Biographical Note
Earle Raymond Hedrick (1847-1943) was born in Union City, Indiana, and died in Providence, Rhode Island. Along the way, Earle married Helen Breeden (Seidensticker) Hedrick of Connecticut, and together had nine children. Most of their children were born in Columbia, Missouri, but the family relocated to Los Angeles, California by 1930. Helen Breeden (Hedrick) Rieger (1903-1982), one of their daughters, married Wray Montgomery Rieger (1902-1975) of Kirksville, Missouri. Both Helen and Wray lived in Kirksville. Wray’s father was James Rieger (1870-1951), who was a decorated World War I veteran. The Missouri National Guard Armory in Kirksville is named after James Rieger.
