H. Poe Bradbury Dies Early This Morning
Well-Known Citizen And Lodge Man Passes Away Suddenly At His Home
Funeral Will Be Held There At Three O'Clock Monday
Poe Bradbury is dead! That was the startling message flashed over the city this morning. Even those aware of his precarious condition shook their heads incredulously. It seemed unbelievable that this dynamic personality had ceased to be. The end came about 5:30 at his home, 729 Second avenue. He had been bedfast since Tuesday, following a severe attack of angina pectoris - the most severe of the many he had experienced over a period of several years.
Aged 53 Years
About 5:20 he had a coughing spell that aroused Mrs. Bradbury. She spoke to him, but he told her he was all right, as he arose to go to the bathroom. She was not reassured and as she hastened to him he sagged to the floor and quickly expired.
Hiram Poe Bradbury was in his 54th year, having been born at Kyger Oct. 8, 1886. He was the youngest child of the late William and Louisa Belle Bradbury. For more than 35 years he had called Gallipolis his home and during that period had been an active and generous supporter and booster for many organizations and worthy causes. He had been a toll collector on the Silver Bridge for seven years or more. As boy and man he was a "dead game, square-shooting fellow," as many a lifelong acquaintance has remarked today.
He was a man of strong convictions, outspoken and even combative, but beneath a rugged exterior there was heart overflowing with kindness. The night was never too dark or the weather too bad for him to go forth to do a favor for a friend or a service for anyone in distress. He was proud of and tenderly devoted to his wife and his son, Bobbie, and the little foster daughter, Betty Lou, and they reciprocated his feelings in fullest measure.
Poe Bradbury was never a student, in the common acceptance of that term, but he had a keen mind and an intellectual honesty of a rare sort. In his younger years he had filled countless kinds of jobs and thus acquired an amazing fund of practical knowledge.
Owned River View
When this country entered the World War, Poe was eager to become an aviator and did enlist in the aviation service, but there was a flaw then in his heart's functioning that excluded him from the flying school. After the war he owned and operated the River View Hotel for a few years, later leasing the property to others and finally selling it to Dr. C. E.
