Bradford S. Stribling was just seven years old when his father, a circuit riding Methodist preacher in illinois, died. In 1860 he is living with his mother, three younger sisters and two younger half brothers. Bradford is the oldest at 19 and was probably supporting the family.
In 1862 the war broke out and he joined the 111 Reg Ill Inf Co K with his brother in law, Samuel C. Branch and other Marion county boys. He also married Dorcas Elizabeth Alexander 16 January 1862 in Marion County, Illinois. After the war he operated an ice cream parlor for a time in Springfield MO.
His daughter Cora was born in Bellefonte, Arkansas, in 1871, and not long after that Bradford decided to relocate the family to Missouri.

1899: Barry County Sunday School Association
One of the most pleasant incidents of the convention occurred Sunday morning at the Sunday school at the M.E. Church. The superintendent of the school, W.I.I.Morrow and Mr. B.S..Stribling, our newly elected President, knew each other nineteen years ago (1880?) at "Gad Fly," now Corsicana. Missouri. Mr. Morrow was a merchant and Mr. Stribling a photographer. A lasting friendship was then formed, but strange to say, they had never met again until last Sunday morning. Both at that time were men of the world (age 30?) Now both are earnest, zealous Christians. These facts were brought out in brief talks at the Sunday School, and the effect on all who witnessed the scene and heard.
The New Liberty Church on Kings Prairie ...In 1899 they held an annual meeting of the Association of the Sunday Schools of Kings prairie Township. It was held in Carters Grove, a corner of Thomas J. Carter's land at the crossroads. Six schools assembled at the church and formed a procession: New Liberty 80 members; Mt. Pisgah 75; New Salem 40; Pleasant Ridge 100; Mt. Grove 30; Bethel 75. They marched...3/4 of a mile from the church to the Grove....(where the Swedish school met them)... a stand and seats (in the grove) at noon they enjoyed a basket dinner and ... in the afternoon...
Bradford Slocum Stribling was made President of the Sunday Schools....he was president for eight years and each year between 800 to 1000 people attended the gatherings.
He and Cora had six children of their own, but often took in others. For instance Edna, who came on one of the orphan trains and stayed with them until she married. Also Bradford's orphaned niece and nephew, Mable and Alpha Branch, lived with the Striblings on the farm for a time.
