The Enterprise, Waverly, Illinois, Thursday, December 4, 1902.
Olive S. York, the subject of this sketch, was born near Newmarket, Ontario, Canada, on the 21st day of November, 1832, and died of [pneumonia November 30, 1902, at the residence of her eldest sister, Mrs. T. J. Reynolds, in Modesto, Ill., whom she was visiting, having reached the age of 70 years and 9 days. At the age of eight years she removed with her parents to northern Illinois, and later to Menard county, Illinois, where on the 13th of February, 1851, she was united in marriage with James Bradway, who preceded her to that better land on December 23, 1900. To this union were born eight children: Joseph L., of Litchfield, Ill.; Minnie Fenn, of Clinton, Mo.; James W., of Waverly, and Albert L., of Palmyra, who survive her, and William, Olive, Irvin and Nellie, who preceded her.
At the age of 24 she professed faith in Christ and united with the Union Baptist church near Pisgah, Morgan county, Illinois, under the pastorate of Hezekiah Kane. In 1873 she removed to Waverly and united with the Baptist church here, and in 1890, on her removal to Palmyra, Illinois, transferred her membership to the Baptist church at that place, and was a faithful member at the time of her death. During and previous to her least illness she often expressed strong faith in the blessed promises and saving power of Jesus. Shortly before she lost consciousness of earthly things she called her sister to her bedside and said, "I just want to tell you that my faith in Christ is strong." She lived a faithful and consistent Christian life and died trusting in the blessed promises of her master.
Funeral services were held at the Baptist church in this city on Monday, Dec. 1, conducted by the Rev. Rhoads of Palmyra, assisted by the Rev. T. C. Coffey, pastor of the Waverly Baptist church, after which the remains were taken to East cemetery for interment.
The following relatives from out of the city were present: Samuel McCausland, of Jacksonville, a half brother; Mrs. Reynolds, of Modesto, a sister, and J. L. Bradway of Litchfield and A. L. Bradway of Palmyra, sons.
