This morning about half-past nine o'clock, George D. Ashbridge, who was in his 83d year, died at the Chester County Hospital. On Saturday last he had been taken there in the carriage of his physician, in order that he might receive better treatment for pneumonia, with which he was suffering, but his friends did not consider his case so serious as it proved, and his death this morning was somewhat surprising to them.

Mr. Ashbridge was in his early life a resident of East Goshen, owning the farm which is now the home of G. Pearson Cloud near Dutton's Mill but about forty years ago he sold the property and moved to West Chester, occupying for a time a house on Biddle street, west of High. Later he moved to West Miner street, where he lived a long time latterly boarding with the family of the tenant, Mrs. Jackson. He has one sister, the late wife of John R. Way, now of Oxford. A nephew, George R. Way, resides in Philadelphia, and a niece, Mrs. Charles C. Haines, lives near Doylestown, Bucks County.

Mr. Ashbridge was a Republican in politics, a man of mild disposition and kind to everyone. He had never married.
