Ionia Daily Sentinel – 2 November 1919
George W. Bradford, an old time resident of Easton, died at his farm home on 
Saturday, at the age of 76 years.  He had been in fairly good health, though 
failing a little until about two weeks ago, when he suffered a stroke of 
apoplexy, from which he never recovered.  He leaves besides his wife, four 
children, Mrs. Eugene Rowley of Ionia, Mrs. Grace Lillie, of Grand Rapids, 
Howard S. Bradford of Grand Rapids and Arthur Bradford, who has made his home 
on his father’s farm.  There are also eight grandchildren, and two great 
grandchildren.  Mrs. Caroline Wandel of Orleans is a sister of Geo. Bradford, 
and William Bradford of Ionia, his brother.

Mr. Bradford was a member of the 1st Michigan Light Artillery, Co. M. during 
the Civil war, and went through the conflict without wounds or injuries.  His 
life was unusual in the fact that he spent nearly all of it on the same farm.  
His people bought the land from the government when they came to this part of 
the county and he was about one years old, and he occupied that piece of land 
ever since.  A very unusual record to live in one place seventy-five years.

The funeral for Mr. Bradford will be held at the farm home in Easton, on 
Tuesday at two o’clock.  Rev. E. E. Branch will officiate and interment will 
be in Easton cemetery.
