The many friends of Mrs. Victor
Bridges will be deeply grieved to
learn of her death at heb home early
Monday morning. For the past six
months Mrs. Bridges had been in
failing health, and in July she under
went a critical operation at Bluehill
Memorial hospital. For a time it
seemed that she was gaining but as
fall advanced she began to fail. AL
though of a retiring disposition, Mrs.
Bridges had made many friends and
the going out of her life, leaves a
void that will be hard to fill.
Especially among the summer colony
will the loss of this dear one be felt.
Hers was a generous life, always do
ing for someone, and not only was 1t
pleasure but great privilege to
visit her and enjoy the hospitality
she was always so ready to give in
her home. Her death is especially
hard upon Mr.. Bridges, who has been
her constant attendant. Services
were held at the home Wednesday
afternoon, Rev. G. L. Cronkhite of
the Baptist church officiating. The
house was filled with relatives and
friends. To her husband and to all to
whom her death was such loss the
sympathy of the community Is ex-
tended. The beautiful and numerous
Floral tributes bore their token of
love and respect to dear friend.
