Ridley - Bill
Source: Crawfordsville Daily Journal Saturday, 13 May 1893
Bill Ridley, the well known colored character, died last night at Bill Robb’s place on North Green Street. He had been a sufferer of consumption for some time and his death was not unexpected. He will be buried tomorrow. Poor old Bill was never overly bright and for years he had been the butt of practical jokes and rough pranks. He bore his burden with a laugh, however, and even poor Ridley shall see better days.
