Eulalia McCarron Bradway
Anna Bradway
The funeral services occurred at 2:30 p.m. on Monday, at the
Esgate School house, Rev. Stevens, the evangelist, officiating.
The remains of the mother and child were both placed in one
coffin, and interred in Mt. Hope Cemetery, in this city. They
were followed to their last resting place by a very large number
of sympathizing friends and relatives. The deceased, Mary Eulalia
Bradway was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. W. McCarron. She was
born December 15, 1851, at Berea, Ohio, and came to Maquoketa
with her parents in December 1855. She received her education at
the academy in Maquoketa and taught several terms of school. She
was married to Edwin Bradway July 20, 1870, to whom five children
were born. The oldest son and two daughters are now living and
besides them she leaves a husband, father, mother, one sister,
one brother and many other relatives and friends who deeply mourn
her very sudden and unnatural death in a house fire. Little Anna,
who met her untimely death in her mother’s arms, had she
lived would have been five years old in September. She was a
bright, affectionate child, with a pleasant, unselfish
disposition, and was dearly beloved by all who knew her.
