Dear Peggy,
Just got some more information from Blackford County. Judge John Hedge wrote back to the
"Telegram" about reading an article they wrote on J.S. Townsend in April of
1898. It mentions his life and what he has been doing in Hoxie. Please send me your
address and I will mail it along with some other info. they sent on the Hedges to include
Jacob marrying Elizabeth Haines on Dec. 7,1862. and his death on Dec. 23, 1874. She
remarried James Tharp on Sept.26, 1875. John also remarried. The 1900 census shows his
new wife is Mary A. Hedge and he is the county attorney and they are living in Hoxie. He
does not apprear in the 1910 census nor does she. Thanks. Marion P.S. I am having some
trouble with my main computer. I think it's the hard drive. Anyhow AOL won't
come up at all so I am using alternate sources. So leave me messages here if you would.
