Martin Eldridge
We are pained to announce the death of our esteemed citizen Martin Eldridge which took place in the state of New York on the afternoon of Monday last, where he was called to the bedside of a dying relative but a few days before.  The first intimation that our citizens had of their loss was the arrival of his remains by the morning train on Wednesday.  Mr. Eldridge was well and widely known throughout the county and it will be with sorrow that readers will learn his sudden demise.
