1908 - 1970 (~ 72 years)
Generation: 1
1. | Jewel Thomas Hedrick was born between 1898 and 1908 in Oklahoma; died on 22 Nov 1970 in Corpus Christi, Nueces County, Texas. Notes:
This is appears to be his record on the Texas Death Index, incorrectly showing him as a Female. This is understandable based on his unusual first name.
Hedrick Jewel 11-22-1970 NUECES F WIDOWED
And here is the record on the SSDI:
JEWEL HEDRICK 13 Feb 1898 Nov 1970 78408 (Corpus Christi, Nueces, TX ) (none specified) 464-38-9111 Texas
It has not been confirmed that the records above are for the same Jewel Thomas Hedrick that married Clara Belle Gaines.
After divorcing Clara Gaines, it is possible that Jewel Hedrick remarried, and was living in Kiowa, Pittsburg County, Oklahoma, listed as being age 22. His wife, also age 22, was named Effie, and they had a 2 month old son, Junior. Also living with Jewel and his second wife were his parents, Frank and Mary Hedrick of Tennessee. At the time of the 1920 census, Frank and Mollie Hedrick can be found in Damon Twp, Latimer County, Oklahoma, along with three children, Larante, Olie and Jewel. That census listing, however, shows Jewel as born ca 1908 instead of 1898. This may have been simply an error in the transcription, but should be resolved. It is also possible there were two Jewel Hedrick's.
Jewel married Clara Belle Gaines before 1927. Clara (daughter of Albert Coats Gaines and Minnie Bell McLemore) was born on 9 Feb 1910 in Altus, Jackson County, Oklahoma; died on 20 Dec 1999 in Houston, Harris County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
