Obituary for Josiah Quincy Hedges from the Seneca Whig of March 3, 1849:
"Died on the 18th of February at the residence of his father in Tiffin, of pulmonary consumption, Josiah Q. Hedges Esq. age 35 years 11 months and 3 days. The deceased was the eldest surviving son of Josiah Hedges, Esq., of this place, and had been engaged in business for several years. Smittened with disease, he began to fail in strength and energy. He resorted to every possible means to regain his health but without effect. The deceased leaves a family and large circle of friends to mourn his death. He was a kind father and affectionate husband, and endeared in community by his many amiable qualities."
