George W Hedrick, aged 72, and for many years one of the foremost citizens of Raleigh, met death suddenly near his home, at Odd Tuesday night on his way home from spending the evening with his son, P G Hedrick. Heart failure is believed to be the cause of his death.
Mr Hedrick was engaged in the mercantile and timber business at Odd, and during the day he had been about his saw mill superintending the work, apparently in his usual good health. Toward evening he went to his store, in charge of his son, P G Hedrick, and remained for the evening meal, as was often his custom. For this reason his absence caused no excitement at home until a late hour. Finally a messenger was sent to the home of his son to find out why he had not come home. Arriving at the creek between the two places. the messenger found Mr Hedrick's body already cold in death lying face down in the water.
From the position of the body it is presumed that he had started across the creek on the plank, going but a step or two when he was stricken and fell. From the waist up the body was under water, so that even if the heart stroke was not fatal he must have drowned.
In his death, Raleigh county loses one of its finest old men. He had been prominently connected with its business and political affairs for years. During the administration of Henry Snuffer, as sheriff, sixteen years ago, he was chief deputy sheriff, the two men practically dividing the duties of the office between them. Later he entered commercial pursuits, and for the last few years had been extensively engaged in timber development.
He is survived by his wife, who was Miss Elizabeth Meadows, of Mercer county and three sons and one daughter: P G Hedrick, who is also an ex-deputy sheriff, C H Hedrick, of Odd, and Mrs Paul F Bair.
Funeral services will be held at the residence Thursday afternoon at two o'clock followed by interment at the family burying ground near Odd.
