BLANCHE ROSE BRADSHAW 

MONOXIDE POISON IN CAR IS FATAL TO MRS. ELISHA BRADSHAW 

   Mrs. Blanche Rose Bradshaw, widow of the late Rev. Elisha Bradshaw a highly 
esteemed Isle of Wight citizen and former pastor of Mr. Carmel Christian 
Church at Walters, died of a heart attack at Raiford Memorial Hospital Sunday 
afternoon presumably super-induced by monoxide gas poisoning while riding with 
her son, Lloyd Bradshaw, near Franklin.  It was stated that the driver first 
noticed the presence of monoxide gas in the car when his dog became sick. 
Removing the animal to the luggage carrier of the car, he then saw that his 
mother appeared ill, while his son, Lloyd Bradshaw, Jr., was quite limp. 
Stopping two autos, he sent his mother, wife and son to the hospital here and 
was later treated at the hospital himself, all members of the family with the 
exception of his mother being released in about two and one-half hours.

   Mrs. Bradshaw, who was 58 years of age, was the daughter of the late John 
R. and Mrs. Elizabeth Vaughan Rose of Isle of Wight, and is survived by four 
sons, Samuel and Lloyd, of Franklin and Elisha, Jr., and James C. Bradshaw of 
Norfolk; two daughters, Mrs. Shelton Carr of Norfolk and Mrs. Guy Holland of 
Baltimore; one grandchild, Lloyd Bradshaw, Jr., of Franklin; three brothers, 
three sisters and many other relatives.

   Funeral rites were conducted Tuesday afternoon at 3 o’clock at Mt. Carmel 
Christian Church, Rev. T. Fred Wright of Windsor, Dr. William T. Scott of 
Franklin and the Rev. Frank L. Rose, Jr., nephew of Mrs. Bradshaw, 
officiating.  Burial was made in Beaver Dam Church Cemetery.  The pallbearers 
were: W.E. Beale, Otis V. Joyner, Taylor Holland, Leanus Carr, Frank Johnson, 
Julian Carr, R.T. Bowden and Charlie Bland.  Honorary bearers were nephews of 
Mrs. Bradshaw.
