Indianapolis Journal - Tuesday, January 20, 1903:
John A. Bradshaw, after an illness of one week, died about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. He had been a resident of this city for over sixty-five years, his parents having removed here from Virginia in 1836. During his long career, he was engaged in various business enterprises, the most important of which was that of pork packing under the firm name of Holmes, Petit & Bradshaw. For several years previous to his death, he had devoted himself to farming.
His long residence here gave him a wide acquaintance, including many persons prominent in the history of the city and State. His reminiscences of them were varied and interesting. He was a man of strict integrity and his capacity for fellowship attracted to him many warm friends to whom he was always loyal and devoted.
He was married in 1854 to Adaline Elder who survives him. The members of his own family who are living are William A. Bradshaw and Mrs. J. R. Hussey, brother and sister.
