Mrs. O. E. Hedges, the organist, was my mother, Martha Helen (Royer) Hedges, married to Ora Elton Hedges; both were members of Community Methodist Church at the time. They lived in Arlington, VA where she taught piano in her home. Mrs. O. E. Hedges played the piano and organ in the Northern Virginia area for churches, weddings, etc., for many years until her passing in 1987.
