Obituary- Bradley, Ida

Mrs. Bradley Buried Monday
The people of Rossville were shocked and grieved Friday morning when the news was learned of the death of Mrs. J.C. Bradley which occurred at 6 o’clock Friday morning after an illness of fifteen days with influenza and pneumonia.
Up to the evening previous to her death reports of her condition were encouraging and her many friends were grieved to learn of the sudden change during the night.
The Bradley family have been residents of Rossville for so long and so prominently identified with the church and social life of the city, the community has felt more than ordinary interest in the progress of their return to health after both being confined to their homes with influenza.
Mrs. Bradley was the daughter of the late Dr. and Mrs. A.G. Magill, of Silver Lake. She was born at Tipton, Mo., March 24, 1865 and was 54 years, 11 months, and 11 days old when death claimed her. She came to Silver Lake with her parents in the year of 1878 where she lived until her marriage to Joseph C. Bradley, Nov. 24, 1886. Soon after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Bradley came to Rossville and have made this city their home since. When a girl Mrs. Bradley made a profession of her faith in our Lord and Savior, uniting with the Methodist Episcopal church. After coming to Rossville in 1887 she united by letter, with her husband, in the Presbyterian church living a consistent Christian life until her death.
She leaves to mourn her loss her husband, daughter, Mae, and husband Chas. D. Johnson of Topeka; two sisters, Mrs. C.L. Dolman of Topeka and Mrs. W.V. Hook of Rossville.
The funeral service was held at the home on south Main street Monday, March 8, at 2 o’clock, conducted by her pastor Rev J.W. Hart, who was assisted by Rev. Dr. S.B. Alderson and Rev. H.L. Nelson of Topeka. The ceremonies at the cemetery were conducted under the ritual of the Eastern Star of which Mrs. Bradley was a member. She was also a member of Purity Camp, R.N.A. of Rossville.
The banks and stores of Rossville closed for one hour—2 to 3 p.m. as a mark of respect to Mr. and Mrs. Bradley.
