Mr. James Braden died at his home in Milford, Ind., Oct. 23rd, 1887, at about 11 a.m., surrounded by many relatives and friends. He was born June 3, 1847, on the farm of his father, Walter Braden. He never really lived out of the township. He was of a family of nine--four of whom are dead. His mother died when he was five years of age.
He was married to Miss Etta Anderson Oct. 20, 1870. To them was born one son, Emet (sic). Their life was congenial and happy. He was a partner with Albert Russell in farming and merchandise for 14 years. He was a charter member of the Odd Fellows Lodge of Milford, also for several years, and at the time of his death, a member of the Masonic fraternity.
The Braden family has been prominent in this county for many years. His father was a staunch Methodist, and aided nobly in the construction of the Methodist Church. He himself was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Milford, and died in great peace. The scene around his death bed will long be remembered by those present. He bade them all good-bye, and said he was willing and ready to die, and asked that they meet him in Heaven. He died of typho-malaria fever.
