N.B. The Bridges cemetery is actually located in O'Fallon township on the West side of Hagemann Road. Four of the remaining stones in 1997 were vandalized. As of 2019, three of them have been repaired, thanks to the O'Fallon Historical Society's "cemetery detectives" with one stone being beyond repair. In addition, a cenotaph memorial was erected to George Benjamin Bridges, who may be buried in this cemetery as well, since he and his wife moved to William Bridges' residence shortly before George died in St. Clair county.
This George Bridges, a son of William and Margaret Bridges, tombstone had been missing for many years, but at the dedication of the cenotaph on Nov. 9, 2019, a foot marker was discovered buried in the ground with the initials of GB on it, presumably referring to George Bridges. It is pictured above.
