Post, will be OF much interest to print
ers from a historical point of view and

er. who died May %, 1852, lies in Trim
/ ity churchyard, downtown On Decora-

the Globe that it would be fitting for
the employees OF the Globe and the Even
/ ing Post, as the two oldest newspapers
/ in the city. to contribute a little fund
this year for flowers for this printers
grave. Some one hundred and fifty EN-.
ployes of the two newspapers contributed.
and a suitable wreath is being placed to
the memory of William Bradford.
The inscription on the stone is as fol-
lows:
