Inscription
WM. R. HEDRICK
DIED
Apr. 22, 1858
Aged 41 yr.
6 mo. & 12 ds.
Epitaph:
Blessed are the dead which
died in the Lord.
Notes: In the previous readings of the cemetery, it was noted that the year of death was either 1838 or 1858. After the stone was cleaned, it showed to be 1858.
Also, the 6 mo. & 12 ds. were in the line that was broken on the stone, and I used the WPA work for this line.
The epitaph was in the bottom portion that was not able to be attached back to the stone.
We worked on this gravestone in the summer of 1999, and you would like to read a full account of the work we did, please click on the picture that I posted and read the caption.
