    Notes:

    Maddox – At her home in this city, on February 16, 1898, of pneumonia. Mrs. R.E. Maddox, aged 32 years and 9 days.
    Nannie Virginia Hitchcock was born in Guinup County, Ky., where she resided until 1884, when she went to Fairmount, Ill, where she was joined in the hold bonds of matrimony to Robert E. Maddox, on march 12, of same years. In 1885 they moved to this county, and have resided here continuously ever since. The deceased joined the Christian church at the age of fourteen years, and after removing to this county, there being no organization of the faith of her choice here, she joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, and has lived a devoted Christian life for the past eight years in that faith. A few days before she took sick she told her husband that she was ready and willing to go at any time, and requested f him that if she was called away, he should keep the children together and take good care of them. She leaves a husband and six children to mourn their loss, all of whom have the sympathy of the entire community in this their sad hour of affliction. In her death the husband loses a devoted and loving companion; the children lose a kind and affectionate mother, and the community loses one who was ever ready to minister to the sick, and her untiring efforts to be a help in time of need. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. W.E. Scott, and the remains were interred in the Gove city cemetery.

    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.

    Fern Hedges
    The death of Fern Hedges occurred Saturday afternoon after a short illness, pneumonia developing very suddenly from a cold that was not thought serious, though all that science, careful nursing and loving attention could do was done, naught availed.
    The funeral took place from the Methodist Church Sunday afternoon, a very touching feature of the services being the singing of the little girl’s favorite song by fifteen members of her Sunday School class. Interment was in the new cemetery, the large funeral cortege and beautiful flowers showing the respect in which the parents are held.
    The little girl, who was twelve years old, was the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P.T. Hedges and besides her parents leaves one brother, to whom The Enterprise extends sympathy.

    Notes:

    Hit by a thrown baseball at Brookfield Ball Park, Linn County, Missouri.


    Killed In A Baseball Game
    Sphere Struck Purdin, Mo., Player Near the Heart.
    Brookfield, Mo., July 28. – Rollie Bagley of Purdin was killed yesterday in a ball game between Purdin and New Garden when a baseball struck him near the heart.
    The Kansas City Star, Kansas City, Missouri. Monday, 28 July 1919, page 1.


    Death Was Almost Instant
    The Brookfield Budget give the following account of the accident at Brookfield Sunday which caused the death of Rollie Bagley, a brief mention of which was made in the Constitution Monday.
    A very regrettable death was that of Rollie Bagley Sunday afternoon while playing ball at Powell Park.
    Young Bagley was a member of a ball team from Purdin’s rural districts that was matched up against a baseball nine of young farmers from Yellow Creek township.
    The fatal accident occurred during the first half of the eighth inning. Bagley was at bat and James Ridgeway of the rival team was pitching when a ball served by the latter hit the unfortunate batter over the heart knocking him to his knees. When he regained his feet he remarked that he was all right, but when he attempted to take a few steps, his companions say, he fell heavily to the ground, death, to all appearances, resulting instantly.
    His getting hit with the ball is conceded to be largely due to the fact that Bagley was a left-handed striker, and no one more keenly regrets the sad affair than Pitcher Ridgeway.
    The body was taken to Ruck’s undertaking rooms and prepared for burial and later removed to the home in Purdin.
    This was the third game for these two rural teams; one game was played at Purdin two weeks ago and a second game at Kersley grove east of New Garden a week ago Sunday. Each team had scored a victory and Sunday’s game stood 9 to 8 in favor of Yello Creek when so unfortunately ended.
    Rollie Bagley was 22 years old, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles S. Bagley of Purdin. He was an industrious young farmer, and was united in marriage August 1916, with Miss Lillie Ponder of Jamaica, Ill, who with a fifteen-months-old child survive. Other near relatives are: his parents, four brothers and one sister.
    The wife and two brothers of the deceased attended the game Sunday.
    The funeral was held at two o’clock Tuesday at the Christian church at Purdin.
