HIRAM ALLEN BRADSHAW, a prominent citizen of Clinton township, Boone county, Ind., and the present efficient post-master of Elizaville, is a native of Indiana, born in the county of Boone, one mile north of Lebanon, on the 26th day of May, 1857.
His father, David Bradshaw, was born October 15, 1802, in Kentucky, and died in the state of Arkansas on the first day of July, 1876. David Bradshaw was one of the early pioneers of Boone county, moving to that part of Indiana from Ohio, in company with his father, when the country was in a wilderness state, and afterward purchased eighty acres of government land near the town of Lebanon, which he subsequently sold and purchased other lands — first a farm of eighty acres on Brown's Wonder, and, later, a fine piece of 160 acres on Eagle Creek in the township of Marion. He was married November 12, 1835, to Rebecca Sims, daughter of Stephen and Elizabeth Sims, and reared a family of eleven children, whose names and dates of birth are as follows: Elizabeth A., August 8, 1839; Robert A.,, August 19; 1841; Minerva C., August 15, 1843; Stephen S.,, January 3, 1845; Mary E.,, July 21, 1847; Martha L. A.,, January, 1849; John L.,, June 17, 1851; Charlotte L.,, December 10, 1853; James N.,, November 27, 1855, and Hiram A., and Horace G.,, twins, May 26, 1857.
Hiram Allen Bradshaw was reared to agricultural pursuits and spent his youth and early manhood on a farm near Elizaville, to which part of the county he was taken when nine years of age. Later, he went to Arkansas, in which state he resided until 1877, in the spring of which year he returned to Indiana and accepted a position in the goods business with L. P. Hopkins of Elizaville, in whose employ he continued until 1883, at which time he became clerk in the grocery house of R. M. Richey & Co., continuing in the latter capacity for a period of about six and a half years. In June, 1889, he effected a co-partnership in the mercantile business at Elizaville with F. T. Carr, with whom he is still associated, and the firm thus constituted does a large and prosperous business, being one of the best known establishments of the kind in the county. Mr. Bradshaw is an energetic man and progressive in all the term implies. As a financier he has displayed ability of a high order, and his judgment on matters of business policy is frequently consulted and seldom found to be in error. Like many of the successful self-made men of the time, Mr. Bradshaw's early life was beset with numerous difficulties, not the least of which was the responsibility thrown upon him while a mere youth, owing to a serious accident which rendered his father a cripple. His life has been one of great activity, and in many respects he has solved the problem of success and is entitled to mention in these pages as one of Boone county's most intelligent and enterprising business men. Politically he wields an influence for the republican party, and while not a partisan in the sense of seeking official preferment, he has been complimented with positions of honor and trust at different times by his fellow-citizens.
On the second day of May, 1880, at Elizaville, was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Bradshaw and ,Louisa J. Beard, — the latter a native of Boone county, where her birth occurred on the 5th day of May, 1855. This union has been blessed by the birth of the following children, namely — Adrian E.,, born August 29, 1881, died March 4, 1882; Addison S.,, born January 4, 1882; Nora A.,, born September 28, 1883; Grace B.,, born January 28, 1886; Noble,, born January 10, 1889; Ralph,, born March 16, 1892, and Alfie,, born April 6, 1894.
William A. Beard,, father of Mrs. Bradshaw, was born in Boone county, Ind. , February 22, 1830, and for a number of years was engaged in the manufacture and sale of lumber. He married Margaret Payton, whose birth occurred November 16, 1841, emigrated to Missouri prior to the late Civil war, in which struggle he bore a part in defense of the national Union, and subsequently returned to Indiana, where the remaining years of his life were passed, dying at Elizaville in 1874.
