PATRICK BRADLEY DEAD
One of the oldest citizens of this county passed away at Huron Wednesday morning.
Patrick Bradley died at the home of his son John Bradley at Huron yesterday morning. Mr Bradley was eighty-nine years of age and was to feeble to stand an attack of the grip which he contracted two weeks ago. The remains will be laid to rest in the Huron cemetery* this afternoon. Patrick Bradley settled in the Sunflower state forty years ago, and has always identified himself with the states best interests. He was one of the noblest men of Atchison county. He leaves three children, John Bradley , Charles E. Bradley, a prominent real estate man of St. Louis, and Clara Bradley, a sister at Mount Scholastica convent.

*Bradley was buried at St. Mary's cemetery.
From the civil war letters and journal of James Bradley, Biographical/Historical Note:
James Bradley was the son of Catherine and Patrick McCullough Bradley, both natives of Strabane, Ireland. Patrick and Catherine emigrated to Pennsylvania in 1850 and after eight years traveled further west to St. Louis and Doniphan County, Kansas, where they purchased a farm near Atchison.
James left the family farm in 1858 at the age of twenty and traveled to Memphis where he saved $600, and eventually was persuaded to enlist in the Confederate Army. He became disillusioned with the Confederate vision of the dissolution of the Union, and defected to the Union Army, where he enlisted under the name of James McCullough, so as not to be identified as a deserter in case of capture. James served as a member of Company K, 146th regiment. Later he was transferred to Company Q, known as the rebel deserters, at Fort Snelling.
After the war James worked as a stage driver in Minnesota and lived on the Maple River in Dakota Territory, working under contract to provide animals and lodging to mail riders. He also sold hay and offered board and lodging to travelers. He had a wife of 1/2 Indian, 1/2 French dissent and three children. He died in 1887, at the age of 49.
