OBITUARY

ANNA ROBERTA BRADSHAW

ANNA ROBERTA BRADSHAW, passed away June 3rd, 1934, at the home of her sister, Mrs. Ernest JERICHO in Moline, Ill., with whom she had made her home since the death of her mother, which occurred two years ago. During those two years in Moline she had found many wonderful friendships.

She was born June 27th, 1874, at Salina, Iowa, the daughter of the late Dr. and Mrs. A. C. D. BRADSHAW. When three years old, the family moved to Fairfield, where she spent the greater part of her life in the family home at 306 North Kirkwood St. She attended the public schools, graduating from Fairfield High School in the class of 1893.

She devoted her entire life to her family, and was the stand-by in every case of need. During both her father's and her mother's last illness she proved unfailing devotion. To know her was to be ever her friend. Her life exemplified her high ideals and sterling character: Proverb 31:31; "Let her own works praise her."

Her death by a accidental drowning (sic) came as a great shock to her family and friends.

Miss BRADSHAW was a member of the First Presbyterian church of Fairfield.

Surviving are two sisters, Mrs. E. JERICHO, of Moline, Ill., and Mrs. C. C. TALLMAN and two brothers, J. C. BRADSHAW, her twin, and L. S. BRADSHAW, all of Fairfield, Iowa.

Funeral services were held Tuesday, June 5th, at the Hoskins Funeral Home, conducted by Dr. Gilbert Voorhies of the First Presbyterian church. Interment was made in the family lot in Evergreen cemetery.
