Died – At the home of her parents, on Monday, June 13th, 1887, of consumption. Carrie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Green Bridges, aged 17 yrs., 8 months and 21 days.
The deceased was born and raised in Jasper county. Last December she contracted a severe cold, which settled on her lungs. From her infancy she had never been very strong, and her frail constitution soon began to break down, and it became apparent that consumption, that dread foe, had selected her for another of its victims. The last month of her illness was attended with great suffering, but she bore all with Christian patience and fortitude, and when the end came she was ready, and even welcomed the summons which called her to rest. The funeral services were held at the family residence, on Tuesday afternoon, at three o’clock, conducted by Rev. D. Brown.
The sympathy of all go out to these afflicted parents who it seems have already drank of the bitter cup of sorrow even to its very dregs. May they seek consolation from the only source which can give it – the Savior in whom Carrie trusted so implicitly.
