Added gender. It is either "I" or 1st Indian Brigade. 20 APR 2022 SAC with several newspaper death notices.~ Gentry Journal-Advance August 25, 1899 After a brief illness of a few days the spirit of a generous good man has taken its flight. A.T. Hedges died at the home of his son, C.S. Hedges at 2 o'clock a.m. Wednesday, Aug 23. His remains were laid to rest the following day by the side of his good wife who preceded him several years, in the cemetery at Maysville. Uncle Ambrose Hedges, as he was familiarly called, has been a citizen of Benton County more than a half century. Everybody knew and loved him. He was a man of kind and generous impulses, possessing a cheerful disposition, he delighted to make everyone happy, because it made him happy. Is it any wonder, then, that the town and the entire community shared in the sorrow when the sad news went forth? He was a man who we think it can be truthfully said had no enemies. He has been an honored member of the Masonic Order for many years and was buried with Masonic rites. We extend sympathy to the sorrowing relatives. Gentry Journal-Advance September 1, 1899 Ambrose T. Hedges, the subject of this sketch, was born in Bartholomew county, Ind. Feb. 16, 1826; moved to Bates county, Mo. with his father when quite a boy and in 1844 he came to Benton county, Ark. and in 1850 went to California to seek his fortune; returning to Maysville, Benton county in 1853 where he made his home and in the same year was married to Miss Eliza J. Denton at Maysville where he resided on a farm until about five years ago when he came to Decatur with his only child, C.S. Hedges, where he lived until his death, which occurred Aug. 23rd, 1899. Loved by his family, respected by his neighbors. Only a short time ago Grandpa was apparently enjoying good health and was full of hope for the future. He was stricken with a disease and after several days of suffering, which he bore with patience and fortitude, his spirit was wafted to the beyond. In his death we have lost a dear friend and the community a good citizen. He was an optimist, always looking at the bright side of life, and could see a silver lining to every cloud and was happiest when he could do something to make others happy. His friends were limited only by the extent of his acquaintance. Those who knew him best loved him most. He was a true friend, a cheerful companion, a loving husband and a kind indulgent father. To my grief stricken father and mother I would say, weep not for my beloved Grandpa, for he certainly merited an eternal home in a better world in the far beyond. May angels watch over his slumbers. -Maude Hedges Source: Obituaries of Benton County book, pages 29 and 30 [Courtesy of FAG Contributor: Jenn (48884539)]
