Son of Thomas Bridges and Sarah K. (Roper) Bridges and husband of Mary Ann (Brady) Bridges.
The Macon County Citizen - Oglethorpe, Ga. June 11, 1909
The many friends of Benjamin Bridges, who lived near Oglethorpe, were shocked to learn of his death, which occurred at his home Tuesday, very suddenly. The old gentleman had been in very good health for one of his years, and was coming from his garden Tuesday when he was seen to stagger and fall, dying in a few minutes.
Only a short time ago his faithful wife preceded him in death. Now he goes to join her in the better land. Mr. Bridges was one of the best citizens of the county and his influence for good will be missed. He was deeply pious and a faithful member of the Methodist Church and the Order of Masons. He lived to a ripe old age and established a character that rang true as pure gold and will live after he has gone. He left no children, but his death is mourned by many relatives and friends.
[Note: Benjamin Bridges - Born June 20, 1829 - Died June 8, 1909 is buried in Brady Family Cemetery beside his wife, Mary A. (Brady) Bridges [Oct. 27, 1841 - May 18, 1909].
