BRADLEY.

  John M. Bradley died at his home, 329 Willis avenue yesterday morning 
at 9:30 o'clock of uremic poisoning.  While not in the best of health 
for some time, he was able to be about and attend to his duties as a 
car inspector for the Pennsy.  He went to work on Monday morning but 
became ill and gradually grew worse until death came.  He was a native 
of Huntingdon county and was born Feb. 2, 1861.  He was a resident of 
Altoona for many years.  He had been connected with the city police 
force for about fifteen years, first as patrol driver and later as 
special officer, being the first special officer to be added to the 
force.  It was toward the later part of Mayor Walker's administration 
that he was forced to give up his duties on the force because of 
failing health.  Since that time he has been employed as his health 
would permit, recently working as car inspector.  Mr. Bradley is 
survived by his widow who prior to her marriage was Martha Emma 
Turnbaugh, and the following children: Mrs. Fred Hill and Luther B. 
Bradley, both of Altoona, and Ester, Verna and Margaret, all at home.  
Three sisters also survive, Mrs. Elizabeth Galbraith of Bellwood, Mrs. 
Kate Miller of Jersey Shore and Mrs. Anna Yenter of Huntingdon.  A. J. 
Bradley, the engineer on the Pittsburgh division who was recently 
killed while on duty was a brother.  He was a member of the Fourth 
Lutheran church and Mountain City lodge of the I.O.O.F.
  The funeral will be held from the home of his daughter at 227 Willow 
avenue on Friday afternoon at 2.30 o'clock.  Interment in Rose Hill 
cemetery.
