Charles Henry Hedges, who devotes his energies and time to rural occupations, was born on the old Hedges homestead farm in Frederick District, on the Emmitsburg pike, Frederick County, January 23, 1858. He is a son of Daniel and Catharine (Devilbiss) Hedges.
The Hedges family is of German origin and has been located in the United States for a long period. The family is well known in Frederick County and its members have generally been farmers.
Enos Hedges, the grandfather of Charles H. Hedges, located in Frederick District, Frederick County, where he owned 350 acres of fine agricultural land. His wife was Catharine Kemp. They both died on his property in Frederick District.
Daniel Hedges, son of Enos and Catharine (Kemp) Hedges, was born on his father’s farm in Frederick District. He was identified with rural life all his days. He died at the age of forty years, and his children inherited his share of his father’s estate. He used his right of franchise to further the interests of the Republican party. Mr. Hedges was married to Catharine Devilbiss, daughter of Daivd and Lucretia Devilbiss. She died at Walkersville in 1896. Mr. and Mrs. Hedges are buried at Glade Cemetery, and they are affiliated with the Reformed Church. They were the parents of four children: Alice, the wife of Andrew Cramer; David, a resident of Walkersville District, married a Miss Zimmerman; Charles Henry, whose name heads this review; and Minnie, married David Cramer.
Charles Henry Hedges, son of Daniel and Catharine (Devilbiss) Hedges, acquired his education in the public schools at Dublin, Frederick County. He gave ups school at the age of nineteen, and worked for his mother on the place farmed by his brother David, until he attained his majority. After his marriage, which took place in 1888, he began farming on his own account in Walkersville District, remaining there for one year. Mr. Hedges then removed to his present farm, owned by Clay Fulton, of Walkersville, and here he has since lived. This is a period of twenty years, and speaks well of Mr. Hedges. He is thoroughly acquainted with all phases of an agricultural life, and is one of the progressive and up-to-date farmers of his community. He is a man of moral worth and highly regarded by all who know him. He cultivates 240 acres of land and secures large crops.
In his political opinions, Mr. hedges loyally adheres to the Republican party. Religiously, he is a communicant of the Reformed church.
Mr. Hedges was married in 1888 to Alice Erb, of Woodsboro. She is a daughter of David Erb. To them were born seven children, namely: Charles Wade, Daniel Ford, Eva Catharine, Mary Alice, Ralph David, Margaret Erb and Glenn Harold.
