Hedgespeth, died suddenly of a heart attack at her home near Gabe. Mrs. Hedgespeth apparently in the best of health had shortly after the noon meal at 12:30 gone to the poultry yard to look after some small chickens. She was followed shortly by her two small daughters, Nadine and Jessie who found her face down on the ground. Death apparently had been instantaneous. She was in Greensburg on the preceding day in the highest of spirits and on the day of her death had gone about her household duties as usual. She was a good wife, a devoted mother and her loving kindness and pleasing personality will be sadly missed by her immediate family, and a host of relatives and friends. Besides her husband she is survived by three daughters and one son, Miss Ava Hedgespeth, assistant to the Cashie! r at The Peoples Bank, Greensburg; Nadine and Jessie who were at home and one son, Holland Hedgespeth who is expecting Army duty soon; sisters, Mrs. C. Bronston Bale, Dayton, Ohio., and three brothers, Ira and Barnett Wright, Hudgins, and Vernon, Wright, Magnolia. Funeral services were conducted Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at Aetna Grove, (Grissom) Church of which she was a member, by the Rev. Noble Cottrell. Burial was in the church cemetery. Active pall bearers were Loy Sidebottom, Willie Sidebottom, Doyle Graham, Earl Henderson, Henry Williams and Hobert Wright. Honorary pallbearers were Albert Wright, Riley Wright, Pad Whitlow, Pierce Whitlow, Cecil Wright and W. Herman Hagan. The flower girls were Misses Tena Bell Lowe, Fannye Blakeman, Duval Sidebottom, Gene Marshall, Levon Marcum, Joan Taylor, Elizabeth Williams and Bettie Jean Henderson. Obituaries of Green Co.
