KEDIGH OBITUARIES, Henry County, Missouri
====================================================================

KEDIGH, Michael 1840 - 1925

Michael Kedigh died at his home southeast of Urich, at eight o'clock Monday 
morning, with heart trouble. He had not been well for some time and he had laid 
down on the cot to rest, when a short while after his wife found him dead. He 
simply went to sleep as gently and peaceable as he had lived. He was born in 
Germany December 11, 1840. When five years old he came with his parents to 
America, first settling in Ohio. He came to Henry county in 1870 and settled on 
the farm where he died, it having been his home ever since. His first wife passed 
away years ago. His second wife, who was Margaret Henny, survives him. He 
leaves the following children by his first marriage: Mrs. Emma Martin, 
Geyserville, Calif.; Jake Kedigh, Ballard; John Kedigh, Mountain, Ark.; and two 
sons are left by the second marriage to comfort their mother: Ben and Omer 
Kedigh of Urich. He also leaves 14 grandchildren. He had been a member of the 
Lutheran church for years and put Christianity into every day living, looking for 
the good in people and things. He inspired others to higher ideals and better living 
by his confidence in them. He was held in the highest esteem in his community, 
loved by young and old. He was always a conservative, good business man and 
farmer. He loved his family and his home and desired the best for his loved ones. 
Rev. Jackson preached the funeral at his late home Wednesday afternoon. 
Interment in the Hickory Grove cemetery.
