Marysville Daily Democrat November 30, 1892 Wednesday
DEATH OF MRS GIRDNER
The Estimable Lady Crosses the Dark River at an Unexpected Moment.
Mrs Verinda Girdner, beloved wife of Joseph Girdner, one of the earliest and best known 
residents of Sutter county, died very unexpectedly at the Ridge Home, in Sacramento 
yesterday afternoon about 1 o'clock. The lady had been suffering with a very painful 
disease for several months, and a few weeks ago she was brought from her home near 
Sutter City to Marysville and comfortably located at the New Western Hotel where she 
could receive closer attention from her physician. It was subsequently ascertained that 
her disease was of the nature to necessitate a delicate operation and for that purpose 
she was removed to Sacramento where the operation was performed about one week 
ago, and it was thought , very successfully. Her husband who had been constantly by 
her side during the trying ordeal returned to his home Monday evening and informed 
inquiring friends of her seemingly hopeful condition and when the sad news of her death 
arrived yesterday it was least expected and it was a severe shock to her family and friends. 
There is no lady in Sutter county who during her long residence there, enjoyed a larger 
circle of friends or was more universally esteemed than the deceased and her unexpected 
departure from this world will be mourned by them all. Deceased was a sister of Mr Geo E 
Brittan and besides a devoted husband and numerous relatives , she leaves a family of 
several sons and daughters, all of whom are grown - Mrs Geo Pratt, of Honcut being one of 
the daughters. The remains will arrive here on the 5 o'clock train this evening but the 
Democrat was unable to ascertain the time of the funeral for this issue.
