DEATH.,OF MR8. H. M. BRADLEY.
This community was inexpressibly
saddened last Wednesday morning,
when it-became generally known that
Mrs. H. M. Bradley had died about
ten o'clock the previous evening at
her home in this city. Her sickness
and death tvere due 4o appendlcal
tAubles, which necessitated two
surgical operations.
Mrs. Bradley's maiden name' was
Queen Alice Sawyer. She was born
In Waterbury, Connecticut, on April
29th, 1882, but her girlhood days were
spent with her parents in New
York City. In that city she made
the acquaintance of Mr. Bradley, who
at that time, was a young physician
connected with the Health Depart
ment hospital -of New York city. On
October 3rd, 1901, 'she was united in
marriage with Dr. H. M. Bradley, at
the home of her parents, who then
resided In Brooklyn, and shortly
thereafter came to Manchester,
and has resided here ever since.
Two girls were born to them: Agnes,
who is nearly seven, and Loralne,
about six years of age. In addition
to her husband and their two daugh
ters, Mrs. Bradley Is survived by
her father, a brother, Mr. Roland
Sawyer, and a sister, Mrs. J. Free
man Marsten, both of New York City.
Mrs. Bradley was. a kindly woman,
of large intelligence and many ad
mirable traits of character.
With true womanly devotion she
left kindred and the home of her girl
hood, and came here with her hus
band to reside among strangers.
In her heart, and in her life work
as a wife she exemplified the senti
ments expressed by the Hebrew maid
en of old who said: "Whither thou
goest, I will go and where thou l6dg
est, I will lodge thy people shall
be my people, and thy. God my God
where thou dlest, I will die, and
there will I be burled.". But her
Manchester home was not long sur
rounded by strangers. Her good
humor and prepossessing manner
soon won hosts of friends, who wept
tears of sincere sorrow over her
bier last Sunday afternoon.
Mrs. Bradley was a member of the
local P. E. O. chapter, and also a
member of Orient Chapter No. 15,
Order of the Eastern Star, and, while
she delighted to mingle socially with
her friends and fraternal associates,
she found her greatest pleasure at
home with her husband and .children.
Some philosophers contend that It
Is best for people to die while yet
their fellows cheer while yet their
souls are radiant with -hope while
yet they are amid the successes and
victories of life while yet all who
may be looking on regret the loss.
Be that as It may, to try to be
lieve that it is true, sometimes helps
to mellow the edge of the almost un
bearable grief due to an untimely
death.
But the grief-stricken husband and
his two young daughters are en
titled -to more than ordinary sym
pathy. No one, however, who has
not occupied a similar position can
understand what it means to have
heart strings torn asunder during
such a week's death watch.
The funeral was held at thefam
ily home at 2:30 o'clock Sunday af
ternoon. Rev. J. F. Moore, pastor of
the Congregational church of this
city, preached the funeral sermon.
He spoke, consolingly of the immor
tality of love.
In the beautiful drama of ''Ion",
this Immortality of love is aptly il
lustrated. The young Greek, who
was about to yield up his life, was
asked by his Clemantha if they would
meet again, to which he replied: "I
have, asked that dreadful question of
the hills that look eternal, of the
clear streams that flow forever, pf
the stars among whose field of azure
my raised spirit ^has walked in glory.
All were dumb but as I gate on thy
living face, I feel there Is something
in the love that mantles through its
beauty that cannot wholly perish.
Yes, we shall meet again Clemantha.
The casket was walled around with
so many flowers that It almost seem
ed to rest upon a bed of roses.
The singers were Mrs. E. H. Hoyt,
Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Rann and Mr. E
B. Stiles. They sang Tennyson's
Crossing the Bar", "Lead Kindly
Light" and "Abide With Me."
The following gentlemen acted as
pall-bearers
:N R. A. Denton, B. -H.
Hruby, Burton Clark, Chas. A. Peter
son, W. H. Hutchinson, Joseph Hoag,
L. L. Hoyt and E. H. Hoyt.
A number from out of town at
tended the funeral, among which
were the following: Mrs.,J. C. Leg
gett, formerly Miss Genevieve Par
ker of this city, and Mrs. A. S. Stev
ens, both of Cuba, New York. Mrs.
J. Freeman Marsten of New York
city Mrs. M. H. Williston, who but
recently went to Sumner, Washing
ton Mr. Archie M. Parker and son
Herbert of Marshall town Mrs. E. T,
Alford of Waterloo Dr. J. R.Guthf

The Illinois Central railroa^l placed
twenty-five now steel passenger
coaches into service recently* and
will give them a thorough test." The
coaches w*ere manufactured by the
Pullman company and while they are
not as handsome as the. wooden
coaches, they are far better than the
old one on account of safety and util
ity. The chelf feature of this kind
of a car is that it is almost imposslbl
to wreck them and it insures pas
congers that they will not be tele
scoped iu a head-on collision, as has
been the case of. the coaches which
are chiefly composed of wood.
