Hedges, James A. -- Died, at Mansfield, Ohio, July 4th., 1878, James A. Hedges, aged forty-four years. The death of James A. Hedges, which occurred on the 4th. inst., was received by our entire community with feeling of profound sorrow. Some three weeks ago he was compelled to abandon a business trip and return home stricken with inflammatory rheumatism. his friends hoped that the usual medicinal appliances, careful attention and much needed rest would soon restore him to health. All that the best medical skill could accomplish or suggest, or loving hands do, was done and all without avail. The disease did not yield to treatment, but made gradual inroads upon his strong constitution, and after little more than three weeks intense suffering, borne with great fortitude, surrounded by his family and friends, and all that makes life dear or desirable, he passed peacefully into the better world beyond. The subject of this sketch was more than an ordinary man, filled no common place in the material growth and prosperity of our city, and deserves more than a passing notice. He was a son of Elzy and Harriet Hedges, and nephew and namesake of Gen. James Hedges and the late Andrew Newman -- the very earliest and most respected pioneers of our city and county. Thus he came of honored ancestors and his life was not unworthy of them. His early life was passed as clerk in the dry goods store of E. & C. Hedges (his father and brother), pioneer merchants in our county; and while here he gave promise of and developed those fine business qualities that made him so eminently successful in after years. As a business man he was remarkable for honesty and integrity, joined with mature judgment and an intense energy of character, which easily surmounted and overcame all ordinary obstacles. Nearly twenty years ago, his keen judgment perceived that at no distant day our city would become a desirable distributing point for the various articles of merchandise, and to the accomplishment of this he gave his energy, his years and his life. As his ancestors were pioneers in the then unbroken wilderness, so he became a pioneer in this then unexplored field of commerce, and all can now realize how keen was his foresight and how much he thus advanced the material interests of our city. He gave nearly twenty years of active, energetic labor to the cultivation and advancement of the wholesale trade, which is to-day the pride and glory of our city. such a life a generous public will always gratefully remember, and such a 'name they will not willingly let die.' Although the most generous of men -- always responding liberally to the calls of the distressed and unfortunate -- by his energy and thrift he left a handsome competency to his family. In the war of the Rebellion he served as First Lieutenant in the Second Regiment O.V.H.A. with credit to himself and honor to the country. When peace was declared he returned home and again embarked in the wholesale grocery business, associated with Peter Remy and A.C. Cummins, and by his energy and business fact, as well as his former experience in trade, largely contributed to make this firm a success from the start. A few years later the firm was changed to Remy, Hedges & Walter, who have since become among the most prosperous and successful grocers in Central Ohio. He died young, but lived long enough to know that his judgment in selecting his native city as a proper distributing point for articles of merchandise was justified, and that honest fair dealing has its reward. In politics he was a Republican, believing that the principles of that party if properly administered, are best calculated to promote the welfare of the entire people. Last fall he was selected by his party as a candidate for the responsible position of County Treasurer, and although largely in the minority, and his opponent a true and tried man, the very flattering vote he received showed in what high esteem he was held by the community at large. It can be truly said of him that in every department of life, whether as citizen, soldier, neighbor or friend, 'take him for all in all, he was a man.' In the hour of his country's need a strong defender, in peace an honest and upright citizen. He died young -- his sun setting at noon -- and yet he lived long enough to realize the wisdom of his judgment and reap the reward of his early efforts in building up the wholesale trade in our midst. He done a vast amount of work, and what is better, he done it well, for "We live in deeds -- not years; In feelings -- not in figures on a dial." The large concourse that followed his remains to our beautiful cemetery or that inclement afternoon, testified more than words the deep impression his quiet and unostentatious life had left upon the hearts of our people, and amid the mournful minstrel of many voices from that fraternal order he loved so well in life, he was laid peacefully away to await the final resurrection of the just. The sympathies of the entire community go out to the widow and fatherless and to the aged mother again called to mourn the loss of a cherished son. Thus passed away a devoted husband, an affectionate father, and a good citizen. He rests from his labors, 'may it be in peace'. -- C. [Ohio Liberal: 10 July 1878]

Hedrick, Alfred -- A Horrible Death. Few people who read the notice of the death of Alfred Hedrick in yesterday's paper had any idea that there was anything of a sensational character connected with the demise. Such is the fact, however, as the following horrible tale will tell: For the past eight months Mr. Hedrick, who was 76 years of age, has been afflicted with kidney trouble, and knowing that at his time of life there was little chance of his recovery, he became very much depressed and it appears that he got the idea that it would be better for himself and family if he were dead. Knowing that the old gentleman was of this opinion the members of his family watched his movements closely in order to prevent any attempts, he might make upon his life. He was able a portion of the time to walk about, but never left his home during this period of his illness. About 10 o'clock Tuesday night, Mr. Hedrick told his daughter, Miss Jennie, that he was going out back of the house. A few moments afterward on going to the door she discovered her father lying on the ground, near the coal house, his head blazing with fire, while a common tin can sat on the ground near his prostrate body. The daughter, almost overcome at the sight, soon recovered sufficiently to secure a shawl from the house and wrap it around his head. The shawl, however, failed to extinguish the fire and she secured a bucket of water, but that also failed to put out the flames. Miss Hedrick then secured the assistance of her brother, Thomas Hedrick, who resides on the same street, and together they succeeded in getting the father into the house and extinguishing the flames. Before this could be accomplished the hair of the head had all disappeared, the eye balls were puffed and bleary and the skull was burned and blackened in a manner fearful to behold. An investigation of the spot where the old gentleman was discovered revealed the fact that it was a case of premeditated suicide. A common tin can containing coal oil was found near there and it is surmised that the old man had filled the can on the afternoon of the same day and, watching his opportunity, had poured the greater portion of the contents upon the top of his head and face, and then set fire to it with a match. On being taken into the house physicians were sent for, but found that nothing could be done. The unfortunate man was discovered at 10 o'clock and at 1 o'clock, Wednesday morning, he died, having lived just three hours after his desperate attempt to end his life. Before he died Mr. Hedrick was conscious for a short time and on being asked why he did such a thing, replied that he had tired of life and said that he was sorry that he had resorted to such a horrible remedy. The blaze was noticed in the back yard by neighbors, but at the time nothing was thought of it. The family of the deceased was desirous of keeping the matter quiet, until after the funeral this afternoon, at least, and requested all acquainted with the facts to say nothing about it. The information leaked out this morning, however, and the news of the horrible affair spread like wildfire. The remains of the deceased were buried from his late residence at 2 o'clock this afternoon. -- [Richland Shield & Banner: 05 September 1891, Vol. LXXIV, No. 16]

Heistand, Daniel -- Died, Monday, February 4th., 1878 at the residence of his daughter, Mansfield, Ohio, Daniel Heistand, aged 88 years. He was born in Washington County, Maryland, in 1790, was married in 1812 to Mary Koonts, and emigrated in 1827 to Mansfield, O., when he has resided ever since. In 1828 he united with the M.E. Church of this place of which he was a consistent member till his death. Such a life as this is worthy of more than a passing notice. His birth occurred during the second year of the first Presidential term of Washington, so that his 88 years embrace almost the entire period of our country's history. In the marvelous changes and growth of that time he has had his place and has done his work. The companions of his active years were the stalwart men who braved the dangers and endured the toils of pioneer life, and founded our States, builded {sic} our cities and churches, and transmitted to us the heritage of civil and religious liberty. Father Heistand survived nearly all the friends of his early years and labors. His wife, the companion of 66 years, died about two years ago. His religious life was of the best type. He loved the church, and for the most part of the 50 years of his membership he was a local preacher, and held other places of trust in all of which he was active and useful. His old age was happy and cheerful. Bodily infirmities and the weight of years pressed upon him, but he was "Joyful in hope, patient in tribulation". His last sickness was brief and he passed away as one falling asleep. "He came to his grave in a full age like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season." Children and many remain to mourn his loss. His burial took place to-day at 10˝ o'clock. [Ohio Liberal: 06 February 1878]
