He then entered the employ of Henry Comstock, undertaker and furniture dealer. In association with Messrs. Breed, Aldrich and Johnson, he conducted a business for five years under the firm name E. G. Partridge and Company, later selling his interest to his partners. For two years he was associated in business with Theodore F. VanDusen, after which he conducted the business alone, later associating with his son under the present name of E. G. Partridge & Son at 3 West Fourth street. His place of business was for many years at the corner of West Second and Cherry streets and in the Ellicott building. He was a 32d degree Mason, a member of Mt. Moriah Lodge, F. & A. M., Western Sun chapter, R. A. M., Jamestown commandery, Knights Templar, Jamestown Council, R. & S. M., the Scottish Rite and the Mystic Shrine. He was also a member of the First Congregational church and Jamestown lodge, B. P. O. Elks. Mr. Partridge first married Althea Chase Merrill at Maywood, Ill., who died May 28, 1884. The children of this marriage were the late George H. Partridge, Albert G. Partridge and Louis M. Partridge. He married a second time, Florence Anne Clement. To this union was born Miss Genevieve S. Partridge, now residing at the family home. Mr. Partridge represented the best in undertaking work since 1873. He was a most kindly man, possessed of a fine personality which endeared him to a wide circle professionally as well as winning for him a large circle of friends. His ministry in the homes of sorrow for over 50 years will long linger in the hearts of the many who came to know him. The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon.∼---------------
