by Bela Foster
Continuing . . .
Mr. and Mrs. Robert E. Bradbury have two daughters, who are successful teachers. These are Helen and Dorothy. They have three sons, Robert, Herbert and Ralph. ...
Robert farms the place known as the Peter Gose farm, now known as the S. W. Netherton farm. Herbert and Ralph are at home. Their first son, Franklin Eugene is deceased.
Robert Bradbury, Sr., is one of those handy men who can work at almost anything. He likes things convenient and he makes them so. He is a plumber by trade and can be relied upon to do this work right. He has an eye for invention and makes use of it. His work takes him miles aways from home. Robert E. Bradbury's brother, James F., lives in Chicago. The two brothers and their sister, Mrs. Ida Cowden own about 240 acres of land in section three. Mrs. Bradbury was formerly Miss Amy Mosher. Her sister, Mrs. Nellie Yackee and her brother, Frank Mosher live in Roberts. Her sister, Mrs. Ethel Willy and her brother, Harry Mosher live in Chicago.
The ancestry of Robert E. Bradbury came to America in the early part of the seventeenth century. They came in a time when America was the land of the Indians. His grand-father was English descent and he married a French-English. The grandfather was from Massachusetts and she was from New Hampshire. In 1848, the family of fourteen moved to West Virginia and two years later came to Peoria County Illinois. They farmed there until 1868, when they moved to Eppard's Point Township in Livingston County.
