    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.
