ILLNESS OF MRS. D. RIDGE IS FATAL
Mrs. Ella Ridge, wife of Darcy Ridge, and one of the best known women of Grass Valley, died about 1:30 this morning at the Jones Memorial Hospital, where she had been a patient for less than a week. An exploratory operation revealed a malignant condition, it was stated by the physician in charge. This condition had a fatal termination this morning.

THE untimely death of Mrs. Ella Ridge brings personal sorrow to many people and keen regrets that the life of a woman of such usefulness and effectiveness in community and civic work should be terminated. From her sick bed Mrs. Ridge directed the recent Harvest Festival in aid of the Grass Valley orphanages, its success, no doubt, weighing heavily upon her waning strength, but bringing no change in her cheerful attitude toward life and her unselfish desire to be of service. The 1928 festival was one of several directed by Mrs. Ridge, each with such notable success as to show her peculiar fitness for community work. In every endeavor in which she had part – and they were many, indeed – the gentle enthusiasm of Mrs. Ridge was an inspiration to her associates.
