Bridgeman, Elizabeth Sullivan –
Mrs. James Bridgeman died at the hospital in Rochester last week Wednesday. Her condition had not been considered serious and the news came as a distinct shock to the family and friends.

She had made the trip alone to Rochester the Saturday before and the husband had just received a cheerful letter from her in which she told of her safe arrival and the plans for consultation and but a short time later the telegram telling of her death reached him.

Mr. Bridgeman, accompanied by J. H. Barber, left at once for Rochester and brought the body to Lenox.

Funeral services were held Monday at 10:00 'o'clock at St. Patrick’s Catholic church of Lenox. Requiem high mass was celebrated by Father Gaul, of Afton Special music and the sermon was rendered by her pastor, Father Henry Pouget. Interment was made in Calvary cemetery in this city.

Funeral services were held at the Catholic church in this city, Monday morning, conducted by Father Pouget.

The sympathy of many friends is extended to the husband and four little motherless children.
