is buried in Hargis Cemetery near the rail road tracks in Morehead.

    LKH note: Burials in the Hargis Cemetery were relocated during the Cave Run Lake construction project, 1965-1974. Some burials were relocated to Alfrey Cemetery. However, I can find no information for relocation of James Albert Cassity and his family.

    MHR note: Mary Ann Cassity is given as "Polly Ann" on the stone. The Hargiss Cemetery is across a very narrow road from the railroad tracks. the graves have coffin-like covers and there is a tiny one beside theirs and a child-sized one next to that, both without inscriptions.

  11. 16.  Rosanna Hedges Descendancy chart to this point (5.Levi2, 1.William1) was born about 1803 in Fleming County, Kentucky.

    Notes:

    LKH note: I find no other records of Rosanna other than MHR listing her among Levi and Rosannah's children. Some family trees on Ancestry give her birth and death date both as 1803, but offer no documentation.

    In accounting for the ages of family members who should be in Levi's household in the 1820, 1830, and 1840 US census, it appears that Rosanna could have died as an infant in 1803.

    Notes:

    MHR note: He may have been named "Levi" Monroe Hedges as a "Levi Hedges", brother of Sarah (Hedges) Gilkison used to visit her at times, walking in and was from some distance away - said Martin "Luther" Gilkison to MHR on his 82nd birthday. He said he had supposed his father, Levi "Monroe" Gilkison, had been named for that brother, who did not enjoy being scuffled with by Luther and his brothers, and "Luther", himself was a small tike. He thought the great uncle looked about 65 years old. He would say "Get away; get away; get away" when they wanted to scuffle.

    LKH note: MHR only listed three children: Francis M. Hedges, Hiram C. Hedges, and James Hedges. She gave estimated birth years all prior to 1850. However only Francis M., age 10, and Hiram C. Hedges age 6 appear in the 1850 census record. However, James Hedges age 14 does appears in the 1860 census record.

    LKH note: information for all other children born after James are added from census information from 1860 and 1870.

    Five Pioneers Who Found Indiana’s Climate Conducive To Longevity.
    Some Centenarians
    Anderson special: Action has been brought by one of Alexander Ferguson’s daughters to have a guardian appointed for him. Ferguson lives in Gilman. He has just passed his one hundred and seventh birthday. The action for the guardian has brought to light the fact that there are five people in this (Madison) county who have passed the hundred-year mark. Ferguson is the dean of the men, and his sister, Mrs. Bettie Carrolton, who lives near Franklin, heads the women with 111 years to her credit. Summitville claims the next distinction, presenting Thomas Wells, age 104. Wells was born in Falmouth, Pendleton county, Kentucky, in 1793, but has lived in Indiana since 1824. Monroe Hedges was 105 years of age on the 11th of last February, and he looks it. He has been a cripple for fifteen years, and is scarcely able to move. Mentally, however, he is active and he sees the bright side of life. He is poor and lives with his eight-year-old wife and two sons. He is a Kentuckian by birth.

    Whipped His Baby
    Monroe Hedges, 106 years old, whipped his 80-year-old son Hiram at Indianapolis the other day and placed him in the hands of surgeons. The father lives in a little house in Anderson, Ind. He claims the distinction of being the man who drove the first spike on the first railway ever constructed in Indiana. His 89-year-old wife died recently. His strength and metal activity war something marvelous. Hiram was one of the babies of the family.

    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 Fames 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 are, but the members of the family can not 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.

    A Disgraceful Row.
    A row occurred yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock at a picnic of thirty or forty drunken men and women in the woods north of the Insane Asylum, which cam near resulting in another Sunday murder. The crowd was composed of a very disreputable class, which had gone to the woods with two kegs of beer for the deliberate purpose of getting drunk. About 3 o'clock Monroe Hedges, an old man, who had taken a part of the crowd out in this wagon, began hitching up the team, and announced his intention of coming to town. George Barnaby declared that he should not leave until the rest were ready to go, and a fight followed, in which Barnaby knocked the old man down with a club. A general fight ensured, in which nearly the whole crowd took a hand. It was at first supposed that Hedges had been killed, and a telephonic message to that effect was sent to town. The superintendent of police and several officers went out to the place, but found that Hedges had recovered consciousness, and no one was dangerously injured. George Barnaby had an ugly gash cut in his forehead, where he had struck with a whip-stock by Jonas Hedges, a son of the old man, with whom the fight begun. One shot was fired, but no one was wounded. The police returned to the city without making any arrests, but al who participated in the row will probably be prosecuted before the justices this morning.

    Indianapolis Sentinel---October 19, 1899

    MONROE HEDGES IS DEAD
    RELATIVES CLAIM HE WAS 105 YEARS OLD

    Monroe Hedges, who was thought to be the oldest person in Indianapolis, died at 3o'clock yesterday afternoon in a ramshackle hut in the rear of 1012 Rhode Island Street. His relatives claim that he was 105 years old.

    Hedges was known in the part of the city where he lived as "Granddad Hedges." He was a familiar figure about the streets and enjoyed good health until a few weeks ago. Until Thursday of last week he retained his mental faculties and was able to pull himself about the small, dirty yard in a chair. Blood poisoning set in, however, and gangrene affected his right arm and leg. Hedges leaves five sons and one daughter. The oldest son is seventy-one years old and the youngest about forty-five years old.

    He was born in Flemingsburg, KY., on the spot where the court house now stands. He was a soldier in the Mexican War and was also a member of the "home guards" during the Civil War. He located in Indianapolis shortly before the war broke out and he delighted to tell of the skirmishes the guards had with the "guerillas."

    Until recently Mr. Hedges boasted that he was never whipped in his life and made the assertion that he never expected to be. Recently his son Hiram got into an argument with his wife and decided to give her a whipping. His father interfered, however, and knocked him out with a cane. The incident caused considerable comment and New York and Chicago papers sent here for accounts of the old man. Mrs. Hedges died about six months ago at the age of eighty-seven years. The surviving children are: Hiram, James, Jonas, Ross, Dudley, and Louisa.


    Indianapolis News---October 18, 1899

    Monroe Hedges died late yesterday afternoon at his home in the rear of 1012 Rhode Island Street. His extreme age attracted many curious people to the ramshackle hut in which he lived. Members of the family say there is no doubt that he was nearly 106 years old, although they can not prove it.

    Hedges often boasted that he had never been whipped in his life, and recently beat his seventy-one year old son with a cane. Undertaker Weiss said the dead man looked at least 106 years old. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon and the burial will be in Mount Jackson Cemetery, at the side of his wife, who died last May.

    Two Die, Aged 93 and 82.
    Only Thirteen Hours Between Passing of Preacher and His Wife.
    Cumberland Md., Nov. 24. – The Rev. Jonathan Kieher Hedges, 93 years old, and his wife, Margaret McClung Hedges, age 92, died within thirteen hours of each other at Smoot, W.Va., yesterday.
    The Rev. Mr. Hedges, a native of Kentucky, first joined the Kentucky conference and later the West Virginia conference, this being in the early days of Methodism. His circuit at time included several counties and some years his salary did not amount to over $60.
    One son and three daughters survive.
    The Washington Post, Washington, District of Columbia. Monday, 25 November 1912, page 3.


    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.

    Notes:

    MHR note: Possibly moved to New Orleans. Said to have never married. Peter Thompson Hedges, his nephew, ran across him at New Orleans. A t that time he was a huckster and had never married. Ida Cronkhite (daughter of Peter Thompson Hedges) said that James had quarreled, at 19 with his brother David R. Hedges and had then left home. Aunt Rosannah said that someone had probably killed him, but "Cappy" said no. [Cappy is P.T. Hedges]

    MHR note: letter from Ida Cronkhite dated 11 March 1951. James Hedges was the youngest son of Levi Hedges and ran a huckster wagon, if you know what that means. He started on a trading trip at the age of 19 and never came back. His mother was sure he had been murdered for his team and wagon, but father met someone who had met him at New Orleans with a fleet of three trade trucks and he sent a defiant message to his brother, David, next oldest, and the family black sheep. After that, the only thing was a funeral notice (in a church paper about 1921) of an elder of the church near Cumberland Gap who left a family and was the son of Levi and Rosannah. He never communicated with any of the family.

    MHR note: This is NOT the James W. Hedges who was convicted as a confederate spy at Mount Washington, Bullitt County, Kentucky, 13 March 1863. Stopped by two US detectives and said he was an officer, Confederate Army Captain. He was sentence to be hung, Friday 30 October 1863.

    The Democratic Advocate, Westminster, Maryland. Saturday, 5 November 1892, page 3.


    A Sudden Death
    The Community Shocked by the Passing Away of a Good Citizen.
    This community was startled yesterday afternoon, about 4 o’clock, to hear of the sudden death of Mr. Lycurgus E. Hedges. He was going to Zacharias’ stable to get his team to take a ride, leaving his wife at home waiting for him. Near Trinity M.E. Church he stopped to assist some men pull a limb from a tree and then walked on out Second street, where, at the Novitiate, he was seized with illness and falling to the pavement in front of the Novitiate expired in a few minutes. Mr. Jerome Ford was in front of him and hearing a peculiar noise turned just in time to see him fall. Dr. F.F. Smith was immediately summoned but found life extinct. Mr. Frank T. Rhodes, who was passing at the time in his wagon, procured a mattress from the Novitiate and took the sad burden home. Mr. Hedges had been failing in health for some time, having suffered two attacks of grip. The death of an only child last spring further prostrated him, and though apparently better, he never rallied from these physical infirmities, and the sever mental strain caused by affliction.

    Lycurgus Edward Hedges was born in this county, and has spent many years of his life in this community. In early life he taught school, afterwards removing to town where he clerked for a while, and subsequently engaged in the grain and flour business, at one time being located on East Patrick street. Several years ago he retired from business and has since led a retired live. Quiet, unobtrusive in his manners, he never sought any public position for emolument or honor, though in all capacities where he served he did so with great credit to himself and honor to the community. He had been a trustee and manager of the board of Montevue Hospital; a director in the First National bank; president of the board of managers of Mt. Olivet cemetery, and an officer of the Reformed church. He married Miss Amanda Baker, of Washington county, who survives him. Of his immediate family there remain two brothers, Adam and Abraham Hedges, residing respectively in Georgetown, D.C., and Lewistown, this county, and a sister, Mrs. Wm. H. Derr, of Baltimore.

    Mr. Hedges was in the 67th year of his age. In his death Frederick loses one of its best citizens. He was an upright, honest man, who in all the walks of life commanded the esteem of his associates. He was a firm friend and a wise counselor, and in all respects his sound judgment was unerring. As a faithful husband, an indulgent father, his place can never be filled. He was a pleasant companion, always popular among his friends and withal a man who will be sadly missed by a large circle of friends. Of him it can be truly said he was one of nature’s noblemen, and his memory will live ever green in the hearts of all who knew his intrinsic worth.
    His funeral will take place Thursday morning at 11 o’clock; interment in Mt. Olivet cemetery.

    MHR note: in letter from Ida Cronkhite dated 13 February 1951. Addison W. Hedges died while the Civil War was on. He was living in Texas, and was drafted into the Confederate Army, and died in hospital. After the war, the widow and her two small sons and the 2 older by a former marriage, visited Kentucky. Early in 1880 Father got a postal card saying what had become of the boy. We learned later that Robert, age 18, rode away telling some of his mates that he was going to Illinois. He never arrived, but met with a band of bandits and was murdered in Colorado. Will's wife wrote to my father, 1923, of her husband's death. No children.

    Notes:

    Story about Vianna in her grandson Lucian White's notes from newspaper article about Lucian's skills making dulcimer.
    * * * * *
    The Kentucky hills and its people, especially his grandmother Vianna Hamm, are what White likes to talk about most. “Oh,” he exclaimed, “every boy should have a grandmother like that to tell him stories.”
    It was right after the Civil War when the southern general John Hunt Morgan paid his last visit to White’s grandmother’s hunting lodge, White said. Morgan used to come there before the war for recreation and hunting and White’s grandparent’s hospitality.
    Grandfather Hamm had gotten a land grant to run the lodge and the area was excellent for hunting fox, white-tailed deer and the like. Also had good fishing, White said.
    Well Morgan was one of those generals who never did surrender. He became leader of an outlaw band and would ride in, steal horses and loot a place at the drop of a hat. If there wasn’t any loot worth having or he met resistance in taking it, he’d have his men set all the buildings on fire.
    When they came riding into his grandmother’s after her husband had died, she was down in a cellar along, White said. The outlaws were bent on stealing the horses from the corral but were unable to get them out. “For some reason the horses just ran around in the corral making a commotion.”
    His grandmother ran up from the cellar and accosted the outlaws by herself. White said “John Hunt Morgan!” she shouted at the former general. “Is this the tanks you give me for slaving over a hot cookstove while you were out hunting?
    Morgan just looked down from his big horse and motioned for his men to close the gate. “Come on boys,” he said. “her horse never were any good.” And they rode off.

    Notes:

    Enlisted on 9 October 1861.
    Mustered in 31 December 1861, Lexington, Kentucky
    as Captain into what was first called Captain Hedges' company of the 24th Regiment.
    Later named Company G, 24th Regiment, Kentucky Infantry.
    Reassigned on 5 July 1864 because of wounds received in action.
    Discharged in 1864 of wounds received in the battle of Resaca, Georgia while serving under Sherman on the march to the sea.

    A brief history of the regiment states "The 24th Regiment of Kentucky Volunteer Infantry was organized in the fall and winter of 1861, under Colonel Lewis B. Grigsby, and was mustered into the United States service on the 11th of December 1861 at Lexington, Kentucky, by Captain Bankhead, United States Mustering officer. Soon after its organization it joined the main army, and was engaged in many of the most severe battles of the war, and did arduous duty in eastern Kentucky and Tennessee. It would fill pages of the Report to give in detail all the places trough which the regiment marched, and the various difficulties and hardships with which it had to contend. At the muster-out at Covington, Kentucky on the 31st January 1865, the recruits were transferred to Company K, 6th Kentucky Veteran Cavalry. It participated in the following battles, in which loss was sustained, viz; Shiloh, Tennessee; Siege of Corinth, Mississippi; Perryville, Kentucky; Knoxville, Tennessee; Resaca, Georgia; Lost Mountain, Atlanta, Georgia and Jonesboro".

    We can assume that Peter Thompson Hedges would have been in all of the above up to Resaca Georgia.

During the spring and summer of 1863 the regiment was employed, by battalion, in West Virginia and Northeastern Tennessee.

    Ida Cronkhite said that Melissa's sons (William, "Russell", and Luther) began life looking all right but had convulsions. After the other brothers and sisters were gone they moved in with their parents and Malissa and Joe Stienrod both died there. So did Albert, "Russell" and Hattie). Albert wasn't quite so helpless as the other two.

    Malissa, her second husband Joseph Stienrod, and her children died in the house in which Malissa was born. Ida Cronkhite thought that Malissa was probably buried in Three Lick Cemetery where her parents are buried. But she is, however, buried at Slaty Point Cemetery near Farmer, Kentucky and has a stone.

    Rank: private.
    Enrolled 27 August 1861.
    Mustered in 9 October 1861, Camp Dick Robinson, Kentucky. Enlisted for a period of 3 years.
    Discharged 8 March 1863, Gallatin, Tennessee.

    We have a copy of William R. Hedges Soldier's Certificate No.690641 file. In his general affidavit, he writes that in Dec 1861 I received an injury to my left side by being kicked by a mule, while helping to break mules at Crab Orchard Ky the mules back joint struck me three or four times on the lower ribs of the left side causing a rupture of the left kidney so that I urinated blood for six weeks and about the 10th of April 1862 while still suffering from the effects of said injury I was poisoned by eating cheese purchased from the suttler of the region and my whole left side seemed to be affected by said poison and my belief is that my left side being was when I was poisoned the effects of the poison naturally settled in that side and the poison aggravated the results from the injury. An any rate I have continued to suffer from that time to the present with pain in the left side of my head and face like neuralgia and with pain in my left side and hip and spine like rheumatism.

    The Union Army, v.IV. Published by the Federal Publishing Co, 1908, pp318-320.
    "This regiment was one of the three which President Lincoln authorized Lieut. William Nelson of the navy, a native of Mason county, Ky., to raise in Kentucky in the early summer of 1861. The day after the August election, Col. Fry with a detachment from Danville, the nucleus of what became Co. A, opened Camp Dick Robinson and three other regiments began to pour in and with a few weeks enough men to fill the four regiments had assembled. The first active service performed by any portion of the regiment was when a detachment of several companies, with a similar detachment from the 3d, was sent to Nicholasville to escort a wagon train loaded with muskets and ammunition from Nicholasville to the camp. In the latter part of October the regiment moved to Crab Orchard and became a part of the 2nd brigade, 1st division, Army of the Ohio. Its first participation in actual hostilities was at the battle of Mill Springs, Ky., in which action the regiment lost 1 officer (Lieut. J. M. Hall, Co.B) and 8 men killed and 52 wounded, which was a pretty heavy percentage in a regiment depleted by sickness and detachments to less than 400 for duty. From Mill Springs the regiment marched by Coffey's mill, Danville, Lebanon, and Bardstown to Louisville and there embarked on boats for Nashville, where it arrived March 4, 1862. It took part in the advance on Corinth, frequently skirmishing and sometimes sustaining loss. After the evacuation of Corinth it pursued the enemy as far as Booneville, Miss. and then returned to Corinth marched via Iuka to Tuscumbia. After a stay of some weeks at the latter place, it moved with the command on July 24, via Florence, Lawrenceburg, Pulaski, Fayetteville, Lynchburg and Winchester to Decherd. Leaving the latter place for Nashville, it marched from there with Buell's army to Louisville. After the battle of Perryville, where the regiment was present though not engaged, it moved with the command via Danville to Crab Orchard, whence via Greensburg and Glasgow to Gallatin, Tenn., Then to Casalian Springs, half way between Gallatin and Hartsville, and there to Elizabethtown. It was joined at Munfordville by the 12th Ky. Cavalry and 13th Ky. Infantry and had a fight with Morgan's rear at Rolling fork; moved thence to Lebanon Junction and thence to Nashville. The Regiment took part in the Tullahoma campaign and was in action at Hoover's gap, Concord church and near Tullahoma, but with slight loss. It went into action at the battle of Chichamauga with 19 officers and 360 men and lost 13 officers wounded, and 160 enlisted men killed and wounded."

    James Alvia Hedges
    Born Sept. 14, 1843-Died Nov.3, 1921
    oh, friend of mine, I grieve to lose
    The grip of they loving hands:
    How much we need each other here
    Each fully understand,
    But if our pathways meet no more
    In meadow-land or heather,
    Believe that when the night is come
    We’ll be at home together.
    Obituary
    James Alvia Hedges, the subject of this sketch, was born September 14, 1843, in Fleming county, Kentucky, and died at Lakeview hospital at Danville Nov. 3, 1921, age 78 years, one month and nineteen days. He was the son of William R. and Malinda Hedges.
    He spent his boyhood days in Kentucky. At the age of seventeen he enlisted in the 10th Indiana Cavalry, Co. A, serving one years, receiving an honorable discharge. Later he went to Kentucky and enlisted in the 10th Indiana cavalry, and served 2 years being discharge at the close of the war.
    Returning to his native state, he married Miss Philora Allen, Dec 26, 1865, who survives him. For fifty seven years they trod the pathway of life together.
    They came to Illinois in 1870, and lived two years, returning to Kentucky. In 1880 they came again to Illinois, settling on a farm near Homer. About twenty years ago they moved to their home in Allerton.
    To this union ten children were born, four preceding him in death. Those living are Mrs. Eva I. Clifton of Moneta, Ia.; Mrs. Serona D. Ellis of Mason, Ind; Mrs. Ada Smith of Ames neighborhood; Isaac Hedges of Spencer, Ia; Mrs. Lottie Clester of this place and George Hedges of Palmer, Ia. He leaves a large number of grand and great grandchildren.
    Peter Hedges of Canton, Mo; W.R. Hedges of Purdin Mo, and Mrs. R.S. Gilkison of Catlin are living brothers and sister.
    In early manhood he became a follower of Jesus Christ, and united with the Christian church. It may be truly said that he lived a consistent christian life. He was a faithful attendant of services at churches in Allerton when in health.
    Mr. Hedges had been failing in health for a number of years ad all that medical skill and loving tender care could do to alleviate his pain and prolong life was of no avail. Through all he was patient, always trusting Him who doeth the best, and he is at home in that land where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest.
    The funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church in this place Saturday afternoon at 1:30 o’clock, conducted by Rev. J.M. Beane of Danville, assisted by A.R. Wassell and Rev. Huff pastor of the Christian church, who resides at Jamaica. Interment at Fairfield cemetery southwest of Allerton.

    He married Philora Allen from Kentucky. In 1871 they moved to Illinois, later returning to Kentucky for a short time. They had seven children, Eva Clifton, Dee Ellis, Ada Smith, Lottie Clester, Ike, Russell and George.

    W.N. Cassity
    W.N. Cassity, one of the oldest settlers of this community, after a short illness, passed to his eternal rest at the home of his son in Topeka on May 31, 1919, at the age of 87 years, 11 months and 26 days.

    He was born in Rowan county, Kentucky, on June 5, 1831, and came to Kansas in 1858. He was married to Anna Elizabeth Shuemaker in 1861. To this union were born five children: Two daughters, Alma and Dora, deceased, and W.J. Cassity of San Francisco, Cali., F.N. Cassity of Topeka, Kas., and Peter A. Cassity of Wetmore, Kas. W.N. Cassity enjoyed the blessings of good health thru his long journey of life. He was a lover of music, especially the violin, which he played. He became a member of the M.E. church in Powhattan, Kas., in 1875. He was always willing to extend a helping hand when needed and never complained of his condition, but always said everything was for good for those that loved the right.

    The funeral services were conducted by Rev. M.M. McGuire at the M.E. church at 2 o’clock Tuesday afternoon, June 2, after which interment was made in the family lot in Wetmore Cemetery. The many beautiful floral tributes of relatives and friends were mute testimonials of the love and esteem in which this venerable citizen and friend was held.

    Letter From An Old Settler
    The following letter from M.P.M. Cassity, an old and well known settler of Wetmore, was published in the Wetmore Spectator last week. His numerous friends in this county will sympathize with him and his sore affliction.
    Plattesburg, Mo, May 13.
    As I promised to let you hear from me will say that I am about the same as when I left Wetmore. I came her to my sister’s April 26th, after consultation and examination by Drs. Murdock, Morton and McDonald, at Oneida and St. Joseph. They advise me not to have an operation. Said they could perform the operation but there would be great danger in so doing. I was advised by Dr. Murdock, if went to Kansas City to go and see Drs. Minor & Thornton. I have written them and expect reply soon, and if they give me encouragement will go there. If I had plenty of money think I would have an operation and take chances. I feel very thankful to the friends who have assisted me in my great affliction. If I find that my ailment is incurable (which I fear at times at least is true) and I could be cared for there, would rather die at home than elsewhere. I am not afraid to death but dread the pain and suffering prior thereto. Dr. Morton of St. Joe said I should not look at my ailment in that way, that I might outlive him and that I could with local treatment at home or elsewhere be made to feel comfortable. I have to write lying down and am getting weary. I will try and keep you and all who feel interested in my welfare informed. Tell friends to write me here.
    M.P.M. Cassity.

    Death of M.P.M. Cassity
    One of the first settles of Nemaha county passed away from this earth’s trials and tribulations in the death of M.P.M. Cassity who died at the home of his sister in Plattsburg, Missouri, last Tuesday November 12, after a long and distressing illness. The deceased came to Nemaha county in 1955 and was the first assessor in the county, at that time the assessors were appointed for the whole county, and perhaps no man was better know to old settlers than Mart Cassity. He was a lawyer by profession, and until about three years ago, when he took down with his last illness, he practiced law in the town of Wetmore. He leaves two sons, C.E. Cassity a student in the law department of the state university at Lawrence, and Geo. M. Cassity, who resides in Oklahoma. The remains were brought to Wetmore today, Thursday, and will be buried Friday.

    It Proves a Murder
    Fatal Results of a Fight on the Commons North of the City.
    Dan Gaddis Dies at Whitestown – Was Struck with a Neckyoke by Ambrose Hedges – No Arrest Made.
    Dan Gaddis, of Whitestown, Boone county, died yesterday morning from the effects of a blow administered by Ambrose Hedges, of this city. Gaddis has been suffering for two weeks from a bad wound in the head, which was inflicted by a heavy neckyoke. He received the blow in a quarrel and fight that ensured over an argument with hedges. Gaddis and his wife have been traveling about the State trading horses, and two weeks ago camped in the river bottoms, north of the city.
    One day, Ambrose Hedges, who lived in the commons east of the City Hospital, went over to the Gaddis camp, and became involved in a quarrel with the couple, which finally ended in the woman attacking him with a knife. Hedges was severely cut, but managed to get hold of a neckyoke, and dealt Dan Gaddis a blow with the implement that stopped hostilities on the part of the wife. Hedges was taken to the City Hospital, and Police Sergeant Kurtz went out to arrest the horse traders but learned that they had pushed on toward Whitestown. Hedges recovered from the knife wounds and arranged to swear out warrants for the arrest of the Gaddis woman, but learning that her husband was at the point of death from the injury received at his hands he decided to pursue the matter no further. Yesterday Coroner Beck received official notice of the death, but referred the Whitestown officers to the Boone cunty coroner. Hedges has not been arrested.

    Hedges Locked Up.
    He Is Charged with the Murder of Dan Gaddis, of Whitestown.
    On a warrant from the Boone county coroner, charging him with murder, Ambrose Hedges, living near the City Hospital, was arrested yesterday and locked up. Three weeks ago Hedges got into trouble with Dan and Mary Gaddis, of Whitestown, while the couple were with a band of horse traders in camp at the end of Indiana avenue.
    In the fight which ensued Dan Gaddis was struck in the head with a neck yoke wielded by Hedges, frm the effect of which Gaddis died last week. Mary Gaddis then attacked Hedges with a knife and cut him so severely that he was confined to the City Hospital for a week. He yet shows the marks of the infuriated woman’s knife. He states that he struck Gaddis purely in self-defense and to save his own life, as the latter came at him with murder in his eye. Hedges will be taken to Boone county for trial.

The couple were arrested on a grand jury warrant charged them with assault with attempt to kill Ambrose Hedges. The latter is at present in the Boone county jail awaiting trial for manslaughter, his victim having been Dan Gaddis, the husband of the woman arrested yesterday. The affray which resulted in the death of Gaddis and fearful knife wounds to the person of Hedges occurred on the evening of Sept. 7 on the bank of Fall creek at the end of Indiana avenue. Dan and Mary Gaddis and Cecil Bunnells, all of Whitestown, were strolling around the State engaged in trading horses. Here they met Hedges, who lived with his mother near the City Hospital, and quarreled with him over a trade. In the trouble Hedges secured a neckyoke and struck Gaddis a blow over the head form which he died within a week. His wife got hold of a knife and severely stabbed Hedges, while Bunnell fired a shot at him. Two weeks ago Hedges was arrested on the charge of murder, and was taken to Boone county, but before leaving filed information before the grand jury which resulted in the arrest of the wife of his victim.

    Ambrose D. Hedges Not Guilty of Murder
    (Special to the Indianapolis New)
    Lebanon, November 16 – The case of the State vs. Ambrose D. Hedges for the murder of Daniel Gaddis in September last, which was begun on Monday in the Circuit Court, terminated this morning by a verdict of not guilty. The evidence showed that Gaddis and his family and Cecil Burk approached Hedges, while the latter was encamped near Fall creek, close to Indianapolis, and proposed trading horses. A quarrel arose, but the Gaddis family left at the time, going to Indianapolis. While there they became intoxicated, and Burk purchased a pistol, with which they returned and renewed the quarrel with Hedges. A fight ensued in which Hedges struck Gaddis on the head with a neck yoke, from the effect of which the latter died two weeks later. Burk shot at Hedges, and Mrs. Gaddis inflicted eight ugly knife wounds upon Hedges’s body. The verdict could have been nothing else under the evidence. Burk has been sentenced to two years imprisonment from Marion county for attempting to murder Hedges, and Mrs. Gaddis is indicted under the same charge.

    Research by Polly Singerman, 2021: There is some minor controversy about the military career of William Albert Hedges (son of Jesse). After a long search of the National Archives, I think I have it: Searching military records of the National Archives and Records via fold3 yields this timeline for William Albert Hedges' Civil War Service.
