Notes for: Mary Idonia Bridger

They did not have any children. At the death of Emma Shefield Bridger, the first wife of John Henry Bridger, they took Ellie May, who at that time was a very young child, and raised her as their own. Almost all of the information on John H. Bridger has come from conversations between Ellie May and James Melvin Bodine. As of the mid 1990's, she lived between Marshall and Carthage, Texas where she drives and goes about as she pleases.
