DEATH OF MRS D. B. BRADLEY.

"A ~
 Sarah M. Bradley, wife of Daniel Burr Bradley, ST., succumbed to a stroke of apoplexy, Sunday morning, at her homo in the West Long Lots district of Greens Farms, at the age suddennesS and the shock was crush ing one to her many friends who could scarcely realize that one who was so dearly beloved by all had indeed been taken from them. Although Mrs Bradley lived just outside the limits of Greenfield parish, she was one of us by mutual acquaintance and friend ship and her death will be lamented here quite as much as in the narrow confines of her own church circle. For many years both she and her husband have been valued members of the Greens Farms Congregational church, her fraternal, christian spirit, not the outward show of unselfshness, but the real sweetness of disposition and hearty good fellowship bringing her into con of sympathy or friendly aid. In the neighbOrhOod where she has lived so long, her unassuming charities are best known. Here the essence of her beau tiful life has shed its sweetest per fume. No voice of criticism is heard to mar the harmony of praise. The testimony Of those to whom she has carried the message of love and sympa- thy in their hour of trial will best pro- nounce her eulogy. The children left to mourn the loss of a devoted mother are Mrs R. H. Coley, William H. Brad ley and Judge D. B. Bradley, Jr., all of Westport, and Mrs w. F. Elwood of Southport. The funeral was held from her late home, Wednesday afternoon at l. 30 o'clock. Rev Carlton B. Stray CT of the Greens Farms Congregation al church Officiated.
