Mrs. Catherine Bridges Died Last Saturday

Mrs. Emma Catherine Bridges, age 37, passed away at her home at Sears Chapel 
Saturday evening at seven o’ clock after a long illness.  The deceased, who 
before her marriage to Evie Davis Bridges, was Emma Catherine Miller, was 
born and reared in this county and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. 
Miller of Sears Chapel.  With the exception of a few years she has spent 
all of her life in the county.  She united with the Methodist church at 
Sears Chapel when only a young girl and remained true to the denomination 
throughout her lifetime. She left four children, Mary Ruth, Mable, Evie 
Davis, Jr., and a six month old baby; (1) her husband, her father and 
mother, three sisters and two brothers.  Funeral services were held from 
the Sears Chapel church Sunday afternoon at three o’clock with Rev. J. H. 
Roberts, pastor of the Rockford Methodist church, officiating and Service 
Funeral Home of Alexander City, directing.  Pall bearers were J. H. Fulmer, 
Roy Carden, W. L. Kilgore, Hannon McEwen, Sherill Hanna and Howell Hanna.
(2)  My father, Evie Davis Bridges, Jr., informed me that he remembered a 
Christmas catus red bloom laid on her bossom at the funeral.
