| 105 | 1883 news article LKH note: Article names son of Monroe Hedges as Jonas Hedges, leading one to assume this is our Monroe Hedges. A Disgraceful Row. A row occurred yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock at a picnic of thirty or forty drunken men and women in the woods north of the Insane Asylum, which came near resulting in another Sunday murder. The crowd was composed of a very disreputable class, which had gone to the woods with two kegs of beer for the deliberate purpose of getting drunk. About 3 o'clock Monroe Hedges, an old man, who had taken a part of the crowd out in this wagon, began hitching up the team, and announced his intention of coming to town. George Barnaby declared that he should not leave until the rest were ready to go, and a fight followed, in which Barnaby knocked the old man down with a club. A general fight ensued, in which nearly the whole crowd took a hand. It was at first supposed that Hedges had been killed, and a telephonic message to that effect was sent to town. The superintendent of police and several officers went out to the place, but found that Hedges had recovered consciousness, and no one was dangerously injured. George Barnaby had an ugly gash cut in his forehead, where he had been struck with a whip-stock by Jonas Hedges, a son of the old man, with whom the fight begun. One shot was fired, but no one was wounded. The police returned to the city without making any arrests, but all who participated in the row will probably be prosecuted before the justices this morning.

| 109 | 1899 news article LKH note: news article gives some details about how the family was living. Centenarian Dying. Monroe Hedges is Said to be 105 Years Old. In a ramshackle hut in the rear of 1012 Rhode Island street, lies an old man, who says he is 105 years old, at the point of death. The old man is Monroe Hedges, known in the part of the city in which he lives as “Granddad Hedge.” The house in which he lives, with several sons, was, at one time, a stable. It has since been turned into a house of two small rooms. Until Tuesday of last week the old man retained all his faculties, and pulled himself about the small, dirty yard in a chair. In someway (the sons could not explain) blood poisoning affected his right arm and leg and gangrene developed. Hedges has five sons and one daughter living, the oldest son, Hiram Hedges, being seventy-one years’ old. The youngest member of the family is James Hedges. Another member of the family says James is about forty years old. The names of the other children are Jonas, Roe, Dudley and Louanna. The old man is said to have been born in Flemingsburg, Ky., on the site of the court-house, 105 years ago the 11th day of last February. He has often spoken of fighting in a war, but the members of the family cannot tell in what war he served. They think, however, that it was the Mexican war. Hedges moved with his family to this city twenty-two years ago. His wife died about three months ago, eighty-seven years old. The family lives on a pension paid to Monroe Hedges for the death of a son in the civil war. The Indianapolis News, Indianapolis, Indiana. Wednesday, 18 October 1899. | Hedges, Monroe (I449)

Some Centenarians Anderson special: Action has been brought by one of Alexander Ferguson’s daughters to have a guardian appointed for him. Ferguson lives in Gilman. He has just passed his one hundred and seventh birthday. The action for the guardian has brought to light the fact that there are five people in this (Madison) county who have passed the hundred-year mark. Ferguson is the dean of the men, and his sister, Mrs. Bettie Carrolton, who lives near Franklin, heads the women with 111 years to her credit.

| 146 | 24 Sept. It Proves a Murder Fatal Results of a Fight on the Commons North of the City. Dan Gaddis Dies at Whitestown – Was Struck with a Neckyoke by Ambrose Hedges – No Arrest Made. Dan Gaddis, of Whitestown, Boone county, died yesterday morning from the effects of a blow administered by Ambrose Hedges, of this city. Gaddis has been suffering for two weeks from a bad wound in the head, which was inflicted by a heavy neckyoke. He received the blow in a quarrel and fight that ensured over an argument with hedges. Gaddis and his wife have been traveling about the State trading horses, and two weeks ago camped in the river bottoms, north of the city. One day, Ambrose Hedges, who lived in the commons east of the City Hospital, went over to the Gaddis camp, and became involved in a quarrel with the couple, which finally ended in the woman attacking him with a knife. Hedges was severely cut, but managed to get hold of a neckyoke, and dealt Dan Gaddis a blow with the implement that stopped hostilities on the part of the wife. Hedges was taken to the City Hospital, and Police Sergeant Kurtz went out to arrest the horse traders but learned that they had pushed on toward Whitestown. Hedges recovered from the knife wounds and arranged to swear out warrants for the arrest of the Gaddis woman, but learning that her husband was at the point of death from the injury received at his hands he decided to pursue the matter no further. Yesterday Coroner Beck received official notice of the death, but referred the Whitestown officers to the Boone cunty coroner. Hedges has not been arrested.

| 148 | 26 December 1898 Hedges Is Still Missing His Wife Has Given Up All Hope of His Ever Returning to Kansas City. It has now been a month since Charles M. Hedges, manager of the American Law Association, mysteriously disappeared. His young wife and 9-month-old baby boy, having waited in vain for him to return, will leave Kansas City today for Lancaster, Mo., where Rev. Mr. T.A. Hedges, a brother of the missing man, resides. Mrs. Hedges sate with the baby in her lap feeding it bread and milk when a report for The Journal called at 2201 McGee last night. She said she had not expect particularly that Mr. Hedges would come home at this time and make a Christmas present of himself to his wife and baby. She had got ready to leave Kansas City, she said, and was going. “I have not found the slightest trace of my husband,” she said quite calmly. “He has never written me a line since he left, and I do not know whether he is alive to write. “When he left Kansas City n the morning of November 27, the last day that I saw him, he kissed me and the baby good-by just as usual, and started for a visit to his uncle at Liberty, MO. Arriving there, he found that his uncle was out of town, and he waited about the Leland hotel all day for the train back to Kansas City. At 7:35 p.m. he left the hotel to take the 7:45 train for home. That is the last ever seen of him. I went to Liberty and made inquiries and a thorough search, but could trace him no farther.” Mrs. Hedges denies that her husband was short in his accounts or that his business affairs were tangled. She says she cannot imagine any motive he could have had in going away. She became acquainted with Mr. Hedges at Horton, Kas. Kansas City Journal, Kansas City, Missouri.

The two women got into a quarrel over the respective merits of their husbands’ horses. Gaddis and his wife returned to town. Here they met Bunnell. They told him of the quarrel. Bunnell got a revolver and the Gaddis woman armed herself with a knife. They went back to the Hedges camp and at once assaulted Hedges. Hedges defended himself stoutly. During the struggle he inflicted wounds upon Gaddis, from which he has since died. The fight ended by the stabbing of Hedges by Mrs. Gaddis. The Indianapolis Journal, Indianapolis, Indiana.
