East Liverpool Crisis  23 Feb 1897  pg 8
Mrs. Scynthia, widow of the late Enoch Bradshaw, died February 22, at 7:15 
p.m., in her 79th year. About five years ago she was taken with asthma in a 
form which baffled all medical skill, but it was not until after a long battle 
with the fell destroyer that she finally succumbed.
	Mrs. Bradshaw was born September 23, 1818, on what is now called the 
McPherson farm, about three miles northwest of this city. Her ancestors 
immigrated to this country about the middle of the seventeenth century. She was 
the youngest of ten children, all of whom lived to the age of over 75 years. 
Her mother, Mrs. Nancy Riley, died at the age of 102. Deceased was married in 
1834 to James Logan, and removed to Jefferson City, MO. Returning to East 
Liverpool in 1838, she spent the remainder of her life in this city. Soon after 
their return to East Liverpool Mr. Logan died, and in 1845 Mrs. Logan became 
Mrs. Bradshaw.
	Deceased was the mother of thirteen children, eight of whom survive. 
They are – Mrs. Verlinda E. Hill, Cleveland; Mrs. Priscilla J. Bradford, 
Chicago; A.C. Bradshaw, Princess Anne, Md; J.R. Bradshaw, Rehoboth, Md; Laura 
M. Barth, East Liverpool; E.P. Bradshaw, Chicago; Ida O. Bradshaw, East 
Liverpool, and Lillie M. Arbuckle, Mt. Vernon, Ill. Her husband, Enoch 
Bradshaw, died January 21, 1891. Two sisters – Mrs. Ruth Ann Patton, of 
Greensburg, Pa., and Mrs. Rachel Hannan, aged 84 of Gallipolis, O., - survive.
	Mrs. Bradshaw lived in the house where she died, the old homestead at 
the corner of Broadway and Fourth streets – almost fifty years. The site of the 
old home was a part of the farm owned by her father – Matthew Riley, who, very 
early in the nineteeth century, was among the pioneers of this section. He was 
a soldier in the war of 1812. Mrs. Bradshaw’s grandfather, Joseph McKinnon, 
having been a scout under Mad Anthony Wayne. He was also present at the killing 
of Big Foot.
	Mrs. Bradshaw saw ground broken for East Liverpool’s first manufactory, 
the old Bennnett pottery. Her mind, clear to the last, was full of 
reminiscences of the olden time, and she loved to relate to her children 
legends and anecdotes of the early history of the city.
	During her long and active life she was probably present at the birth 
of more children than any other non-professional of her day. Although 
constantly engrossed with her own household affairs, she was never so busy or 
so weary with her own labors that she could not respond to the appeal of a 
neighbor in need. She espoused the Universalist faith, and was noted for the 
highest integrity and purity of character in all the relations of life.
	Being strongly opposed to all unnecessary display, she gave in advance 
strict orders that her funeral be as simple as possible, and that her burial be 
private. Among her last utterances were, “Those of my children who have done 
wrong, let them do better;” and a short time before her death, when something 
was suggested to give her relief, she said, “Let nature take its course.”
	The funeral, which will be private in compliance with the wishes of the 
deceased, will occur on Thursday. All friends who desire to view the remains 
may do so Wednesday between the hours of 2 and 5 and 7 and 9 p.m. The interment 
will be in Riverview cemetery.
