Atlanta Constitution,  3 October 1883
Poisoned By Mistake.
Columbus, Ga., October 2-
Mr. James A. Bradford, an aged and prominent citizen, died today from the 
effects of poison taken by mistake.  He had been taking tonic of gensing [sic] 
for sometime, and to-day before eating dinner, walked to the mantlepiece, where 
the bottle usually sat, and taking by mistake a small bottle containing a 
powerful neuralgia liniment, took a dose of it.  The mistake was soon 
discovered, physicians summoned and every possible effort was made to relieve 
himn, but without avail, and he died in about two hours after.  He was grand 
chaplain of the I. O. O. F. of the state, and treasurer of the board of 
trustees of the county asylum for the poor, also senior member of the firm of 
Bradford & Osborne, painters.  The funeral takes place from St. Luke's church 
to-morrow evening.
