Died, at his home in Edgemont, S, D.,
on Friday, Nov. 20, at 2 30 p.m., Geo. A.
Walbridge, aged 42 years, 5 months and
20 days. He was born in Waterloo, Wis.,
in 1866 and came to Nebraska in 1887,
settling upon a homestead in the northern
part of Box Butte county, where he re
sided for several years, later earning to the
Niobrara valley. He was married Dec.
20, 1903 to Mfss Kate Richie of Marsland,
to whom was born one child now three
years old. Mr. Walbridge was a faithful
employe of the B. & M. railroad and

resting place in Marsland cemetery, where,
as the sun sank low in the west, they were
lowered into the bosom of mother earth,
with a wealth of dowers upon his casket.
The wife and little daughter and the aged
mother and brothers and sisters, who re
side at too great a distance to be present,
all have the deepest sympathy of a laige
circle of friends.
