He and Joyce had a family of six. Betty Dorinda Hedley married Jack Carrick and they have three children. Betty and Jack live in Owen Sound. Nettie was highly esteemed and a kind neighbour. She died on April 21st 1943, at only 39 years of age. Delbert, quite young at the time of his mother's death, still remembers the funeral from the Glamis Baptist Church where horses were waiting to take the coffin to G reenhill Cemetery in Lucknow. In 1943, Mervyn's parents, Wesley and Martha, moved next door, B3039. Mervyn remarried in 1944 to Margaret S. Gilchrist (1925–2013), originally from Lot 26 Concession 2 Bruce Township. They had no children. The Hedley store was a popular spot on Saturday nights when several would gather for a game of cards. Mervyn and Margaret did the caretaking for both St. Paul's Presbyterian Church, where Mervyn was a Sunday School teacher, and for Glamis Baptist C hurch, where Mervyn was choir director. In 1969 the store was sold and a gigantic auction sale was held, attracting huge crowds. The Hedleys moved to Walkerton, where Mervyn worked for an insurance company. He passed away in 1994 and Margaret in 2013. information provided by Contributor: DebVSatterleeMcLachlan (48021149) A double cousin (both sides of this couple): through Nettie Colwell's lineage (her great-grandparents are my direct ancestors also) and Mervyn's Mum's Gibson lineage (Shier grandma, so related a bit further back).
