Maquoketa Record, March 29, 1905:
A telegram received Wednesday morning by Riley Struble from Mrs. Hattie A. Bradway of Newport, Oregon, gives the sad intelligence of the death at that place, of Edwin Bradway of diabetes. A letter to Mrs. Struble a few days ago told of his extreme illness and now the Death Messenger has come. The telegram furthers states that his remains will be buried in Newport until fall. The deceased was about 61 years of age, and a faithful member and Past Commander of A.W.Drips Post, G.A.R., having served in Company B, 26th Iowa Infantry during the war. He was a quiet, unassuming man, but withal of sturdy uprightness of character, and his loss is a heavy one for the community. Two years ago at the National Encampment os the G.A.R. at San Francisco, he and his wife went to the coast, where they have since resided.
