 Mr. Silas l.. Bradley, a prominent and much esteemed citizen of Auburn, N. r., died April 17th. A few years ago MT. and Mrs. Bradley lost an accomplished and beau tiful daughter, Mrs. Clara Bradley Shew, and 8 few months ago they followed to the tomb their only SOD, George H., who died at At lanta, Ga.
 Mr. Silas L. Bradley was native of North
 
 remembered by some of. our old and promi- nent citizens. From a tribute to his memo ry in the Auburn, N. Y., Advertiser, we ex- tract as follows
 'tMr. Bradley came to Auburn when 20 years of age. More than half his life has been spent in this place. In this city he WAS married to Miss Jane Loomis in 1841. Here he achieved his success as & mer- chant and man of business. Here his reputation as fnancier and careful manager of money matters is best known. Here his character as man and as an officer of the church has been established At the time of his death Mir. Bradley was an elder in the Second Presbyterian church to which office he was elected in 1854 and which he has filled with honor ever since. His death is loss to the Second church beyond all estimation. He was best known to the community as the president of the Second National bank of Auburn. His official con- nection with this bank dates back to 1860 when he was chosen a director. In 1876 he became it's vice president and the year follow ing president. MT. Bradley was also 8 trus- tee of the Auburn Savings bank, g trustee of the orphan asylum and director in the Auburn Water works company. Having &C., quired an independent future by his own industry, he was most scru- most iudicious in the expenditure of his own. His death will be 8 loss to many of true friend and generous help. His benevolent gifts were not large but numerous. He gave to many persons and many objects in ways and amounts known only to himself. The extent of our loss is indicated by the univer- sal expressions of esteem and regret which prevail throughout the commercial and relig- ious circles of our city to day"
