General Notes: Husband - Jacob W. Hege

---

He was educated in the public schools, and at the Lititz Academy, in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. After completing his education he returned to the old Hege homestead where he then resided.

In 1881 he, with a number of others, organized a creamery association in Williamson, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, and through the united efforts of all concerned it became a prosperous association, this being the first creamery in Franklin County. He filled the office of director, and part of the time was secretary of the association. In the year 1896 he, with others, organized a Co-operative Creamery Association in Williamson, known as the Williamson Farmers Co-operative Creamery Association. He came to be elected a director, and also treasurer of the same. This association was long in a prosperous and successful condition. During the year 1894, in company with three others, Mr. Hege organized a stone crusher company. In 1902 the Citizens' National Bank of Greencastle was organized, and at that time he was elected one of its directors; one year afterward it became necessary for a vice-president to be elected, and he was chosen.
In August, 1892, Mr. Hege was ordained by Bishop J. N. Brubaker, of Mt. Joy, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, to the office of minister of the Mennonite Church, and was engaged in active service in the ministry until September, 1902, when, through difficulties, he severed his connection with the church. After due and proper consideration he and his wife united with St. Luke's Evangelical Lutheran Church, of Williamson, on Dec. 18, 1904. He came to fill the office of elder in this church, to which position he was elected Feb. 26, 1905. He was vice-president of the church council, and was an active and efficient officer. He was a consistent and consecrated member of the church, and was an earnest Sunday-school worker.
