Inscription states that J.B. Bradshaw died "in 34th year of age". The birth year is estimated based on that information, but likely somewhat different in the exact month and day.
The inscription at the base of his side of the Bradshaw monument (shared with Martha G Bradshaw) is just weatherworn enough to make a full transcription difficult. Perhaps someone with a keen eye can decipher; then a transcription can be provided.
An individual headstone topped with Dr. J.B. Bradshaw" lies at the base of the monument. Since all of the Bradshaw burials and headstones are transplanted from their original location this small headstone likely marked his individual grave.
Note: Bradshaw family information at Fairfield Public Library indicates that Joel was married first to a Elizabeth P Falconer, and they divorced. He then married Charlotte Martha Harroun on April 17, 1876 in Jefferson County, Iowa. Her name on his headstone is thus referred to as "Lottie".
Joel and Charlotte had two children, evidently. Daughter Martha G Bradshaw is buried with her father in Bradshaw Cemetery and shares a tall monument with him.
The subsequent life and death of Charlotte M Harroun Bradshaw has not been fully discovered, although some researchers have discovered evidence that she may have remarried. Files at the Fairfield Public Library can attest to those thoughts.
