The funeral service for Schuyler Colfax Bradford, 81, who died at 12:30 Tuesday afternoon at his home, 302 Alfred street, will be held at the home at 10 a.m. Friday, in charge of the Rev. H. J. Stahl of the Grace United Brethren church. The burial will be in Rice cemetery.
Death was due to uremic poisoning developing from organic trouble that confined him to his bed for two weeks in January. He had recovered sufficiently to be up and about the house until three days before his death.
Mr. Bradford was a resident of Elkhart more than half a century, having come here from Benton Harbor, Mich., in 1881. He took a position as yardman for Eldridge & Robbins, a lumber firm then in business here. Later he had a yard of his own near Main and Willard streets and subsequently followed the trade of carpenter for many years. He served as constable under Justices of the Peace Jacob Oberholtzer, Aaron Work and J. M. Brumbaugh, all now deceased, then re-engaged in carpenter work. His last continued service was in one of the Conn plants during the World war. For the last 12 or 14 years he had not been actively engaged.
The son of Stephen A. and Theresa (Rhodes) Bradford, he was born Feb. 12, 1851, near Lakeville, Ind. When he was a young man the family moved to Benton harbor. There, on Jan. 3, 1875, he was married to Mary E. Jakway, who survives him. There are two sons, Clarence J. Bradford of Elkhart and Leo Montel Bradford of Toledo, O., four grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
