- A Sudden Death
The Community Shocked by the Passing Away of a Good Citizen.
This community was startled yesterday afternoon, about 4 o’clock, to hear of the sudden death of Mr. Lycurgus E. Hedges. He was going to Zacharias’ stable to get his team to take a ride, leaving his wife at home waiting for him. Near Trinity M.E. Church he stopped to assist some men pull a limb from a tree and then walked on out Second street, where, at the Novitiate, he was seized with illness and falling to the pavement in front of the Novitiate expired in a few minutes. Mr. Jerome Ford was in front of him and hearing a peculiar noise turned just in time to see him fall. Dr. F.F. Smith was immediately summoned but found life extinct. Mr. Frank T. Rhodes, who was passing at the time in his wagon, procured a mattress from the Novitiate and took the sad burden home. Mr. Hedges had been failing in health for some time, having suffered two attacks of grip. The death of an only child last spring further prostrated him, and though apparently better, he never rallied from these physical infirmities, and the sever mental strain caused by affliction.
Lycurgus Edward Hedges was born in this county, and has spent many years of his life in this community. In early life he taught school, afterwards removing to town where he clerked for a while, and subsequently engaged in the grain and flour business, at one time being located on East Patrick street. Several years ago he retired from business and has since led a retired live. Quiet, unobtrusive in his manners, he never sought any public position for emolument or honor, though in all capacities where he served he did so with great credit to himself and honor to the community. He had been a trustee and manager of the board of Montevue Hospital; a director in the First National bank; president of the board of managers of Mt. Olivet cemetery, and an officer of the Reformed church. He married Miss Amanda Baker, of Washington county, who survives him. Of his immediate family there remain two brothers, Adam and Abraham Hedges, residing respectively in Georgetown, D.C., and Lewistown, this county, and a sister, Mrs. Wm. H. Derr, of Baltimore.
Mr. Hedges was in the 67th year of his age. In his death Frederick loses one of its best citizens. He was an upright, honest man, who in all the walks of life commanded the esteem of his associates. He was a firm friend and a wise counselor, and in all respects his sound judgment was unerring. As a faithful husband, an indulgent father, his place can never be filled. He was a pleasant companion, always popular among his friends and withal a man who will be sadly missed by a large circle of friends. Of him it can be truly said he was one of nature’s noblemen, and his memory will live ever green in the hearts of all who knew his intrinsic worth.
His funeral will take place Thursday morning at 11 o’clock; interment in Mt. Olivet cemetery.
