    Notes:

    MHR note:
    Russell disappeared. text from letter August 1900. He never was heard of again by his family. In Danville, Illinois, once a man asked Clarence Clester who he was, and on learning his mother was a Hedges, he asked about the family. This conversation took place at a garage. They never learned who the man was. He [Russell] had gone to Gifford, Illinois to visit a cousin. While there in September 1900 he became despondent, sold his horse and buggy to Joe Lowder, getting part cash and a note which he sent to his mother. The note never was paid. He wrote saying he was going west and would write as soon as he got settled. His family advertised for him and broadcast appeals after radio came into use.


    LKH note:
    No records for Russell found after the 1900 census when he is in his parents' household in Illinois.

    However, it is possible that there might be a record of him in 1904 in Nebraska.

    There is a Russell Hedges listed on the US Army Register of Enlistments whose age and place of birth matches. It also appears that he had two prior enlistment periods and the remarks seem to indicate that he was discharged two years later in 1906.
