The Franklin Democrat, Friday, October 21, 1898, Volume XXXIX, Number 15, page 1, column 3
OBITUARY.

Elijah Bradley died at his late home in Green township, Morgan County, Oct. 10,
1898.  He was born in Larne 
[sic] County Ky., Feb. 13, 1829, and came to Indiana when about 17 years of age, and
has been a resident ever 
since.  He was married to Margaret Taggart Feb. 10, 1852.

His death was a great shock to his friends and neighbors, as but a few hours
previous to his death he 
chopped a load of wood and hauled it to the house.  He was a member of the Methodist
Protestant church at 
Bethel, where he loved to go so well.  He was a Master Mason, and his brother Masons
accompanied his 
remains to their last resting place.

He leaves a wife, seven children and twenty-seven grandchildren, who mourn his
departure.  He was a good 
man; a Christian in every sense of the word.  He will be greatly missed both by his
family and friends.  He was 
loved by all who knew him.  His age was 69 years, 7 months and 28 days.

The funeral services were conducted by Rev. B. Ensminger, assisted by Rev. J.
Gillaspy, at the Union M. P. 
church, and the body was laid to rest in the beautiful cemetery nearby to await the
resurrection morn.  
OMA BAKER.
