The Oldest of eleven children, of Puritan New
England lineage, Joseph Bradley was born on a
farm in Albany county, New York, on the 18th
day of March, 1913, and was therefore, on jan
uary 22 last, the day of his death, near the end
of his seventy ninth year. The means of his
parents who at his birth were only nineteen
years old, were slender, and the circumstances
of his childhood and youth were very hard. The
little farm was rugged-almost mountainous
the soil then barren. The meager crops were
sides and burning into charcoal, which
young Bradley peddled about the streets of AL
baay. But though sore pressed to supply the
needs of their fast growing flock, this father
and mother were of the intelligent farmer class,
so often ambitious TO give their children bet
ter chance than their own, and they did for
their boy the best they could. A few months
country schooling in winter and few books
were the foundation on which a great super
ssEncture OF learning was built-a foundation
which, with all due respect to so called improved
school systems and modern methods it is be-
haved, was all the better for the ambitious boy,
because the opportunities were rare, and

The merchants of Talladego, Ala,

This lead will probably be followed by
other merchants in that section, the
