Lake Odessa Scrapbook - February 1889

Saturday morning the solemn clang of the Methodist church bell told that while 
the village had slept a soul had left the limits of Lake Odessa for its home in 
the Mysterious beyond. The spirit of Mrs.Orra Bradford had for several weeks 
stood at life's threshold as if the ties which bind us to earth would fain 
overcome vital decay. She was a sufferer of that dread decease, consumption. 
Orra Bradford, daughter of Adam and Eliza Cover was born in Savanah, Ohio, 
December 25, 1865.February 6, 188 she was united in marriage to Dr. E.M. 
Bradford at Dayton,Ohio. she came here last April with her parents, her husband 
coming here in August and who is now one of our practicing physicians of this 
place. She leaves a husband, her parents, three sisters and one brother with 
whom she has left the happy thought, she was a dutiful daughter, kind sister and 
a loving and cheerful wife, and always made home happy and bright. Her death has 
caused universal grief in the town the funeral was held at the M.E.Church 
Sabbath afternoon at 2 o'clock. A discourse was preached by F.P.Bennett, and the 
ceremonies were under the supervision of Funeral directors Haight and Ward.
