Joshua Taylor http://www.genrecords.net/emailregistry/vols/00006.html#0001358 July 4, 2005, 6:26 pm Arizona Republican-November 11 ,1901 Harry Bradshaw died about 11 o'clock yesterday forenoon at his home on the Black Canyon Road. He was a native of England and was born in Birmingham the same day that Queen Victoria was born, eighty three years ago, an event he often referred to and an incident he esteemed quite an honor. But Harry was a thorough American and came to this country a great many years ago. He was a soldier in the Union Army during the Civil War and was later stationed at Fort McDowell with the regular troops. "Uncle Harry" as he was familiarly called by those who knew him, has been a resident of Maricopa for thirty years so he is entitled to the appellation of "old timer". He was a little odd in his ways, owing, no doubt to the fact that he has no living relatives, so far as known and that he lived alone in his little ranch house. Though eccentric he has ever been a good citizen and one who bore the respect of his neighbors. His end came very suddenly though he has been ailing for two or three weeks. Yesterday morning he was able to be up and around the house, but before noon the messenger of death had summoned him to the final roll call. The funeral will be announced later and interment will be made in the G.A.R. cemetery.
