- Rev. Hedges, 51, Dies Of Injuries In Accident
The Rev. Forrest Lee Hedges, of Route 3, Flemingsburg, died at 11:30 a.m. yesterday morning at St. Joseph hospital, Lexington, from injuries sustained in an accident approximately six weeks ago. He was 51 years old.
The Rev. Mr. Hedges and his wife, the former Edith Carol Wagner, were injured in an accident with a truck near Orangeburg. Both were admitted to the hospital, but Mrs. Hedges returned home after a three week's stay.
Rev. Hedges took a turn for the worse Thursday and fell into a comatose condition. He was born February 20, 1914, a son of the late Lloyd Hedges and Sophia Jones Hedges.
A minister of the Christian Holiness church, Rev. Hedges was kind hearted and generous and his counsel was sought by many residents in this area. He was devoted to his work and his death will be a great shock to all who knew him.
