Death of Uncle George Ridley

Mr. G.W. Ridley, familiarly known as "Uncle George" died at his home in this 
town last Saturday evening at five o’clock. He had been in bad health for some 
time and his death was not wholly unexpected. On the morning of the day of his 
death, he was uptown transacting some business and in apparently as good health 
as usual. He must have died in less than five minutes as his wife had just left 
him sitting up and returning in that length of time found him dead.

Uncle George was a most excellent man, an affectionate husband, a loving father 
and a devout Christian. He was always kind and gentle to everybody, and had a 
pleasant word on every occasion. He had been a consistent member of the church 
from boyhood. He was seventy-one [years] of age and is survived by a wife and 
four children; Mrs. Carrie Wood, G.B., W.P., Owen Ridley. Memorial services 
were held in the Baptist church Sunday evening when several friends made talks 
eulogistic of his life and character.
