    Notes:

    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.

    Notes:

    Death loves a shining mark, and has taken from the home, little Vernon Edward, son of William M. and Mary Hazel Hedges. He was born August 2, 1918 near Brookfield, Mo., and departed this life Nov. 17, 1921 at their home in Purdin, age 3 yrs 3 mo and 15 days. He leaves to mourn his departure his father, mother, grandparents and host of relatives and friends. For everyone loved little Vernon. Our hearts are made sad and our sympathy goes out to the bereaved ones; but dear ones remember though your steps are attended with anguish of spirit; it leads to the throne of God; the giver of life and all we have and are. He, alone, can heal the broken hearts. Time ‘its true, will heal the wound; but God gives us the consolation that if we love hem and keep his commandments, we can go to our loved ones when we are called away. A consolation that Christians have. As David said when his little son died, he cannot come to me but I can go to him. What a beautiful thought I can go to him. Some day, some time, we will if we have lived as God would have us live. Go to dwell with the loved ones in our fathers house where sickness, death and sorrow alike are not known. Thank God today for the hope which fills our souls in the darkest hours and that the cares of time are wreathed in the glory of fadeless flowers. Death who is the last enemy to be destroyed has claimed for its own this dear little one. To God who is the gracious giver, we yield the dear ones up; not dead; but to dwell with Him forever. Take thou our dear one to dwell with thee, through ceaseless ages to come.
    A precious one from us has gone. A voice we loved is stilled. A place is vacant in our home, which never can be filled.
    Funeral services were conducted by the writer after which the remains were consigned to mother earth in the Purdin cemetery to await the coming of our Lord.

Gary and Linda had four amazing children, Ryan, Brandy, Logan and Jessica. Gary was an avid outdoorsman and rancher. He worked at the National Elk Refuge in Jackson Hole feeding the elk by horse drawn sleigh. Gary considered himself lucky by being able to work numerous guiding and outfitting jobs, which was his passion. He was awarded guide of the year in 1971. He worked for several ranches over the years and was most at home on the back of a good horse. He loved what he did and was a hard working man who never left a job undone. All who knew him could easily say he was a quiet spoken man, therefore when he did speak, everyone listened to what he had to say. More often than not it was a sarcastic remark that resulted in laughs, but he could also be very insightful and give great advice. He spent his later years being an extraordinary grandpa passing on his wisdom of fishing, hunting and work ethic to his grandkids. Gary was preceded in death by his parents, his older sister Kathleen Daniels, and sister-in-law Sandra Hedges. He is survived by his wife Linda, his brother James Hedges, son Ryan (Dawn) Hedges, daughter Brandy (Aaron) Taylor, son Logan (Kresta) Hedges, daughter Jessica Hedges, and 11 grandchildren.
