[BRADBURY, LUCINDA CAROLINE BURTON] The deceased was born in Polk County, Indiana, March 13, 1825, and was married to William Bradbury, of the same county and State, Oct. 4, 1843. After their marriage they lived in Indiana for twelve years, when in 1855 they moved to Taylor County, Iowa, about two miles north of Hopkins, Mo., where they lived until last March, moving in that month to this place. She was all her life quite delicate but was not taken to her bed, with the disease from which she died, until some time last December. During the long months she was confined to her bed she patiently suffered all her afflictions, not a murmur ever escaping her lips. Toward the last of her life she expressed a desire to depart from her sufferings. Sister Bradbury confessed her faith in Christ while quite young and ever afterward tried to follow Him. She was a devoted wife and mother. A husband, ten children, three sisters, two brothers and a half brother mourn her loss—but their present loss is her everlasting gain. One daughter is in Oregon, a son in Iowa and a son somewhere in the West. The rest of the children are here at the present. Her oldest child, a daughter, died some ten or twelve years ago in Kansas. Two of her sisters and one brother and half brother live in Iowa, the other sister in Illinois and the other brother in Dakota. To the bereft family we would say, mourn not as those without hope, but take the example of your departed loved one and follow the Lord Jesus; and you may rest assured of a happy reunion with her in the "Sweet by and by."
