   DANIEL MARCUS BRADLEY, M. D. Actively engaged in one of the more important
professions to which men devote their time and energies, Daniel Marcus Bradley,
M. D., of Waycross, is numbered among the rising young physicians of Ware
county, his skill in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases having gained for
him the confidence of the people, and an extensive patronage. He was born
November 7, 1884, in Liberty county, Georgia, which was likewise the birthplace
of his father, Daniel Milton Bradley, Sr.

   The doctor's great-grandfather was Ely Bradley. His grandfather, John S.
Bradley, came with his parents from South Carolina, his native state, to Georgia
when a child, locating in Liberty county. The country round about was then in
its virgin wildness, Indians being numerous, and often troublesome, and deer,
bear and wild turkey were plentiful, the pioneers of that day living largely on
wild game. There were neither railroads nor convenient markets near, the surplus
products of the farm being hauled many miles with teams. The pioneer women as
well as the men had to make good use of every minute of their time, carding,
spinning and weaving the homespun cloth, which they fashioned into garments for
the family, and the yarn from which they knit the stockings, in the meantime
doing all the cooking by the open fire. John S. Bradley succeeded to the
occupation of his father, and becoming a landholder was engaged in farming in
Liberty county until his death. The maiden name of his good wife was Jane Daniel.

   Born in Liberty county, Georgia, January 24, 1850, Daniel Milton Bradley,
Sr., there as a young man began his active career as a merchant, dealing in
general merchandise for several seasons. Moving to Tattnall county, Georgia, in
1889, he has since been there successfully engaged in mercantile business, being
one of the longest-established merchants of Hagan, and a citizen of prominence.
He married Janie Brewton, who was born February 28, 1859, in Bulloch county,
Georgia, a daughter of Simon and Matilda (Tippins) Brewton, natives respectively
of Bulloch county, Georgia, and of Tattnall county. Seven children were born of
their marriage, as follows: Rosamond N., John D., Bessie F., Daniel Marcus,
Janie C., Willie D., and Waldo.

   Being fitted for college in McRae, Georgia, Daniel Marcus Bradley, Jr.,
entered the medical department of the University of Georgia, at Augusta, and was
there graduated with the class of 1907. The following year Doctor Bradley was
engaged in the practice of his profession at Guyton, Georgia, where he gained
not only a fair share of practice, but experience of value. Coming from there to
Waycross in 1908, he is here making rapid strides in his professional career,
his wisdom and skill in dealing with difficult cases having placed him among the
physicians of repute in this locality. He takes an intelligent interest in
municipal affairs, and since 1910 has served as city health officer.

   Fraternally the doctor is a member of Waycross Lodge, No. 305, Ancient Free
and Accepted Order of Masons; of Waycross Chapter, No. 9, Royal Arch Masons; of
Damascus Commandery, No. 18, Knights Templar; and of Alee Temple, Ancient Arabic
Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine.

•     On August 17, 1910, Doctor Bradley was united in marriage with Mary
Gertrude, daughter of Chauncey G. and Mary Wallace (Moore) Costin, of Fender
county, North Carolina. She was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Major L. Moore at the
age of two years. They were formerly of Fender county, North Carolina, but now
Waycross, Georgia. The doctor and Mrs. Bradley have one child, Daniel Marcus
Bradley, third.
