Frank Orlando Bridgman was born in West Hampton, Mass., June 13, 1852, and died near Friend, Neb., January 14, 1904, aged 51 years, 7 months and 1 day.
He was of Puritan parentage and inherited many excellent qualities of that superior people. Not only did he inherit the excellent qualities above mentioned, but he practiced them in his daily life, before his family, his friends and his neighbors.
The subject of this sketch was married in West Hampton, Mass., February 21, 1876, to Ella Lucinda Reed, and the next day, February 22, Washington's birthday, with hearts foll of love and courage, these young people set their faces towards the western horizon, moving on and on until they reached the broad prairies of Fillmore county, Nebraska, where they purchased for themselves their present homestead.
The little sod house in 1882 gave way to a more commodious dwelling which in 1902 was changed into the preset comfortable modern farm residence. To Mr. and Mrs. Bridgman were born four children, Harriet Clark, Chester Dwight, Lena Maude and Addie Esther, all of whom except Addie Esther survive their father. Besides his wife and children, Mr. Bridgman leaves a brother, and sister Fred Dwight and Addie Statira, both of West Hampton, Mass., together with an unusually large circle of friends to mourn his loss.
In his early boyhood, Mr. Bridgman confessed his faith in Christ and became a communicant of the Congregational church and ever since has been a faithful consistent member of the same. He was elected deacon of the First Congregational church of this city in 1895 and continually held this important position up to the time of his death. In Mr. Bridgman, the family loses a tender, loving Christian husband and father; the community one of its most esteemed and respected citizens, and the church one of its most honored members and wisest counselors.
The funeral text was taken from Second Samuel 3:38, "Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Isreal?"
The funeral services were held from the home, Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. C.H. Beaver of the Congregational church officiating.
