J. B.BRADFORD DEAD

    An Old Citizen Finds Relief in Death Tuesday Morning

James B. Bradford, aged 87, died Tuesday morning at his country home 4
miles south of this city.  His death was due to old age.
He had been confined to his bedfor more than two months, but has for
eight years been very feeble.
Mr. Bradford was born in Virginia, but came here from Ohio in 1843, and
has lived on the same place in this county since 1840.
His religious life began when he was a very young man, at which time he
joined the M.E. church, and has since that time been a faithful and
untiring worker in the cause of good.
Mr. Bradford has been married twice, his first wife having preceded him
to the great beyond.  To the first union six children were born, three of
whom are living:  Mrs. Clara Palmer, living in Dodds Twp.; J.W.
and B.M. Bradford, sons, the former living in Dodds Twp. the latter in
Mt. Vernon.  No children were born to bless the second union.
The funeral will be held at Bethel church at 10 o'clock Wednesday
morning, followed by interment at the Pace cemetery.  The funeral service
will be conducted by Rev. W. A.Browder.
