(It was confirmed to me, by the cemetery office, this is the only Stanley Hedges, died at age 53, buried in the cemetery. The memorial for this Stanley's father is not correct. It appears his name was placed on the tombstone, with intentions of being buried there, but in fact died and was buried in Ohio. I have requested corrections. In addition, the father died after this Stanley died. The story is not clear if the obituary, stating the senior Stanley died 1st, was an error or if the family did not know)
**Lee has not been added as this Stanley's middle name, per family being firm on he did not have a middle name. I respect that and left "Lee" off the memorial. It is not uncommon to be called Sr and Jr merely for clarification & not necessarily that the birth names are the same.
From The Lexington Leader 5 July 1978
Stanley Hedges, Jr., 53, husband of Mary Craig Hedges, 143 N. Hanover Avenue, died in Good Samaritan Hospital Tuesday.
