GEORGE R. BRADLEY

Long Time Resident of Oxford, Prominent in Religious Work, Died at Scranton

   George R. Bradley died at the Scranton Private Hospital, Friday evening, June 11, 1926.

   Mr. Bradley was born October 11, 1855, in Painted Post.  While young, he moved to Chenango county.  His early manhood was spent in Pharsalia, Plymouth and Oxford.  In 1881 he married to Mary Adelia Brizse of Norwich.  Mr. and Mrs. Bradley after living in Norwich for six years moved to Oxford where for about forty years Mr. Bradley has made his home.  Five years ago next November, Mrs. Bradley died.  After a few months Mr. Bradley sold his farm to Linn Davis and went to make his home with Mrs. Irving J. Beckwith, his daughter, at Olyphant, Pa.

   The past few summers Mr. Bradley spent a considerable time with Oxford friends amidst the old scenes.

   The last three winters he spent in Lemon City, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida.  Since his return to Olyphant, Pa., early in April he had shown signs of decline and had been receiving medical attention.

   Mr. Bradley was buried from the Oxford Baptist church on Tuesday afternoon, Rev. R. A. Gates of Port Dickinson officiating.  A great many of Mr. Bradley's friends and neighbors were present as a mark of respect for the deceased.

   For many years he was superintendent of the Baptist Sunday School which he served with faithful and active diligence.  He was also deacon for a long period.
 
   Beside the daughter three grandchildren survive him, Bradley Vincent, Rodney Irving and Stanley Wilson Beckwith.
