Georgia Enterprise, Jan. 24, 1895
REV. J. N. BRADSHAW HAS BEEN CALLED HOME
  On Monday, Jan. 21, 1895, at 3:45 a. m., Rev. John N. Bradshaw passed from
earth to heaven, at his home in Madison, Florida, surrounded by many of his
loved ones. Age 77 years. Doctor Bradshaw was well known to the people of 
this section and had friends all over Georgia and the Union who will lament his
death. He was Pastor of the Presbyterian church here for a long while and was
President of the Southern Masonic female college for many years, and as an
educator he had few equals in this country. As a man and a Minister of the 
Gospel he gave his strength his talent and his money to the cause of the 
blessed Master. He was a true and loyal Mason and one of the best, purest
and most charitable men that ever lived or died.
  He had raised a large family and his daughters are ladies of piety and 
culture, and his sons are men of popularity and high integrity. Two of his
daughters, Mrs. D. A. Thompson, who was by his side when he died, and Mrs.
J. J. Corley, have been residents of Covington for many years, and all of our 
people sympathize with them in their time of grief over the loss of their
dear father.
  Himself and noble wife had journeyed hand in hand together for nearly three 
score years having celebrated their golden wedding in Covington several years
ago. This loving and devoted wife survives him, and six children, four
daughters and two sons, many relatives and thousands of friends are left to
mourn in sorrow his departure.
  His body was brought to Covington where impressive funeral services were
held in the Presbyterian church, on Wednesday, conducted by Rev. Dr. Henry
Quigg, assisted by Rev. T. J. Swanson. The body was then carried to the 
family section in the city cemetery and buried with Masonic honors.
