Mrs. Ritchies (sic) Passes Away Saturday
The death of Mrs. Edith Dorothy Ritchie, wife of Will Ritch (sic), in San Francisco on last Saturday morning was a severe shock to the community and a still harder blow to her beloved husband. Her health since the birth of her daughter, Edith Romer Ritchie, a few months ago, has not been the best and she was in St. Francis hospital suffering with bronchitis which subsequently developed into the dread Spanish influenza. Everything possible was done to help her but her time had come.
The funeral services were held here on Monday afternoon and the remains were cremated in Mt. Olivet cemetery. The deceased was a native of California, aged 23 years and was the daughter of Mrs. Edith Scott Burritt and sister of Bruce C. and G;. S. Basford and Rolant Burritt.
She has been a resident of Sausalito for many years and has many warm friends and acquaintances who extend their sympathy to her beloved husband and family in their house of sorrow.
