Obituary: After an illness of nigh onto 3 months, George W. Bradbury, 85, passed to his eternal reward on Thursday of last week at his home, northeast of Dresden. George Bradbury was one of the bravest men we ever knew. Despite age, failing eyesight and general feebleness incident to the weight of years, he did not give up. Not so many weeks since we saw him driving his team homeward as the evening shadows gathered. He was cheerful, genial and ever ready to succor those in distress. He was a devout christian gentleman and loved by a wide circle of friends who will miss his cordial greetings. Surviving are his faithful companion, who by the way, has returned to her former home at Caruthersville, Mo., and 6 children - 3 boys and 3 girls. Clarence, Bruce and Otis, Mrs. Bev Scott, McKenzie; Mrs. Claude Crews, Palmersville; and Miss Jennie at home. The funeral was conducted at the Bradbury Cemetery, Friday by Elders J.L. Thomas and Burdett, with interment there.
My files are a collection from many sources and many are not documented by me. Most relate to Weakley Co., TN in some way. Included are many Confederate and Union Veterans of the Civil War.
