G. G. RIDGWAY'S DEATH.
He Passes Peacefully Away Wednesday
Evening.

He Passes Peacefully Away Wednesday
Evening.
Mr.. Ridgway died Wednesday at 10
o'clock p. m. at the family residence,
three and one-half miles east of Ogal-
lab, of apoplexy. He was taken sud-
denly i'll Monday, and was conscious
until quarter hour before his death,
and recognized his family and other
friends who were at his bedside.
The news of his death was learned
with feeling of general sorrow
throughout the community, which
found expressions on every hand.
Mr.. Ridgway was one of the oldest
settlers of Trego county, having To-
Gated here in April, 1879, with his
family and has resided here contin-
ually since that time.
Perhaps no man in the county was
better or more favorably known than
Mr.. Ridgway, and hundreds of friends
will sincerely mourn his loss. As a
citizen he was public spirited, broad
minded and with very decided con-
VictionS on all matters of public in
terest. As a friend he was loyal and
on matters Of business his opinion
was very generally asked and needed
by his neighbors who considered him
wise counselor.
Mr.. Ridgway figured quite promi-
nently in the history Of Trego county
having been elected commissioner
from the First district in November,
1881, at which time he served three
years, and was again elected in No
vember, 1887, when he served another
term of three years; during large
part of the time he was hOnored with
the position Of chairman of the board,
and to his wisdom ard foresight the
prosperous condition of the public
affairs of Trego county to-day must be
largely attributed.
Mr.. RidgeWay was born in Adams
vile, Muskingum county, Ohio, on
September l. 1888, so that at the time
of his death he was 81 years, months
and 5 days old
In January, 1856, he was married to
with a family of four sons-Francis,
Charles, Samuel and BAIL and two
daughters Mrs. Seymour Cofey and
Mrs. William Clark survive him.
The children have grown to manhood
and womanhood in Trego county and
with the exception of Charles all live
near Ogallah.
At an early age Mr.. Ridgway and
his most estimable wife united with
the Methodist Episcopal church of
which organization they have cOntin-
ued consistent members.
The funeral services were held on
Friday at IL O'Clock a. m. in what is
known as the Ridgway school house,
after which the remains were inferred
in the Ogallah cemetery.
