The Glenwood post., 1909-07-10

Judge R. NJ. Hedden, well known all
over the state of Colorado and intimate
" acquainted with every resident Of
Glenwood Springs, celebrated the sev
enty.eighth anniversary of his birt
yesterday.
He was born in New York City, July
9, 1881, and for fifty-six years he lived
in the great city. He attended privat e
school until near twelve years of age,
when he entered upon the duties of LIE
to make his own way in the world.
From 1852 to 1865 he worked as book
keeper in the National Bank of Com
monwcalth of New York City. He
then entered the stock exchange AMI
made and lost money until the pane
of 1869, when he was hit hard and,
like many another man of that Day
faced Il cheerless world. From 1864 to
1888 he was auditor of the New Nofk
city department of charities and cor
rections and it was during this time
that he had many amusing experiences
while visiting the various institutions
in the departments.
He was united in marriage in 1901
and on one of his official visits to the
New York asylum, he was accompanied
by his wife and several friends. They
were going through one of the wards
when his wife noticed pin on the
floor and stopped to pick it up. Hardly
had she stopped over when an inmate
of the institution leaped over her as if
in game of leap frog. The affair wa
featured in Harper's next issue.
Mr.. Hedden's first wife died in 1883
and two years later he was married
again, the wedding taking place IN
April of 1887. He and his wife left
New York City and came to Glenwood
arriving here June 90, 1887. There
were NO railroads into Glenwood at that
time, but the construction crews were
at work and had the road completed q
