Bradley died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Mary Rankin in Benton Township, at 12:13 p. m., Tuesday, August 17, aged 83 years, 7 months and 17 days. Funeral services will be held at the Siam church at 11 o'clock today, conducted by Rev. W. L. Dunlavy of Gravity. Interment in Siam cemetery. Rebecca A. [nn] Means was born in Kentucky, December 30, 1825, and it was there that she grew to womanhood and in January 1845 was married to Dee I. Bradley. The newly married couple remained in Kentucky a short time and then moved to Platte County, Missouri. They lived there only a couple of years when they removed to Warren County, Illinois. That was their home until 1869 when they came to Taylor County and settled in the vicinity of Siam, which was their home until their death. Six years ago on November 21, 1903, after 58 years of happy life together, the husband and father was called hence. Since that time Mrs. Bradley has been practically an invalid. To Mr. and Mrs. Bradley seven children were born—five sons and two daughters---all of whom are still living. The homes of all are in this vicinity and all were present at the funeral. By the request of their mother the five sons and one son-in-law will act as pallbearers. The names of the children are: G. [ranville] M. [onroe] Bradley, Mary E. [llen] Rankin, L. [ouis] C. [lark] Bradley, Joan Stickleman, Sid, Add and Lon Bradley. Since early life Mrs. Bradley has been a member of the Christian church, having been converted under an associate of the Rev. Mr. Campbell. Bedford Free Press (Bedford, Iowa), , Thursday, August 19, 1909 Mrs. Rebecca Bradley. . .was one of those brave hearted women that characterized the pioneer of Iowa. She was a loving mother and wife, and was known throughout the neighborhood for her many Christian acts of charity. No stranger ever left her home without words of cheerfulness and the needy never left without food and raiment. In the passing of this life, the world and community lose a noble example of American womanhood.
