CHANUTE TIMES, JUNE 22, 1900
James Bridges, after a long illness, died last Tuesday morning. Mr. Bridges came to our city but a few years ago, the picture of health and robust manhood. He was one of the last men in town who would be suspected of being so near to his grave. Mr. Bridges, by his genial, pleasant ways won many friends in our city. He leaves a wife and 3 small children. His remains were buried in Elmwood Wednesday afternoon. Funeral services were held at the residence of his brother, conductor George Bridges, the Oddfellows and Workman being in charge. An unusually large procession followed the remains to his final resting place.
