George W. Hedge, township trustee of Eel River Township, Hendricks County, Ind., is a native of this township, and was born March 24, 1837. His grandfather, William Hedge, was a prominent farmer of Pulaski County, Va., and was of English descent. He was, however, one of the pioneers of Hendricks County, Ind., where he entered a tract of land and became a substantial farmer. His wife bore the maiden name of Lucinda Godby. David Hedge, son of William and Lucinda Hedge, and father of George W., our subject, was born in Pulaski County, Va., but was yet a young man when he came to Hendricks County, Ind., in company with his father. Here he entered 160 acres of government land and hewed from the forest a comfortable home. He married Keturah Proctor, daughter of James B. and Elizabeth (Tendor) Proctoe, and to this union were born the following children; George W., James H., Harriet J., Paulina F., Sarah F., John H., William G., Oliver P., Coleman, David, Charles C., Lee R. and Cora E.
George W. Hedge was educated in an old-fashioned log school-house, the style of edifice used for school purposes in the pioneer days of home-spun clothing, pancakes, venison, bear meat and wild turkey. After quitting school, Mr. Hedge taught two terms in similar buildings, but he was reared a farmer, and farming has been his vocation until the present time. He now owns a fertile farm of ninety-two acres, well-improved, with every modern convenience. In politics Mr. Hedge is a Democrat, has been elected township trustee by his party, and is now filling the office for the fifth year. He is a public-spirited citizen, a progressive farmer, is interested in the advancement of the schools of his township, and has witnessed the greater part of the improvements placed on the farms of Hendricks County. He was married, December 14, 1869, to Miss Mattie J. Davis, daughter of Jesse and Minerva (Zimmerman) Davis. Mr. Davis is now eighty-eight years old, is hale and hearty, and is one of the oldest pioneers of the township. He makes his home with his daughter, and is a consistent member of the Christian Church. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Hedge were named as follows: Homer V., Jesse D. (deceased), Stanley L. and Charley (deceased).
