All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ************************************************ BRADLEY, SUSAN (11 May 1911, Erick Altruist, Erick, Beckham Co, OK): Died. Mrs. S. L. Bradley died at her home in southeast Erick last Thursday, after having been an invalid for several months. She was born in Tennessee about 70 years ago; was married when a young woman to Mr. S. L. Bradley and moved to Neosho, Mo., where she lived until six years ago, her husband having died in the meantime. For about four years Mrs. Bradley lived at Erick, during which time she won the love and esteem of all with whom she came in contact. About two years ago, Mrs. Bradley returned to her girlhood home in Tennessee, intending to spend the balance of her life there, but she contracted bronchial trouble there and moved back again to the higher altitude of Erick about the first of this year, but the disease had made such headway that her constitution, enfeebled by age, could not overcome it. Mrs. Bradley had been a consistent member of the Christina church for a number of years, and her passing was as her life had been sweet and peaceful. She is survived by two sisters in Tennessee, her brother in law, Mr. Dick Bradley, her niece, Miss Bessie Bradley of Erick, and her nephew, Mr. Joe Bradley of Sweetwater. Her remains were taken to Neosha, Missouri, last Friday for burial beside her husband, Mr. Dick Bradley, Miss Bessie Bradley and Mr. Joe Bradley accompanied her remains to Missouri.
