JOEL D. BRADSHAW

  Mr. Joel Bradshaw, a well-known resident of Isle of Wight County, near 
Franklin, died on May 2, 1916, in his 65th year, the cause of his death 
being a bronchial trouble from which he had suffered more than twenty years, 
together with other complications.*  He was a successful lumberman and farmer, 
a man of good judgment and he had earned the respect and esteem of a wide 
circle of friends and acquaintances.  It was peculiarly distressing that 
only a few weeks ago, his beautiful country home was destroyed by fire and 
this loss undoubtedly hastened the end.

  He was a man of exemplary character, a kind and generous husband and father 
and a good neighbor to those about him.  He is survived by four sons, Dr. 
T.G. Bradshaw of Walters, J.C. Bradshaw of Carrsville, Wilbur V. Bradshaw of 
Norfolk and Robert Lee Bradshaw of Isle of Wight; two daughters, Misses Annie 
and Evie Bradshaw of Isle of Wight; a brother, Mr. Jacob T. Bradshaw, and 
four sisters, Miss Mary Bradshaw, Mrs. Martha Bradshaw, Mrs. Etta Howell, 
Mrs. Jennie Howell and Mrs. Sarah Lankford.  The funeral services were held 
from Beaver Dam Baptist Church Mary 3, by Rev. H.H. Butler of Suffolk, 
assisted by Rev. G.C. Duncan of Beaver Dam.  The pallbearers were his four 
sons and Dr. C.J. Bradshaw, Paul and John Howell, Ralph Lankford and Walter 
Garris.  The interment was made in the churchyard cemetery by the side of his 
wife, who preceded him to the grave about thirteen years ago.
