      From THE LEIGH (NE.) WORLD, August 15, 1947-

      Announcement of the death of Mrs. Maggie Bridges which occurred in the Methodist hospital in Omaha was a shock to family and friends. Mrs. Bridges was ill only a short time and had been placed in the hospital on the preceding day. In recent months she had spent considerable time at Columbus helping to care for a sister-in-law, Mrs. Henry Mackenstadt. She had returned to the home of her son, Earl Bridges, a few days ago.

      The remains were brought to the Holmes Funeral Home, and funeral services were conducted from the farm home at 1:45 o’clock, to St. John’s Church at 2:30 o’clock. Rev. Gigstad chose for his text Psalms 147-3: He health the broken in heart and bindeth up their wounds. Favorite hymns, Rock of Ages and Abide With Me were sung by a quartet, Mrs. Herman Neuhaus, R.H. Olson, Norma Neuhaus, and J.B. Jenny.

      Six nephews served as pall bearers: Otto, Edward and Arthur Mackenstadt, Donald Maw, Elmer Oeltjen, and Glen Bridges. Floral pieces were carried by neighbors, Mrs. Maurice Dasenbrock, Mrs. Edward Ehlers, Mrs. Arnold Wendt, and Edna Grotelueschen. Interment was in the Leigh Cemeter

      Margaret Mackenstadt was a representative of one of the pioneer families of this community. The youngest daughter of Fred and Helena Mackenstadt, she was born southwest of Leigh in Platte County on April 24, 1882. She died in an Omaha hospital, August 8, 1947, at the age of 65 years, 3 months and 15 days. She was confirmed in St. Paul’s Lutheran Church and was married to Louis Bridges, October 17, 1916.

      They established their home on the Bridges farm 6 miles south of Leigh where Mr. and Mrs. Earl Bridges now reside. That has remained her home with the exception of brief visits among relatives in the Leigh and Columbus communities. Devoted to her home and to her family, Mrs. Bridges will be remembered as a good neighbor and loyal friend.

      She is survived by one daughter, Ruth, now Mrs. Edgar Wurdeman, and one son, Earl. There are two grandchildren. She also leaves one sister, Mrs. Anna Asche, of Cordova, Maryland, and two brothers Henry and Ben Mackenstadt, of Columbus. One sister, Anna and one brother, William preceded her in death.
