During that time, Hedrich was chairman of the Rantoul Town Board and served on the Calumet County Board of Supervisors. He also served as school district clerk. In 1900, Hedrich moved to the Town of Holton, Marathon County, Wisconsin to a dairy farm near Dorchester, Wisconsin. He served as chairman of the Holton Town Board and on the Marathon County Board of Supervisors and was a Republican. In 1908, Hedrich retired. In 1917, Hedrich served in the Wisconsin State Assembly from Marathon County, Wisconsin.[1] He purchased a house in Abbotsford, Wisconsin[2] and died there.[3]
