I came across this obituary in a copy of The Richwood Gazette (out of Ohio).
Mrs. Blanche Hedges
Funeral services were held Wednesday in Green Camp United Methodist Church with Rev. James Spears of Columbus officiating, for Mrs. Blanche Hedges, 85, of Indian Trail Mobile Home Park, Marion. Burial was in Prospect Cemetery.
Mrs. Hedges passed away Saturday evening, July 20 in Marion General Hospital, after an illness of three weeks. She was originally from the Green camp (sic) area.
Her husband, William Ray Hedges, preceded her in death in 1954.
Surviving are eight children, Mrs. Helen Davis of Cardington, Mrs. Vena Schertzer of Ada, Mrs. Mildred Burley and Mrs. Marilyn Rasey, both of Prospect, Mrs. Dorothy Eberts of Evanston, Ill., Dwight of Green Camp, Lowell of Prospect and Kenneth of Marion. 26 grandchildren and 33 great-grandchildren also survive.
The family's favorite charity is the Gideon Bible Society. All arrangements were in charge of Deming-Thomas Mortuary, Marion.

Also, on the same page, I found this little bit of filler:
Ten thousand acres of soybeans are needed to produce the enamels used in one million American automobiles.
Talk about a slice of history.
