OBITUARY. 
Dr. GEORGE BRIDGES. 
This most estimable man passed away yesterday at his 
home on Isaacs Street a little past the meridian hour. He 
was born in New York City, Nov. 1st, 1850. His parents 
d)dng in his early youth, he was sent to boarding school, and 
on arriving at age, ^embarked in business and went to Utah 
with a son of Brigham Young, but his love of animals, and 
especially the horse, led him to return to New York and 
enter the American Veterinary College. He came to Nor¬ 
walk six years ago and opened an office, just prior to his 
graduation. His thorough mastery of his profession and his 
deep and tender sympathy for a dumb animal in distress, with 
his honest, genial, personal attributes, at once opened up to 
him a wide and successful professional business. He was 
never strong and his exposure and devotion to his profession 
soon began to tell upon his health and strength. 
Early last year he became aware that consumption was 
thieatening his life and on the 8th ol last December he went 
to Aiken, S. C., and remained South till late this spring, when 
he returned home and to the devoted care of his wife and 
daughter. Here, fully conscious of his condition, he waited 
patiently and uncomplainingly the inevitable hour of his 
departure. Last fall he united with the First Congregational 
Church, with which his wife and daughter were already con¬ 
nected, and his religious faith and hope were his sure solace 
and support as he descended to the dark river of death, 011
