ANOTHER SETTLER GONE.Uncle James Bradway Is the next to GoJames Bradway, oldest child of Mr. and Mrs. Lester Bradway, was born near Batavia village Geneessee county, New York, March 29th, 1827, and died at the residence of his son, Jas. Bradway, in Waverly, Ill., Dec. 22d.When he was only ten years of age he moved with his parents to Erie county, Penn., remaining with them until 1847, when he came alone to Illinois and located in Ogle county; he remained here only a few years and in 1850 he removed to Menard county, and in 1851 to the vicinity of Jacksonville in Morgan county; in March 1873, he came with his family to Waverly where he resided until 1890 when he went to Palmyra where he resided until his death. On the 13th of February, 1851, he was united in marriage to Miss Olive S. York who still survives him; this union was blessed with eight children, four of whom, Joseph L., of Raymond, Ill., James of Waverly, Ill., and Albert L. of Palmyra, Ill., together with seven grandchildren survive him.In August, 1863, he enlisted in Co.

He was converted to Christ in the winter of 1874 and united with the Baptist church in this city January 1st, 1875 under the ministry of Rev. M. C. Clark and transferred his membership to the Baptist church at Palmyra when he removed to that place in October, 1890.Deceased lived a very consistent Christian life and was always recognized as one of the most unselfish of men, ever regarding the welfare of others, especially his family, as paramount to his own. He was also a man of very wide acquaintance and was very favorably known among his large circle of friends and acquaintances as "Uncle Jim", and well did he deserve the title of honor. During his days of health he was a man of activity and was always employed at some kind of work until a few years ago when his health began to fail and he was compelled to give it up, since that time he has borne this sickness with great patience and was never heard to murmur or complain. His funeral services were conducted from the Baptist church at Waverly, Sunday, Dec. 23, by W. M. Rhoads, of Upper Alton, and interment was made in East cemetery.
