"William H. Bridgman was born in Lebanon, New Hampshire in 1812. He moved to Boston at age twelve and was employed as a clerk. He moved to the new town of Lawrence in 1847. He ran a grocery business on the first story of "Bridgeman Hall" which at the time was the only hall in the town. He later went into the grain and flour business and finally finished in the retail clothing line. He married four times; the first three were sisters, Sarah, Almira, and Sophie, who all died within a year of each other and all of 37 years of age. He died April 14, 1874. His fourth wife, Martha, survived him."
