Yesterday morning, Tuesday, April 11 [1916] Mrs. Bridget F. Clayton died at her home in this city after a sickness extending over a year.

Early in life she moved with her family to Ohio and later to Applington, this state, where she was married to Henry Clayton on July 16th, 1872. Six children were born to this union, five of whom survive their mother. The family lived at West Bend for several years, but for many years have been one of the highly esteemed and respected families of this city. The husband preceded the deceased in death, having died March 31, 1900.
