Read More	She Lived For Others Susan Clapp-Bradley Sought to Benefit the Unfortunate One who has devoted her life to the aid of the deserving and to mission work among the lowly was Mrs. Susan Clapp-Bradley, aged 76, who died yesterday afternoon at her home, 82 Green street. She had for some months been in declining health, although as long as able she continued her interest in the welfare and uplifting of the unfortunate. Her last hours were peaceful. The immediate cause was consumption. Mrs. Bradley was a woman of remarkable character and attainments in work for others, for very love of it her life was one long devotion to the help of the unfortunate and the needy. A woman of high Christian ideals, she exemplified in the truest sense the command of the golden rule and found her great happiness in working among those deserving sympathy and aid. She was a direct descendant of Roger Clapp, who came to this country and settled in Dorchester in 1632, and was born in Stoughton, June 7, 1832, the daughter of Benjamin Clapp and Ruth Drake-Clapp. She was one of quite a large family, brothers being James B. Clapp, B.R. Clapp and Samuel Clapp and sisters Ruth Clapp-Gurney and Mrs. Mary C. Monk. She was well educated, and during the early 60's conducted a private school in the old house still standing at the corner of Pearl and Pleasant Streets at Brockton Heights, where ex-Mayor Albert R. Wade and other prominent citizens of Brockton attended in those days. Her sister, Mrs. Ruth Clapp-Gurney, was associated with her in the conduct of the school. Right after the civil war Mrs. Bradley went south as an American missionary, and there worked among and taught negroes, remaining in this work for some years. Later she carried on a mission school at Cottage City, Martha's Vineyard, for Portuguese, and this work she continued until about three years ago, when she came to Brockton to reside permanently with her sister, Mrs. Ruth Clapp-Gurney, widow of Alpheus Gurney on Green Street. She was the widow of the late Stephen H. Bradley, formerly of Martha's Vineyard, who died about [20] years ago. Mrs. Bradley was largely instrumental in starting the Wendell Avenue Congregational Church. She started the Sunday school which later developed into a school in that section. She had been a member of the Porter Congregational Church for a number of years since she took up her residence here. She leaves a brother, James B. Clapp of Sharon, and a sister, Mrs. Ruth Clapp-Gurney, of Green Street, this city. The other brothers and sisters are deceased. The funeral is to be held at the late home at 2 Saturday afternoon and is to be private, Rev. Ira E. David of the Olivet Memorial Church is to officiate and burial will be at Union Cemetery.
