FORMER JUDGE J.J. BRADLEY DIES OF ILLNESS
Joseph Jacob Bradley, 76, a former Fayette County Circuit Court Judge, died Saturday after a short illness.
Bradley, 533 Culpepper Road was the husband of the late Leo McCough Bradley.
A graduate of the University of Kentucky College of Law, Bradley had practiced law in Lexington since 1926. He became a circuit judge in 1950 when Fayette Circuit Court became a two division Court, under an appointment by then-Gov Earle Clements. He began elective terms in 1952 and again in 1958.
Bradley made history when he and Judge Chester D. Adams were simultaneously sworn into office--- a first in Fayette County.
From 1940 until his resignation in 1949, Bradley served as a commissioner for the U.S. District Court. In 1949 he became the first full-time corporation counsel for the city of Lexington. It was the next year he ascended to the bench.
He retired in 1968 after serving 18 years as a Fayette County Ky Circuit Court Judge.
A native of Lexington, he was the son of the late William Simpson Bradley and Agnes Lasserre Bradley and was a member of ST Paul Catholic Church. He also was a member of the Fayette County Ky and Kentucky Bar Associations.
Other survivors are a brother Emmett Bradley Petersburg, Va., and one sister, Mrs. Joseph F. Omer of Lexington Ky.
Visitation will be from 7 to 9 p.m. today at W.R. Milward Mortuary--Broadway where arrangements are incomplete.
