Mr. John Hedden, one of  Southville's old and highly respected citizens, died suddenly at his residence in that place, last Friday evening about 7:00 o'clock. Up to the time of his death, Mr. Hedden had been in the enjoyment of excellent health.  Just before going into his supper he had been weighing some cattle and joking with his neighbors, and seemed to be in unusually fine spirits.  He ate a hearty supper, and pushing his chair back from the table, fell to the floor, dead, without a moments warning.  Heart disease is supposed to have been the cause of his death.

Mr. Hedden was born in the neighborhood, where he died, September 9, 1824, and on arriving at the age of manhood engaged in the mercantile business, which he followed up to the time of his death.  He was a member of Salem Church, and a man of correct habits and unapproachable character, well liked by everyone.

Sister Elizabeth P. McClain

Published Thursday 27 May 1886, Shelby Sentinel

Sister Elizabeth P. McClain, wife of Jacob McClain, died of paralysis at her home, near Shelbyville, Shelby county, May 16, 1886, in the sixty-eighth year of her age. She was baptized, when quite young, into the fellowship of Buck Creek Baptist Church, Shelby county, by Brother George Waller. Was married December 11, 1842, and the following year brought her letter to Salem Church, where she lived a consistent Christian life; but the hand of disease was laid heavily upon her and her sufferings were very great for several months before she died, and she seemed anxious to get to that rest prepared for the people of God. She was a faithful and loving wife, a kind and devoted mother and a good neighbor. No mother ever had a more devoted family of children, who night and day anxiously anticipated every want. She leaves an aged husband, one son, and three daughters to mourn her departure, but they mourn not as those who have no hope.

Funeral services were held at Salem Church, conducted by Rev. J. A. French, who beautifully expounded the text, “Though we walk through the valley and the shadow of death, we will fear no evil.” May the Lord sanctify this dispensation of His providence to the good of all the family, and may they, in a full faith in Christ, meet her in the bright beyond.
