Chancey Joel Bradley was born in Greene county, Wisconsin, December 20, 1846, and died at the home of his father-in-law, Mr. E. H. Battles, this city, December 5, 1901. The family came to Iowa when he was a boy and lived for a time in Delaware county, but afterward removed to Jackson county. While a resident in Delaware county he enlisted in the 6th Iowa Cavalry, serving with his reqiment on the frontiers of Iowa and Dakota. Mr. Bradley was married at Andrew October 8, 1872, to Miss Alma Battles. He has lived in Nebraska and Oklahoma. Two children preceded him, one in infancy and another in early womanhood, a dearly loved daughter. He has gone to join them and to be forever with the Lord, while his wife, who tenderly ministered to him in sickness, and labored with him in strength, is left the sole survivor of the family. He, some years ago, entered upon the Christian life, but in his last illness, renewed his covenant and received baptism. He died in the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ in assurance and peace. Funeral services were held at the M. E. Church Sunday at 2:00 p.m., and were largely attended by the G. A. R. and friends of deceased, Rev. R. D. Parsons preaching the sermon.
