HEDRICK, Elias E.
Marion Leader Tribune (Grant Co., Indiana); Saturday 14 February 1914

            Elias E. Hedrick, 40 years of age, was killed at his home in Lafontaine Friday by what was possibly the accidental discharge of a shotgun.  No one was in the room with Mr. Hedrick when he received the fatal wound and he was never able to give an explanation of the transaction.  He was wounded at 11:20 a.m. and died within thirty minutes from internal hemorrhage.
            Mrs. Hedrick, wife of the man accidentally killed, was in the kitchen getting dinner when she heard the shot in the sitting room.  Neighbors were summoned as quickly as possible and Dr. Dicken was called.  Hedrick said to him as he entered the house, "Dr. I am suffering terribly."  A hypodermic injection relieved the wounded man's pain.  Shortly before his death occurred he said in answer to a question, "I can see light."
            The shot from the 20-guage shotgun entered Hedrick's upper abdomen possibly going through the stomach and passing in an upward position into the lungs.  While the skin was not powder burned the muzzle of the gun was close, since the shot had not scattered but had torn one large hole in the wall of the abdomen.  It is the supposition that Hedrick had taken the gun from its rack in preparation for using it and that something was wrong with the gun and in attempting to find the cause it was accidentally discharged.
            Dr. G.G. Eckhart was called from this city to Lafontaine, the physicians there regarding that possibly the man would survive the shock and that there might be an opportunity to save his life by an operation but the man was beyond surgical aid when Dr. Eckhart arrived.
            Elias Hedrick formerly worked with his father who for many years had a general store at Banquo.  He was fairly well known in Marion, having much business here.  Some time ago he moved to Lafontaine and conducted a grocery there but closed out this business last November and since then had not been engaged in any business.

WELL KNOWN WOMAN OF VAN BUREN, DESPONDENT BECAUSE SHE WAS ALONE IN THE WORLD, ENDED HER LIFE WITH ACID

            Despondent because she was practically alone in the world, having no near relatives, Mrs. Fannie Hedrick, aged 56, widow of the late Jacob Hedrick, committed suicide Thanksgiving morning in Van Buren by drinking carbolic acid.
            Little could be ascertained as to the motive other than despondency.  She was with her step-daughter, Mrs. Homer Oliver, on Second street, and members of the family were astounded when she came staggering into the sitting room shortly before 6 o'clock this morning and stated she had taken carbolic acid.
            Dr. Toney was called at once but the deadly acid had done its work.  She died about 9 o'clock after great effort had been made to counteract the influence of the acid.
            Mrs. Hedrick is said to have made no statement other than she was tired of living and took the acid with the intention of ending her life.  She had no near relatives, but had a step-daughter and step-son, the children of her second husband.  Mr. Hedrick, her second husband, died a little over a year ago.  It is thought that she chose for ending her life the day on which most people are joyous and happy for the reason she could not endure recollections of happy days, which to her seemed past forever.
            Prior to her marriage to Mr. Hedrick, several years ago Mrs. Hedrick was the widow of Dr. Ballard, once a well known physician of Van Buren.  She had lived in Van Buren a number of years.
            Mrs. Hedrick, it is learned, lived at 1502 South Branson street, Marion, and was only in Van Buren on a visit, going there two weeks ago.  She was a particular friend of Dr. and Mrs. R.A. Barnes of Branson street and they were greatly shocked when told this morning of the death of Mrs. Hedrick.
            Mrs. Barnes said that since the death of Mr. Hedrick, Mrs. Hedrick seemed despondent at times and altogether a different woman but also had never dreamed of her committing suicide.  Mr. Hedrick's estate was somewhat involved at the time of his death but there was a means left and it is hardly believed that financial difficulties could have caused her act.
            Mrs. Hedrick was a very proud member of the Christian Church of Van Buren but since her residence in Marion has attended the First Friends Church on account of its convenience.  Mrs Hedrick was observed by friends at the Methodist Church in Van Buren a week ago last Sunday and since she scarcely ever attended that church the matter was commented on.
            A woman of most excellent character and with no known cause why she should take her life the case presents a great mystery.  Her residence in Marion has been only since the death of her late husband.  Her girlhood was spent in Ohio but early in life she came to Van Buren.  She reared the children of her first husband from infants and was to them an excellent mother.

[NOTE--Mary signed her last will and testament just a couple of weeks before her suicide on 8 November 1910, maybe she was thinking ahead?--Amy Hedrick]

HEDRICK, Paul David
--written by Amy Hedrick

            Paul David Hedrick was born 8 September 1940 to Wordner David Hedrick and Viola Mae Harrell in Marion, Grant Co., Indiana. On 17 August 2003, at the age of 62, he passed away at home in Jacksonville, Duval Co., Florida.
            Due to the untimely death of my father, and my mother's privacy, an official obituary was never printed in any newspapers, and only close friends and relatives were made aware of his passing.
            Paul spent his whole life growing up in Marion, school, friends, jobs, etc. At the start of the Vietnam war, he was drafted into the U.S. Army and stationed in Turkey to guard nuclear weapons. While there he took many photos and collected souvenirs. Those photos are now in my possession.
            After his service was over he married Mary Ellen Shafer on 20 November 1966. To them two children were born, Scott Allen Hedrick now of Jacksonville, Duval Co., Florida and Amy Lyn Hedrick, now of Waynesville, Brantley Co., Georgia.
            Paul studied to become a locksmith, and in 1987 realized his dream of going into his own business, and bought H & T Locks in Brunswick, Glynn Co., Georgia. He relocated his whole family and continued in life there for about 10 more years. Later, he sold the business and moved to Jacksonville, Duval Co., Florida with his wife and son.
            Paul is survived by his wife; children; two grandchildren; two brothers, Robert Hedrick of Gas City, Grant Co., Indiana and John Hedrick of Jacksonville, Duval Co., Florida; one sister Esther Paschal of Griffin, Georgia; and several nieces and nephews.

SUICIDE OF MRS. HEADRICK NEAR BANQUO--Mrs. Pearl Headrick took Strichnine After Visit to Fairmount.

DAUGHTER OF ISRAEL WIAND OF THIS CITY--Death Due to Domestic Troubles It Is Said  Died Tuesday.

            Shortly after reaching her home, three-quarters of a mile west of Banquo, Monday afternoon from a visit at Fairmount, Mrs. Pearl Headrick, aged 35, wife of Elias Headrick, swallowed a large quantity of strychnine and death resulted at 2 o'clock Tuesday morning.
            She gave no cause for her rash act, but it is supposed that domestic difficulties led to her suicide.
            She is a daughter of Israel Wiand, living at 1512 South Adams street, this city and a brother of John Wiand, living at the same address.  Her sister, Mrs. Wesley Fowler, resides at Converse.  Mrs. J. Headrick lived in Marion most of her life before going to Banquo about seven years of ago.  Besides a father and brother she has numerous relatives in this city.  The relatives received messages this morning telling of the suicide.
            Mrs. Headrick and her husband returned home from Fairmount yesterday afternoon about 2 o'clock.  While the husband was at the barn putting away the rig in which they had ridden from Fairmount, the woman swallowed the poison.  When the husband found her he sent to neighbors for assistance and doctors were summoned.
            When she was asked why she had taken the poison she only replied:
            "If you had gone through what I did you would well know the reason."
            The woman lingered until Tuesday morning at 2 o'clock.  She died without making any further statement.  Relatives in this city were shocked at the news of the suicide, and can not assign any cause.  The funeral took place Thursday afternoon.

HEDRICK, William
The Warren Republican (Huntington Co., Indiana); Thursday 23 April 1891

            Last Saturday morning the body of Wm. Hedrick, who lived with his grandmother at Pleasant Plain, was found dead in the corner of the fence along the road, a short distance east of Daniel Groff's, in Jefferson Twp.  It appears that Hedrick, whose age was about eighteen years, came to Warren on Friday with two other young men named Charles and Dan Adams, and became very much intoxicated, especially Hedrick.  They were afoot and did not start home till towards evening.  When they passed Col. Perdue's, Charles Adams was leading Hedrick, and a short distance beyond the house the latter fell down in the road.  Adams came back and got Perdue to go and help him get Hedrick.  Perdue says that Hedrick was the drunkest man he ever saw.  He helped start the boys on, and Adams succeeded in getting Hedrick about five miles on the road towards home and gave out.  He left Hedrick by the fence, he [Hedrick] telling him to go on home and he would come after awhile.  On inquiry the next morning Adams learned that Hedrick had not yet come home and he went back to where he had left him and found him dead.  The Coroner's inquest resulted in finding that Hedrick's death was caused by whisky and exposure.  The funeral was held the next day, conducted by Rev. Albert Smith, who preached an able sermon, and the remains were buried at Mt. Etna.
