The house belonging to Mr. J.W. Hedgepeth about 2 miles northeast of Fairmont, was totally destroyed Saturday night by fire of unknown origin. Mr. Hedgepeth was in Lumberton at the time visiting his son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. E.L. Hedgepeth, and knew nothing of the conflagration until he went home yesterday. Neighbors who saw the flames about 11 o’clock rushed to the scene, but were unable to save much furniture. Mr. Hedgepeth carried a small amount of insurance.
From the front page of The Robesonian, Lumberton, N.C., Monday Sept. 1, 1924. Hedgpeth or Hedgepeth?
