General Notes: Husband - John Bitner Hege


He was brought up on the old Hege homestead near Marion, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, and was educated in the public schools of Guilford township. He worked on his father's farm until he was twenty years of age, when he went to Chambersburg and took a position as clerk in a store. After a brief experience in this business, he took a course of instruction at the County Normal School to prepare for teaching, and then began a long and successful career as a teacher in Guilford township. He gave twenty-five years of his life to his profession, and for ten years he was principal of the graded school at Marion, and for many years he was one of the leaders and active workers in the Teachers Institute of Franklin County.
He was well-known all over the county as a writer on local subjects. He became a regular correspondent of Public Opinion in 1885. He also edited and published a work known as "Marion and its Environments." He preserved all his writings in carefully prepared and indexed scrap books, and are a rich mine for historians for the period they cover.
In politics he was a lifelong Republican. He served as a member of the Republican county committee, and frequently served on the election board of his district.
He and his wife were members of the Reformed church of Marion.
