The Bridegroom Who Couldn’t Marry
October 27, 2013 by staff
The Bridegroom Who Couldn’t Marry, Winamac, Indiana, is pretty much how it sounds.
Small — home to fewer than 2,500 people — rural, and it has more churches than libraries, schools and liquor stores.
About 20 minutes north is a similar town by the name of Knox. This is where Thomas Lee Bridegroom was born.

And just on the edge of Winamac — between West Main and West Adams — is a small cemetery by the name of Crown Hill. This is where he is buried.
He tripped and fell off of a roof while working. He was 29 years old.
In my 20-plus years as a journalist, I’ve written a lot about death. Thankfully, it hasn’t gotten easier. The stories still touch me, although some more than others. Bridegroom’s passing would be one of those.
