Joseph Baldridge, Former Resident, Dies at Western Home -

We are in receipt of a copy of the Navy Yard American, published at Charleston, Wash., in which is an account of the life of Joseph R. Baldridge, who passed away in that city recently. It follows:

"Joseph Riley Baldridge, age 61 years, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. R. G. Adams, at Charleston, Wash., early Tuesday morning, March 3rd, the direct cause of his death being hemorrhage of the brain. Funeral services were held at the Lewis Undertaking parlors, Bremerton, Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, Rev. C. R. Longbrake of the local Presbyterian church officiating. Interment was in the Charleston cemetery.

Mr. Baldridge, who is well known in Charleston from his connection with the bakery there, during the past four years and from his personal contact with the whole town, gave him a very large circle of friends. During the last year his health has been rapidly failing up until the time of his death. He was close to death's door June, 1913, and again in December of the same year; but through excellent medical attention and careful nursing he was able to tarry with friends and loved ones until last Tuesday.

Early Monday evening Mr. Baldridge prepared himself to attend a social function of the women of Woodcraft to be held at Odd Fellows' hall. His daughter, with whom he made his home, tried to persuade him not to go, as he had not been out evenings since his recent serious illness. But he assured her that he felt perfectly able to look after himself and desired to enjoy an evening with his lodge friends again. He had scarcely entered the hall when he was stricken. Kind friends carried him home on a litter. Dr. Taggart was immediately called, and did all in his power to alleviate pain and suffering. Mrs. Gowdy, professional nurse, made his last hours easy and helped soften the blow to the loved ones at the bedside. Despite all help and medical skill, he passed quietly away at 3:10 p.m. Tuesday.

Mr. Baldridge was born in Jefferson county, Ill., 61 years ago the 3th of last month. He spent most of his life in that country. Later living in Nance County, Nebraska, from which place he moved to Seattle six years ago and later coming to Charleston, where he engaged in the baker business, building the store now occupied by the bakery and printing office.

The deceased leaves to mourn his sudden departure three daughters and one son, his wife having gone before some fourteen years ago. Two daughters, Mrs. Katherine Keller and Mrs. Edyth McNeff, reside in Seattle; Mrs. Grace Adams in Charleston. Willis A. Baldridge, the son, who was called to the bedside in December, when Mr. Baldridge was so dangerously ill, lives at Fullerton, Nebr. Mr. Elmer E. Baldridge, a cousin, who had charge of the bakery, has made his home with the departed since early manhood, and the loss to him is like that of a brother. Mr. Baldridge is survived by five brothers and three sisters. One brother, Harvey A. Baldridge, resides in Seattle; another brother, Richard, at Fullerton, Nebr. The others are still living in Illinois."
