Emmon A. Bradley was born on the 26th day of December 1871, on the old Bradley homestead, within a mile of the farm which he made his own in early manhood and where he lived continuously until his death on April 22, 1941. Most of his schooling he had in the Spaulding schoolhouse in the same neighborhood.
Mr. Bradley was active in Grange work most of his life. He was the first member to be initiated into the Northwest Walton Grange after the re-organization of the Grange in 1900. The Grange recognized him as a Silver Star member.
In his earlier life he was active in the Ainger church. In the good old horse and buggy days he sang in the choir there and took his share in the other activities of the church.
A most noteworthy service he performed for Carmel township - he served as supervisor for the township for sixteen successive terms. This office was repeatedly given to him without any opposition, and he retired from it only after his final illness had laid hold on him.
He married Minnie Gae Chase, in Kalamo village, on the 6th day of November, 1895. Five children were born to them. One of them, Mrs. Floy Kellogg, of Olivet, is deceased. The other four children survive: Theron Bradley of Kalamo township. Mrs. Ruth Horn of Carmel township, Melvin Bradley of Battle Creek, and Werlin Bradley still at home. He is survived also by a brother, Vernor, who lives on the old homestead, and by two sisters, Mrs. John McConnell of Carmel township and Mrs. Charles Gorman of Ainger. There are five grandchildren among the survivors, several nieces and nephews, and a host of friends.
As this short notice indicates, he was a man of staunch character, a man of native ability, a man of deep sympathies and a keen sense of justice, always sincerely devoted to the welfare of his neighborhood.
He comes to his rest in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in its season.
Funeral services held at his home, 2:00 p.m. Friday, April 25.
Officiating minister, Mark G. Inghram of Olivet. Burial at Carmel Cemetery.
