They lived a much more simple lifestyle than either of their families, being good, hard-working, honest farm folk. They were much loved by both families & descendants. Clarence married Julia, who was the sister of Callie Frances Smith who married Clarence's brother John Richard "Dick" Hedrick, below. The Hedrick & Smith farms were just down the road from each other.

From the Heritage of Pittsylvania County, Virginia:
Clarence Irvin Hedrick - Julia Estelle Smith Hedrick
My grandparents on my mother's side of the family were Clarence Irvin Hedrick, son of Washington H. and Emma Williams Hedrick, who married Julia Estelle Smith, daughter of John Christopher and Louisa Wood Smith. Their families owned adjoining farms in the Museville community and owned quite a large amount of land.
Irvin & Estelle had 4 children. 1. One little girl died at birth. 2. Clarence Irvin Hedrick, Jr. married Zola McNeeley and they had one son. 3. Smith Walton married Pocahontas Oakes and they had one child. 4. Gladys Grammer Hedrick married Henry D. Shelton and they had 5 children. All the children have died but the descendants left are 8 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren and 11 great-great-grandchildren.
Grandpa and Grandma lived in the Museville community all their lives and were lifetime members of Museville Christian Church. The land on which the church stands was given by the Hedrick family. The remains of the old Museville school house is on the original Hedrick land. Three generations of the hedrick family rest in the church cemetery. All the grandchildren called him "Pa Irving". He always smoked a pipe and used Prince Albert smoking tobacco. If we had all those Prince Albert tobacco cans now they would be quite valuable as collector's items. He always carried a flip-top can of it in his shirt pocket. One of my brothers recently stated, "Wouldn't we love to have all those Prince Albert cans now."
Grandma always kept her preserve stand on her kitchen table filled with damson preserves and would give us a biscuit filled with the preserves when we went to visit her down on the farm. They later built a house up on what is now Museville Road. I treasure this preserve stand which she later gave me because of the memories that I have of it. For Christmas she always made red Jello and served it with home made whipped cream for desert. She also made an ambrosia of chopped oranges and coconut. She was a good cook and seamstress and taught my mother all these things which she in-turn taught me. Mama and Grandma quilted a lot in the winter time. I probably got my love for quilting from her and Mama. She crocheted and did embroidery work on scarves and pillow cases. She was very talented in all this. Grandma loved flowers and had a large variety of them. I can remember her giving me flowers to take to my teacher at school. All good things must come to an end and although my grandparents have long been deceased, I have such fond memories of them that will last a lifetime and I want to pass them on to my children and their children. It is a part of my heritage and as such, their heritage.
