According to the book Early History of Brown County; A
Literature
of the People by Territorial Pioneers and Descendants, Pub. by
Western
Printing Co., pp. 29 & 32, "The first settlers came to Aberdeen
Township
about the year 1880. William Hedley was one of these. He
drove
from Lucknow, Canada, bringing lumber with him for a house. He
went
back to Canada in the fall and returned with his family in the spring
of
1881, settling in the northwest part of the township." In 1886
William
is recorded as a roads overseer: "Road overseers were instructed to
collect
sums assessed against each property through cash or labor on the road
at
$1.50 per day for a man and $3.00 for a man and team, wagon or
plow..."
Federal land patents (deeds) were granted to William Hedley in 1884 and
1889 for Meridian 05, Township 123 N., Range 064 W., Section 006,
Acreage
160. (Information supplied by Marlene Hedley, Saskatchewan, July 2001)
Shortly after 1881 they moved to Aberdeen, South Dakota where their
eighth child, Elmer, was born in 1884. Sarah died in 1887 at the age of
40, three years after Elmer's birth. William and Sarah had eight
children

Note: In the
following account, the
names of William
Hedley's children and their spouses are in red.
Names
of William's
grandchildren and their spouses are in green, and
names of William's great
grandchildren and their spouses are in bold black.
1 - Alvina
(Vine) J. Hedley, born in 1865 in Wawanosh, was 16 when her family
moved to Aberdeen, South Dakota. She married Albert Hull, who was
born Aug. 26, 1871, the fourth child of Sarah Marie Isaac and Elias Hull.
(Albert’s first marriage was to Rachael
Cole, who was b. in Iowa in 1872, the second child of Velletta
and David Cole. Albert and Rachel were married Dec. 13, 1893. Twins
Zelma and Zelona Hull were born March 11, 1895 in Flint, MI. and their
mother Rachael died less than a year later, on Jan. 2, 1896 in Genesee,
MI; burial in Rowley Cemetery.)
At the time of Rachel’s death in 1896, Albert
would have been 24. Alvina would have been about 30. It is not known
when Alvina and Albert were married nor whether they played a role in
raising the twin girls, nor is it known whether Alvina and Albert had a
child of their own.
In 1930 Alvina, age 65, and Albert Hull, 59,
were living in Lansing, Michigan. Albert Hull died at age 78 on Oct. 5,
1949 in Lansing, Ingham County, Michigan; burial Rowley Cemetery, Locke
Twp., Ingham Co., MI. The date of Alvina’s death is not known.
2 - Henry John Hedley,
born Aug. 27, 1866 in Wawanosh, was 15 when his family moved to
Aberdeen, S.D. He married Ella (–?--), a native of
Minnesosa, in 1898 when he was 32 years old (Ella’s second marriage).
Henry and Ella probably lived in Iowa during the first years of their
marriage, as their five eldest children were born in Iowa. Some time
between 1907 and 1909 the family must have moved to Michigan, as their
fifth child, Olive, was born there in 1909. The 1910 US Census for
Michigan shows Henry J. Hedley and his wife Ella and their six
children living in rented quarters in 4-WD Muskegon City, where Henry
was working as a cook.

Ten years later, the 1920 US Census for Michigan shows the
family living in a mortgaged home on Monroe Ave., Muskegon City. Henry
was working as a hotel chef, and only two children remained at home,
Glenn, age 15, and Olive, age 10. Lauretta 20 and Ruth 18 were probably
working outside the home. Grace (who would have been 13) had apparently
died.

The following ten years brought major changes in the lives of the Henry
John Hedley family. Henry John had died in his 50s, leaving Ella a
widow. Ella was working as a "tailoress" in a tailor shop. She was now
owner of her Monroe St. home, and renting quarters from her were her
youngest daughter Olive, now 20, and her husband Theodore Weaver, who
was working in a radio shop. Olive and Theodore were the parents of a
one-year-old daughter, born in Illinois, who was also named Olive.

23-year-old
Ronald Johnson, who was born about 1867
(1900 US Census for Aberdeen, Brown County, South
Dakota). The Early History of Brown County, South
Dakota by Helen J. Bergh
gives
the following
account: "During the middle 1800s the John Johnson family
drove down from
Canada and homesteaded near Ipswich, later moving to Aberdeen
Township. Two of
their sons, Ronald and
Angus, spent the
balance of their lives here, and a daughter, Mrs. Mae Dell
Somerville, now ninety and
active, resides in
Aberdeen."
Ronald Johnson
died in 1925 at age 58. Emma died eleven years later on Dec.25, 1936 at
age 67 in
Brown County; burial in Riverside Cemetery, Aberdeen,
S. Dakota. Sarah Emily Hedley and Ronald Johnson had

20, 1894, a natural born citizen of the U.S., born in Aberdeen, South
Dakota and is working as a
bookkeeper for the
Gamble-Robinson Fruit Company in Aberdeen. He is single and not

Guy was the youngest of the six
children of
Sarah Ann Rowell and John Hall Gleason. Guy’s mother, Sarah Ann Rowell,
was born about 1833 in East Plainfield, Sullivan Co., New Hampshire (d.
Nov.5,1882). Sarah was the daughter of Mary (Polly) Moore, born about

5 - William Robert Hedley, born Sept.13, 1872, in Ashfield, was 8 years
old when his family moved to Aberdeen, S.D. According to a family
story, Robert
William was working as a bartender in 1894 (possibly in the Waubay
Hotel in S. Dakota) when he met 18-year-old Josephine (Johanna)
Olson from Sweden (b. 1876;
d. Aug. 2, 1960) who worked as a cook and maid in the same hotel.
The 1900 U.S. Census for Waubay Village, Waubay Township, Day
County, S. Dakota lists William R. Hedley, age 25, b. Sept. 1874,
single, a boarder in the household of "restaurant keeper" Paul Roberts.
William is working as a "restaurant clerk." William R. Hedley was born
in Canada, immigrated to the U.S. in 1881, and had lived there for 19
years. Both of his parents are listed as born in Canada. Olag W. Olson,
also a boarder in the Roberts household, is listed on the same census.
Olag is single, white, male, age 25 (born in 1875 in Sweden); both
parents born in Sweden. (It is possible
that Olag was Josephine’s brother or cousin.) The 1900 U.S.
Census for Campbell County, S. Dakota shows "Josephine L. Olson,
age 24, born in 1876."
William and Johanna were married about 1901 and lived in Aberdeen,
N.D. at least until 1903. They eventually moved to Canada, and in 1913

After the death of William’s first wife Sarah at age 41 in
1887, William married Julia Ann Bennett, age 36, a seamstress. Julia
and William had three more children. Julia was the daughter of
Elsie (Eliza) and Alfred Bennett. The 1960 Census
lists Alfred and Eliza and their first two children:

Twenty years later Julia’s family had moved to Ovid, Michigan and

In 1910 William, age 73, was living in Michigan with his son and
daughter-in-law Elmer and Gertrude and their two young children. The
Census of 1910 states that William is in his second marriage, has been
married 15 years and is the father of 13 children, 11 of whom are
living.
Ten years later, in 1920, William, age 83, was living with his
daughter and son-in-law Maud and Arthur Geer and their 11 and
17-year-old daughters in Lansing, Michigan. William’s wife Julia
appears to be living separately. The 1920 US
Census for Eagle, Clinton County, Michigan lists "Julia Hedley
(head) age 64, ‘widow', rented home, born in Michigan."
Two years after the 1920 census reports, William Henry Hedley, age
85, eldest son of Jane (McBride) and Nicholas Hedley, died on September
10, 1922 in Aberdeen, South Dakota (location unconfirmed). If
William died in Aberdeen, S. Dakota, he may have been living with some
of
his family who were still resident in Brown County. William’s daughter
Emma, age 53, her husband Ronald Johnson and their two children
Florence and Grant were still living in Brown County, S. Dakota in
1922. Elsie Alpha, age 30, the eldest of William and Julia’s three
children, was also living in Brown County in 1922.Julia (Bennett) and
William Hedley had three children, whose births

born April 26, 1892, married Lewis
W. (Lou) Cahill on Oct. 14, 1904 in

12 in 1904.) Lew was
the son of Melinda Preston and Cornelius Cahill.
