"Alfred Lafayette Hedrick worked as a farm hand on his father's farm and at other neighbors' farms in Marion County. On August 24, 1876, he married Mary Jane Eagy, the daughter of a neighboring farmer, Washington Eagy. Later that year, he moved with his wife and her family, by train, to Linn County, Oregon where Washington Eagy purchased a farm near Oakville. Alfred lived with his wife on the farm until mid 1879, when he became homesick for his family in Iowa and traveled back there by train. At the time his wife didn't realize that she was pregnant, and had her child, Elma Maud Hedrick, in December, 1879, but when Alfred didn't return to Oregon, Mary filed for a divorce and married William Henry Pugh, with whom she had a large family. Alfred also marrried a second time, to Susan Idaho Richards on September 21, 1884 in Knoxville, Marion County, Iowa, and they had a large family of seven children, Emma, Lois, Lillie, Sherman (named after the General), Edna, James Allen and Clyde, who was born in May, 1899. Alfred lived until May 1, 1910 and is buried in the Gosport Cemetery."
