Author: Luther A. Ingersoll, Editor (1893)

H. L. BRADFORD, editor and publisher of the Monterey Cypress, was born in the
city of San Francisco, June 28, 1851, and is therefore one of the first native
sons born to white parents in this State. His early years were spent in the city
of his birth, where he received a liberal education. In 1875 he took up the
study of law, which he practiced in Stanislaus and Mono counties until 1880,
when he started the Modesto Strawbuck, a German paper, which was successfully
published for a number of years. Subsequently he published the Modesto
Republican, Modesto Free Press, the Interior Press and California Railroad Journal.

  In 1881 Mr. Bradford was wedded to Miss Mary Eva Roehrig, daughter of Philip
Roehrig, of Modesto. Mrs. Bradford was born in Wayne county, New York, and came
to California with her parents in 1868. The issue of this marriage is Carmen
Bradford, a girl nine years of age; and Lafayette Harrison Bradford, aged four
years.

  In 1888, Mr. Bradford, at the solicitation of several business men of
Monterey, came to the old capital and established the Monterey Cypress, which
paper he still owns, although he devotes the most of his attention to the
practice of law.

  The subject of this sketch traces his ancestry back to the landing of the
Mayflower, his father, Judge H. C. Bradford, being a descendant of William
Bradford, a passenger on that historic vessel.
