Hello, I am not a Bridges or Carroll relative, but I do have information on Irena Jane
Carroll and her marriage to Joseph Carter Bridges. One of their sons was my father's
best friend for life. They are now all deceased, but I do not believe that any of their
sons is interested in genealogy, so will try to help you as I can.
First let me state that I post my provable information on
findagrave.com. As a result,
you will see some numbers on many of these persons. Those numbers are their ID numbers on
findagrave.com (FAG).
Joseph Carter Bridges born 30 Jun 1873 is buried at Mount View Cemetery - 45775338
as is his wife Irena Jane Carroll Bridges born 03 Jul 1879 - 45775342
Julia Bridges born 10/13/1899 is buried at Mount View Cemetery in Polk County, Missouri -
45775570
Theodore William Bridges born 09 Oct 1901 is buried at the same cemetery - 43820837
John Henry Bridges born 16 Jul 1904 died 12 Apr 1988, Santa Paula, Ventura, California,
USA - have not found his burial yet, but working on it.
Curtis Benjamin Bridges born 18 Feb 1907 died 13 Apr 1978, Yuba City, Sutter, California,
USA - burial location unknown.
Logan Alford Bridges born 23 Dec 1910 died 23 Mar 1974, buried at Mount View Cemetery -
45476191
Ernest Franklin Bridges born 14 Aug 1912 died 07 Apr 2006 buried at Mount View - 45476827
Everest F Bridges born 1913 - no other information available
Leona Letha Bridges born 1916 - no other information available
Melva R Bridges born 1918 - no other information available
Eslua G Bridges born 1918 - no other information available
Melbie Ray Bridges born - 25 Jul 1918 died 06 Apr 2009 Overland Park, Kansas buried
Greenwood Cemetery, Bolivar, Polk County, Missouri - 43698327
Elvie Fay Bridges born 25 Jul 1918 died 20 Jan 2003, Santa Paula, Ventura, California
(burial location unknown) 43312859 (three surviving sons - info in obit on FAG)
Jaunita Bridges born 1921 (last of the line). It is my understand she lives here in
Bolivar, but at this time I have not reached out to her. I should soon, or she will be
gone too. When I knew Juanita, her married name was either Satterfield or Sutterfield and
they lived in Santa Paula. I have found her here in Bolivar with the last name of Seiner,
but that marriage was performed in 1941, so I am unsure what that means. She might have
divorced the Satterfield, and returned to Bolivar reassuming her first married name, but
that is speculation on my part at this time.
I knew the last three children, Elvie and his wife Oneita and their children quite well.
Elvie was my father's best friend. If you will further check the FAG memorials, you
will find all the information I know of relating to this family.
I hope this information helps you. If you are able to answer any of the questions I have
posed here, please do so. I would welcome additional information even though they are not
my family, as my father grew up with them. I forgot to tell you that all of the children
were born in Polk County Missouri. I did not state that individually as it was the same
for all.
Jan
