HE IS CALLED HOME.
Dr. BRADSHAW, One of Fairfield's Most Prominent Business Men Passes Away.

A. C. D. BRADSHAW was born in Jefferson county, Iowa, May 11, 1846, and departed from this world to the beautiful home beyond, Monday morning, September 25, 1905, at six o'clock. His early life was spent on a farm in this county. Arriving at the age of young manhood, he evinced a desire to study medicine and his parents, always mindful of their children's desires, permitted him to go to Ann Arbor Medical college at Ann Arbor, Michigan. Here he worked hard and graduated from the institution with great honors on March 27, 1867. Returning to his native county he began the practice of medicine in Salina, Iowa. Here he wooed and won his excellent companion and on March 4, 1868, Miss Mary MCCULLEY became his bride. To this union eight children were born, three of whom have preceded their father to the better land.

After a most successful practice of twelve years, Dr. BRADSHAW gave up the more active part of his profession, as the hard drives were already beginning to tell on his health, and the family moved to this city about 1880. Here Dr. BRADSHAW immediately opened a drug store, and with him was associated Louis Thoma, who was then just beginning his career as a druggist. These two gentlemen first occupied a store building that stood where Lewis Bros.' meat market is now. Later they moved to the south side of the square and then finding their business growing, they purchased the site and erected the store building now known as BRADSHAW & JERICHO's drug store.

For nearly thirty years Dr. BRADSHAW has been one of the most prominent business men of this locality. A gentleman known and respected by the young as well as old. Always thoughtful of others, he had by his quiet, unassuming manner, endeared himself to all with whom he came in contact. In early life Dr. BRADSHAW became a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, of Salina, and after removing to this city, was a most faithful worker in the Presbyterian church, which denomination he later joined. He is the last of the charter members of Forest City lodge, No.37, Knights of Pythias to be called to his reward. This order realize that they have suffered a great loss in the death of this good man. He was also vice-president of the Jefferson County State bank at the time of his death.

For several months past, Dr. BRADSHAW has been rapidly failing. A trip to Excelsior Springs, Missouri, did not improve his health and the past few weeks his life-light has been slowly, but surely going out. During this time he has been surrounded by his loved ones and all that tender hands could do for him was done without avail. The Great Master called at six o'clock in the morning and the spirit of this good husband and father was wafted gently and peacefully to that home not made by hands. A loving wife and five children, John Carl. Allie, Leland, Mrs. Una TALLMAN and Ethel, all of this city, as well as three greatly beloved grandchildren, Carroll W. and Ruth R. BRADSHAW and Leland C. TALLMAN, survive him.

Funeral services will be held from the family home Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Alexander Corkey aad (sic) the remains will be laid to rest in Evergreen cemetery to await the great judgement.

Death of Dr. BRADSHAW.

A. C. D. BRADSHAW, a practicing physician of Jefferson county for nearly forty years and a business man of Fairfield for a quarter of a century, died in this city Monday morning. He had been in ill health for several months, with little hope of recovery. He was a son of the late J. C. BRADSHAW, a pioneer settler of Jefferson county, and was born here May 11th, 1846. In young manhood he took a course of study in the medical department of the Michigan State university at Ann Arbor, graduating in March, 1867. Returning to this county he began the practice of his profession at Salina, continuing his residence there until his removal to this city in 1880. He then formed a partnership with the late Dr. R. H. Hufford in the drug business. Louis Thoma was afterwards a partner, and the store is now operated by the firm of BRADSHAW & JERICHO. Dr. BRADSHAW was a man of energy and capacity, shrewd and careful in his business transactions, but liberal and public spirited, and was closely identified with the progressive steps which the community has taken in recent years. He was a charter member of Forest City lodge, Knights of Pythias, and vice president of the Jefferson County State bank. He had been a member of the First Presbyterian church for several years.

Dr. BRADSHAW was married to Miss Mary McCULLY at Salina March 4th, 1868. They were the parents of eight children, five of whom are how living--J. C. , Leland, Mrs. C. C. TALLMAN, Allie and Ethel, all in this city. Funeral services will be held at the home on West Kirkwood street this afternoon at 2 o'clock.
