    Notes:

    MHR note: Ida Cronkhite said (in pink letter of 28 December 1949) she thought that “Aunt Betty” Hopper (Eliz. B.1820) who was found with the William Ribelin Hedges family in the 1870 census, was a distant cousin through the Armstrongs. She cared for her mother who died when Betty was about 25 years old. Malinda Hedges needed help, so Betty made her home with them. She got board and room and one third of the wool. Betty was so shy she put on her sunbonnet before coming downstairs and few ever saw her face. Lonely widowers found her not only unresponsive, but unwilling to talk to them. When 81 and nearly blind, she fell downstairs and died shortly thereafter. She helped rear the second generation and “Uncle Will” said she'd been a second mother.


    MHR Note: Letter from Melissa Lucinda Hedges, to her brothers, William R. Hedges, James A. Hedges and Levi M. Hedges and sister Philora (Allen) Hedges telling of their father's death. This letter was in the possession of Anna (Hedges) Bagley, Purdin, Missouri when Mary (Hedges) Reiner visited her in 1940. The heading “at home” refers to the home of William R. and Malinda R. Hedges on the bank of the Licking River at the mouth of the Bluebank, Fleming County, Kentucky, in the part of Fleming County.

    At home, December 1, 1885.
    Dear Brothers and Sisters:

    It is with a sad heart I take up my pen to write the sad news of our dear father’s death. He departed this life Saturday, Nov. 28, at 25 minutes after six o’clock in the morning. After a serious illness of 12 day. He suffered more than tongue can tell. He lay in an unconscious state for several hours. He suffered greatly from the time he was taken. The doctor had to draw his water from him. Oh it was so hard to see him suffer so, but it had to be. Rose came to see him; staid several days then went home; came back after he was down. Ike got here after he was dead. Uncle Jesse staid with him all the time. We laid him in the old graveyard where sister Mary was laid, there to slumber till Gabriel’s trump and the voice of the Lord shall awaken the dead from the old churchyard.

    I sent postals to you all when I found he was so bad, but I suppose it was not so any of you could come. He never talked about any of his children, but thought he could not live from the start. We done all we could for him but nothing done any good. He has done paid the debt we all have to pay and we can go to him; he cannot come to us; Oh how we miss him. Mother sits around and looks so sad. I can hardly bear it. She is not well. She send her love to you all.

    My love to you all. Write soon as you all are very close together. I want this letter to be read by all. I would love to see you and talk to you face to face but we are far apart. Yes we are scattered – we are scattered, though a joyous band were we. Now this letter is for one and all of you. Write as often as you can.
    You sister, M. L. Stenrod

    Notes:

    MRH note: David R. Hedges wrote from Mason County, Kentucky , 24 October 1859, that Addison W. Hedges Jr. had married a wealthy widow.

    MHR note: in letter from Ida Cronkhite dated 13 February 1951. Addison W. Hedges died while the Civil War was on. He was living in Texas, and was drafted into the Confederate Army, and died in hospital. After the war, the widow and her two small sons and the 2 older by a former marriage, visited Kentucky. Early in 1880 Father got a postal card saying what had become of the boy. We learned later that Robert, age 18, rode away telling some of his mates that he was going to Illinois. He never arrived, but met with a band of bandits and was murdered in Colorado. Will's wife wrote to my father, 1923, of her husband's death. No children. She was Susie Terrell, and I think they cared for some of her nieces. A.W.'s widow was twice more married, and twice widowed but she died before Will did.

    Notes:

    Story about Vianna in her grandson Lucian White's notes from newspaper article about Lucian's skills making dulcimer.
    * * * * *
    The Kentucky hills and its people, especially his grandmother Vianna Hamm, are what White likes to talk about most. “Oh,” he exclaimed, “every boy should have a grandmother like that to tell him stories.”
    It was right after the Civil War when the southern general John Hunt Morgan paid his last visit to White’s grandmother’s hunting lodge, White said. Morgan used to come there before the war for recreation and hunting and White’s grandparent’s hospitality.
    Grandfather Hamm had gotten a land grant to run the lodge and the area was excellent for hunting fox, white-tailed deer and the like. Also had good fishing, White said.
    Well Morgan was one of those generals who never did surrender. He became leader of an outlaw band and would ride in, steal horses and loot a place at the drop of a hat. If there wasn’t any loot worth having or he met resistance in taking it, he’d have his men set all the buildings on fire.
    When they came riding into his grandmother’s after her husband had died, she was down in a cellar along, White said. The outlaws were bent on stealing the horses from the corral but were unable to get them out. “For some reason the horses just ran around in the corral making a commotion.”
    His grandmother ran up from the cellar and accosted the outlaws by herself. White said “John Hunt Morgan!” she shouted at the former general. “Is this the tanks you give me for slaving over a hot cookstove while you were out hunting?
    Morgan just looked down from his big horse and motioned for his men to close the gate. “Come on boys,” he said. “her horse never were any good.” And they rode off.

    Notes:

    Enlisted on 9 October 1861.
    Mustered in 31 December 1861, Lexington, Kentucky
    as Captain into what was first called Captain Hedges' company of the 24th Regiment.
    Later named Company G, 24th Regiment, Kentucky Infantry.
    Reassigned on 5 July 1864 because of wounds received in action.
    Discharged in 1864 of wounds received in the battle of Resaca, Georgia while serving under Sherman on the march to the sea.

    A brief history of the regiment states "The 24th Regiment of Kentucky Volunteer Infantry was organized in the fall and winter of 1861, under Colonel Lewis B. Grigsby, and was mustered into the United States service on the 11th of December 1861 at Lexington, Kentucky, by Captain Bankhead, United States Mustering officer. Soon after its organization it joined the main army, and was engaged in many of the most severe battles of the war, and did arduous duty in eastern Kentucky and Tennessee. It would fill pages of the Report to give in detail all the places trough which the regiment marched, and the various difficulties and hardships with which it had to contend. At the muster-out at Covington, Kentucky on the 31st January 1865, the recruits were transferred to Company K, 6th Kentucky Veteran Cavalry. It participated in the following battles, in which loss was sustained, viz; Shiloh, Tennessee; Siege of Corinth, Mississippi; Perryville, Kentucky; Knoxville, Tennessee; Resaca, Georgia; Lost Mountain, Atlanta, Georgia and Jonesboro".

    We can assume that Peter Thompson Hedges would have been in all of the above up to Resaca Georgia.

In November and December, 1862, having been assigned to Brig. Gen. Bilmore's division, it was employed on the line towards Knoxville, Tenn. passing the entire winter in continuous marching. During the spring and summer of 1863 the regiment was employed, by battalion, in West Virginia and Northeastern Tennessee. In Southwest Virginia one of its battalions captured the breech-loading artillery so well know in connection with the history of Marshall's invasion. The services of this regiment were of the most active and efficient character. Its skirmishes and small fights were numerous and its marches continuous and severe. Among other, this regiment participated in the engagements of Elk Fork, Tenn; Gladesville, VA; Triplett's Bridge, Ky; Lancaster, Ky; Richard, Ky (1863); and in the pursuit and rout of the rebel cavalry of Pegran and Scott, beside the numerous affairs attending the advance of Maj. Gen. Granger upon central Kentucky. The regiment was mustered out at Maysville, Ky. 17 September 1863 by Capt. R. B. Hull, United States Army."

    Notes:

    MHR note: Malissa and her sister Rosann were the same size and looked alike and used to confuse their beaus.

    Malissa made only two moves in her life - from the old house to the new one on the same farm.

    Ida Cronkhite said that Melissa's sons (William, "Russell", and Luther) began life looking all right but had convulsions. After the other brothers and sisters were gone they moved in with their parents and Malissa and Joe Stienrod both died there. So did Albert, "Russell" and Hattie). Albert wasn't quite so helpless as the other two.

    Malissa, her second husband Joseph Stienrod, and her children died in the house in which Malissa was born. Ida Cronkhite thought that Malissa was probably buried in Three Lick Cemetery where her parents are buried. But she is, however, buried at Slaty Point Cemetery near Farmer, Kentucky and has a stone.

    Fourth Kentucky Volunteer Infantry, Company C.
    Rank: private.
    Enrolled 27 August 1861.
    Mustered in 9 October 1861, Camp Dick Robinson, Kentucky. Enlisted for a period of 3 years.
    Discharged 8 March 1863, Gallatin, Tennessee.

    We have a copy of William R. Hedges Soldier's Certificate No.690641 file. In his general affidavit, he writes that in Dec 1861 I received an injury to my left side by being kicked by a mule, while helping to break mules at Crab Orchard Ky the mules back joint struck me three or four times on the lower ribs of the left side causing a rupture of the left kidney so that I urinated blood for six weeks and about the 10th of April 1862 while still suffering from the effects of said injury I was poisoned by eating cheese purchased from the suttler of the region and my whole left side seemed to be affected by said poison and my belief is that my left side being was when I was poisoned the effects of the poison naturally settled in that side and the poison aggravated the results from the injury. An any rate I have continued to suffer from that time to the present with pain in the left side of my head and face like neuralgia and with pain in my left side and hip and spine like rheumatism.

    The Union Army, v.IV. Published by the Federal Publishing Co, 1908, pp318-320.
    "This regiment was one of the three which President Lincoln authorized Lieut. William Nelson of the navy, a native of Mason county, Ky., to raise in Kentucky in the early summer of 1861. The day after the August election, Col. Fry with a detachment from Danville, the nucleus of what became Co. A, opened Camp Dick Robinson and three other regiments began to pour in and with a few weeks enough men to fill the four regiments had assembled. The first active service performed by any portion of the regiment was when a detachment of several companies, with a similar detachment from the 3d, was sent to Nicholasville to escort a wagon train loaded with muskets and ammunition from Nicholasville to the camp. In the latter part of October the regiment moved to Crab Orchard and became a part of the 2nd brigade, 1st division, Army of the Ohio. Its first participation in actual hostilities was at the battle of Mill Springs, Ky., in which action the regiment lost 1 officer (Lieut. J. M. Hall, Co.B) and 8 men killed and 52 wounded, which was a pretty heavy percentage in a regiment depleted by sickness and detachments to less than 400 for duty. From Mill Springs the regiment marched by Coffey's mill, Danville, Lebanon, and Bardstown to Louisville and there embarked on boats for Nashville, where it arrived March 4, 1862. It took part in the advance on Corinth, frequently skirmishing and sometimes sustaining loss. After the evacuation of Corinth it pursued the enemy as far as Booneville, Miss. and then returned to Corinth marched via Iuka to Tuscumbia. After a stay of some weeks at the latter place, it moved with the command on July 24, via Florence, Lawrenceburg, Pulaski, Fayetteville, Lynchburg and Winchester to Decherd. Leaving the latter place for Nashville, it marched from there with Buell's army to Louisville. After the battle of Perryville, where the regiment was present though not engaged, it moved with the command via Danville to Crab Orchard, whence via Greensburg and Glasgow to Gallatin, Tenn., Then to Casalian Springs, half way between Gallatin and Hartsville, and there to Elizabethtown. It was joined at Munfordville by the 12th Ky. Cavalry and 13th Ky. Infantry and had a fight with Morgan's rear at Rolling fork; moved thence to Lebanon Junction and thence to Nashville. The Regiment took part in the Tullahoma campaign and was in action at Hoover's gap, Concord church and near Tullahoma, but with slight loss. It went into action at the battle of Chichamauga with 19 officers and 360 men and lost 13 officers wounded, and 160 enlisted men killed and wounded."

    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.

V., said it had broken through a bridge and broken its leg and he'd had to kill it. Uncle Cappy [Peter Thompson Hedges] had to pay the money. He had to give the girl money and took her to an aunt in Florida. After they arrived, her father had her swear that she and Cappy had been registered as man and wife at a hotel on the way and extorted more money from him. He sold his farm and moved.

    Charles is buried in Forest Grove Cemetery next to his parents.

    1 December 1898
    No Trace Found of Charles M. Hedges
    Whereabouts of the Missing Attorney Still Shrouded in Mystery – Police Are Puzzled.
    “Where is Charles M. Hedges? Has he met with foul play?
    These are the questions which the police and the fiends of the missing man are asking themselves. His whereabouts is as deep a mystery as when he first dropped out of sight last Sunday. The police are puzzled over th case.
    As told exclusively in yesterday’s Times, Charles M. Hedges was a manager of the American Law association in the Nelson building and disappeared last Sunday afternoon. He was last seen at the Leland hotel in Liberty as he was starting to the depot to catch the 7:45 train over the Hannibal and St. Joseph road to this city. He lived with his wife and 7-months-old child at 1622 Broadway and went to Liberty last Sunday morning to visit his uncle, the Rev. Mr. Vawter, pastor of the Christian church of that town. His uncle was in Platte City and was not to return until the next day so Hedges went to the Leland hotel to stay until train time.
    He left the hotel about ten minutes before the time for his train to start, saying that he “must go home and see his wife and baby.” That was the last anyone remembers seeing of him.
    Hedges rented desk room in the law office of Charles H. Winston in the Nelson building and was well known to the business men of the city as a collector. Mr. Winston can find no trace of Hedges, and he believes that the missing man has been foully dealt with. Last night he said: “I am doing everything in my power to find Hedges. I knew him well and can not account for his continued absence.”
    Hedges brother, the Rev. T.A. Hedges, a Christian minister at Lancaster, Mo., was in the city all day yesterday trying to find the missing man. The conductor and brakeman of the Hannibal and St. Joseph train on which Hedges is supposed to have come from Liberty last Sunday were seen and questioned, but neither remembered anything of a man who answered the description of Hedges. The Rev. Mr. Hedges left for Lancaster last night and will wait until something turns up.
    Hedges is 25 years old, of medium height and weight and was well dressed when he disappeared. His friends say that he left money on deposit here in the National Bank of Commerce, and that his business was prosperous. None of his friends can account for his absence.

    18 December 1898
    Hedges Case Baffles Them
    Police Can Not Penetrate The Mystery Surrounding It.
    For More Than a Month Charles M. Hedges Has Been Missing, and Not the Slightest Trace of His Whereabouts Has Been Found – His Wife Still Has Hopes of His Return, and Continues His Business.
    In an office on the sixth floor of the Nelson building a woman with traces of suffering in her finely-chiseled face, sits all day at a desk and carries on the business which her husband built up during five years of constant toil in the face of many difficulties. She is the wife of Charles M. Hedges, the manager, of the American Law association, who disappeared as mysteriously on November 27 last as if the earth had opened and swallowed him from sight.
    This woman is carrying on the business of the association as if nothing the world had happened and as if she had been doing it for years. The desk where her husband sat is loaded down with just as many papers as when he was there. Business men of the city who have had occasion to place any of their affairs in the hands of this woman say that she is as much a manager of affairs as was ever her husband.
    Before her husband disappeared he was a collector of other men’s bills. As manager of the American Law association he solicited unpaid bills from business men and by letters to the delinquent ones tried to get them to settle the bills. Those who knew him best say that he kept a record of every man who paid a bill which had been entrusted to him for collection and that this list was sent monthly to the business firms of the city so that these firms might know who the men were who could pay the bills they had contracted. In writing these letters to the men who owed money to business firms, Hedges would state that if the bills were paid the man’s name would be place on this list and the firms of the city would thereby know whom to trust in selling goods on time. Friends of the missing man say that Hedges never had the bills in his possession, but would simply write the letters to the debtors and collect his commission from the creditors in the event of the bill being paid as a result of his efforts.
    Mrs. Hedges Still Has Hope.
    Writing letters is the task which Mrs. Hedges has during all of each day. Every morning when the mail is delivered to the office she tears open each letter with a look of hope in her face. “There may be a letter from Charlie, and he may be sick some out-of-the-way place and can’t come home,” she says. Although disappointed at every mail, she has not give up all hope. “He will come back sometime.” That is what she lives for.
    While this woman thumps diligently away at a typewriter, a little baby boy plays around on the floor of the office. This child was the delight of Hedges, and when he left his home for a day’s visit at Liberty, he kissed the child good-by. All remembrance of its father leaves the child for days at a time. Sometimes this little boy asks for him, but these requests are becoming fewer and farther apart as the days go by.
    “The boy has almost forgotten that he ever had a father,” the mother says. “I suppose the child would recognize him if he would come back, but I am not so sure of it.
    The search for Hedges is still on, but not even the shadow of a suspicion of his whereabouts has been learned of by the police or the missing man’s friends since he dropped out of sight. Hedges’ disappearance is the strangest case the local police have ever been called upon to unravel. To drop out of sight as completely as if a fire had consumed every atom of one’s body is a thing seldom heard of hearabouts. Although nearly a month has passed since Hedges disappeared, not one man has been found who remembers seeing him or anyone who looked like him since he left the Leland hotel at Liberty to catch the 7:45 o’clock train to this city on the night of November 27.
    The police, the missing man’s lodge of the Odd Fellows and a dozen close friends have done everything possible in the search for him, and none has found the slightest trace. Hedges’ accounts were as straight as a string, and he owed no man, as far as his friends here know. He left a wife and a child, both of whom he is said to have loved dearly. His wife says that there was never anything but the happiest of relations in the family home, and that her husband was a sober, studious man.

    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.

    They Are Still Missing
    Many Sudden Disappearances Are Yet Unexplained
    [long article about several area disappearances, including Charles]
    One of the mysterious disappearances the police of Kansas city have been called upon to unravel is that of Charles M. Hedges, manager of the American Law association. Hedges dropped out of sight on November 27, at Liberty, Mo., while there on a day’s visit to his uncle, an elder of the Christian church. Not even a suspicion of a trace of him has ever been found, although the police, the missing man’s lodge of the Odd Fellows and numerous friends have all joined in the search for him. Hedges is said to have loved dearly his young wife and infant child, who were left alone in the world. He kissed them goodby on the morning of Sunday, November 27, and said he would be back again at night. That was the last either of them ever has seen of him.

    Notes:

    MHR note: Indiana Louisa went to North Madison, Indiana to visit her relatives, who sent her to school there two years. While there she heard the song "Lourena" and thereafter called herself Lourena and her family called her "Lou". According to Ida Cronkhite, she was a pretty, lively girl and became engaged to William Vawter, a relative (called "Wid"). When she returned to Kentucky, "Wid" wrote her at intervals, saying he was coming to see her, but each time failed to appear. She taught a mountain school in Kentucky and in the spring of 1879 brough home her husband, Joe Enix (who after his second marriage began spelling his name as "Enochs").

    Lou and her husband went to Illinois with her parents in October 1879 and remained there until after the first child was born. But Joe became homesick and they returned to Carter County, Kentucky and their second child was born there.

    According to Ida Cronkhite, Lou contracted malaria and died. But Helen Gearhart Greers said her mother thought it had been TB that had caused Lou's death..

    Lou's mother, Samanatha sent a postcard about her daughter's death to relatives in Missouri.

He left Denison over a year ago and made his home for some months in Topeka from whence he went to Denver, Colo., and later to Las Animas, Colo., where he was working at plastering when he was shot and instantly killed Tuesday March 26th. The body was brought here for burial arriving Saturday evening, the funeral being held next day at the Christian church here at 2 p.m., services being conducted by Rev. Davis of St. Joseph, Mo.

    Shot and Killed
    John M. Hedges, a brother of Walter Hedges, was shot and killed in Denver a week ago Monday, by Frank Butts. Butts, who shot Hedges was drunk. The Denver News says of Hedges: “John M. Hedges, a carpenter, who was shot and killed by Frank Butts, came to Denver from Denison, Kansas, last Aug. The delight of the wife and four children as she read the many quaint sentences of a special delivery letter received yesterday morning from the father were soon to turn to sorrowing tears as only a little later that same mother read a telegram stating the father was shot and killed.
    “I cannot account for the strange tragedy,” said Mrs. Hedges. “The only thing that might cause it was the fact that Butts owned my husband money, and my husband was going to leave him.
    “My husband came to this state for his health, his brother and four sisters having died of consumption. He feared the same fate.”
    J.M. Hedges was 37 years of age. He leaves a wife and four young children. He also leaves one sister, Mrs. J.S. Gill, of Topeka and four brothers, Marlon, Walter, Edgar and A.V. Hedges of Kansas. His father died only six weeks ago. Walter Hedges attended the funeral of his brother at Denison, Sunday, which was held under the auspices of the Odd Fellows.

    John M. Hedges, a brother of Walter Hedges, was shot and killed in Denver a week ago Monday, by Frank Butts. Butts, who shot Hedges, was drunk
    The Horton Headlight-Commercial, Horton, Kansas. Thursday, 11 April 1907.


    The preliminary hearing of Frank Butts, charged with the killing of J.M. Hedges, was held in Las Animas before Justice T.D. Britton. Butts was held without bail until the term of the District Court. It is probable that the defense will try to secure a continuance. In murder cases a continuance is almost always granted over one term, and Butts’ condition is mush that he will probably never be tried for he will hardly live until November.

    High Water Mark for Life Timers At Pen
    James Selfridge No.6932, convicted of murder in the first degree in the district court of Mineral county, was received at the penitentiary Tuesday night to begin a life sentence in the prison. Soon after his arrival the sheriff from Bent county came with Frank Butts, who was given No.6935, who is to serve a life term for murder. Both prisoners are 30 years old.
    Their arrival increased the colony of lifetimers to sixty-five, the highest number of lifers within the walls at any time during the history of the prison. The prison population is now 617, an increase of eighteen over the low water mark of two months ago.

    Notes:

    MHR note:
    Russell disappeared. text from letter August 1900. He never was heard of again by his family. In Danville, Illinois, once a man asked Clarence Clester who he was, and on learning his mother was a Hedges, he asked about the family. This conversation took place at a garage. They never learned who the man was. He [Russell] had gone to Gifford, Illinois to visit a cousin. While there in September 1900 he became despondent, sold his horse and buggy to Joe Lowder, getting part cash and a note which he sent to his mother. The note never was paid. He wrote saying he was going west and would write as soon as he got settled. His family advertised for him and broadcast appeals after radio came into use.


    LKH note:
    No records for Russell found after the 1900 census when he is in his parents' household in Illinois.

    However, it is possible that there might be a record of him in 1904 in Nebraska.

    There is a Russell Hedges listed on the US Army Register of Enlistments whose age and place of birth matches. It also appears that he had two prior enlistment periods and the remarks seem to indicate that he was discharged two years later in 1906.

    Notes:

    If it’s an assembly-line instrument you want, don’t go to Lucian White
    Retired woodworker is fussy about his dulcimers
    By Wayne Arnst, Tribune Staff Writer
    A number of folks back in his home state of “Kentuck” made dulcimers (or dulcimores) so instructions Lucian White, 1019 1/2 10th Ave. SW, saw in a woodworking magazine on how to construct one looked simple enough to him.
    “I just love to work with wood,” the 86-year-old said. “When God made trees for us, that was the greatest gift we ever had, by golly.
    “That plastic stuff make me tired to look at it!”
    The dulcimer has three or four or more strings – banjo strings (G, G, and C), White explained.
    He said the original dulcimers were three-string instruments, although later models have four strings or as many as the player requests. He prefers the basic three-string model.
    White’s woodworking shop in Great Falls is much smaller than the Kentucky mill at which he worked for so many years. And many of the tools he uses for making a dulcimer are homemade. His equipment includes a power sander made from a 1/2-inch drill he got at a rummage sale, spoke shaves to serve as planes for rounded surfaces, a scroll saw and numerous hand tools. He uses carpenter glue when necessary.
    It it’s an assembly-line musical instrument that people want, Lucian White would not be the person to ask. It’s true that modern dulcimers may be a little more polished more sophisticated, than White’s. (He uses hardwood, some of which comes from old packing crates.) But, it the buyer wants tradition – a craftsman’s dulcimer made by a man who has worked with wood for 74 years – then a White dulcimer will undoubtedly be the conversation piece he is after.
    White, who has made a dozen of the instruments, has given most of them away and has two for sale at Kops Music Mart in Westgate shopping center. “I would take orders if people want,” he said.
    The dulcimer is placed on the player’s lap and plucked with a turkey quill, or a piece of plastic if you’re not fussy, and is used to accompany folksingers or just for listening. The not string is played by pressing a wooden peg near the frets.
    White doesn’t play the instrument himself.
    “Haven’t had time to learn how to play ‘em. Too busy makin’ ‘em,” he said.
    White suggested that person wanting to know more details about the dulcimer get a copy of “The Dulcimer Book” by Jean Ritchie.
    This explains her search for its origins and history, how to tune the instrument and includes some Kentucky folk songs to be accompanied by dulcimers.
    White said he was born in the Cumberland Mountains near Morehead, Kentucky in 1894 in an area settled by the English, Scots and Germans.
    His Scottish grandfather “was a timberman, an expert with an ax. Had a reputation for being able to split a hair on a broadax,” White said.
    The timber industry today complains about a depressed housing market but, back when his grandfather was cutting poplar trees to build cabins, things were really booming, White said.
    The trees were 18 inches at the butt, 12 inches at the top and it was 50 feet up to the first branch, White said. His grandfather would make a house pattern of logs, 24 feet long by 20 feet wide, enough to build a log cabin. He’s finish the entire job in about a week for $1.25 and then the neighbors would hold a house raising and dance on a Saturday. White figures that $1.25 would be worth about $75 today.
    The Kentucky hills and its people, especially his grandmother Vianna Hamm, are what White likes to talk about most. “Oh,” he exclaimed, “every boy should have a grandmother like that to tell him stories.”
    It was right after the Civil War when the southern general John Hunt Morgan paid his last visit to White’s grandmother’s hunting lodge, White said. Morgan used to come there before the war for recreation and hunting and White’s grandparent’s hospitality.
    Grandfather Hamm had gotten a land grant to run the lodge and the area was excellent for hunting fox, white-tailed deer and the like. Also had good fishing, White said.
    Well Morgan was one of those generals who never did surrender. He became leader of an outlaw band and would ride in, steal horses and loot a place at the drop of a hat. If there wasn’t any loot worth having or he met resistance in taking it, he’d have his men set all the buildings on fire.
    When they came riding into his grandmother’s after her husband had died, she was down in a cellar along, White said. The outlaws were bent on stealing the horses from the corral but were unable to get them out. “For some reason the horses just ran around in the corral making a commotion.”
    His grandmother ran up from the cellar and accosted the outlaws by herself. White said “John Hunt Morgan!” she shouted at the former general. “Is this the tanks you give me for slaving over a hot cookstove while you were out hunting?
    Morgan just looked down from his big horse and motioned for his men to close the gate. “Come on boys,” he said. “her horse never were any good.” And they rode off.
    White said that, without an education, he started work at 12 years of age wheeling sawdust from a mill where wagon wheel spokes were made.
    “working my way up and was making $3 a day and could read and write a little,” he said. “Better than an education in those days.”
    White served in the Army World War I. He joined up and wanted to become an engineer. “They stripped me naked and set me down with a bunch of other fellas on a cold floor,” he said and told us it’s not what you want – it’s what we want.”
    “They made a cook out of me. I never got out of Kentucky.”
    He didn’t get out of Kentucky until 1949. He came to Montana because of his wife Elsie.
    They were married in 1921. “She wanted to come home every two years,” White said. “Couldn’t keep paying for all those round-trip tickets so I came with her.” They made several trips to Montana to visit her parents before White retired in 1954 and they moved here to stay.
    Elsie was born and raised east of Cascade, daughter of Nellie and Basil Carr. Her uncle was T.W. Minton. White’s boss at the Bourbourville, Ky., mill.
    When T.W. returned to Kentucky from a Montana horse-buying trip in 1919, he brought Elsie and her two sisters with him, White said. “He was showin’ ‘em off around the mill and this big falla asked me, ‘What da you think o’ them chickens the boss brought back?’”
    “Well,” White said, “I’d fell in love with Elsie the minute she walked in. I told that fella to keep his looks off that little gal with the blue eyes ‘cause that was the one I was gonna marry.
    “I worried her for about two years and finally married her,” he said.

    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.
