Indianapolis Journal - Sunday, July 20, 1890:
Capt. James M. Bradshaw died at his residence at 6:30 o'clock last evening. Captain Bradshaw was born in Rockbridge County near Staunton, Virginia on the 3rd of August 1821, and removed with his parents to this county in the year 1836 where he has resided continuously ever since. He was an energetic businessman of sterling integrity, great kindness of heart, and devoted to his family and friends.
He was the first assistant quartermaster appointed by President Lincoln in the three months service in July 1861 and was mustered out at the close of the war in July 1865. During that time, he contracted the disease of which he finally died.
He served on the staff of General John C. Fremont at St. Louis, on the staff of General Sherman at Cairo, and of General Grant at Pittsburg Landing. After the battle of Shiloh, as a staff officer of General Halleck, he took charge of transportation and supplies and afterward served as assistant quartermaster at Helena, Arkansas, St. Louis, Missouri, Omaha, Nebraska, and as department and chief quartermaster at Chicago until mustered out. He was one of the few quartermasters that settled his accounts without a dollar's discrepancy, after handling millions of dollars of property for the government.
Captain Bradshaw leaves a wife and two sons and a large circle of friends to mourn his loss.
