  Obituary- Bradley, Joseph J.C. (Joseph Calvin) Bradley Joseph Calvin Bradley, 77, one of the early day business men of Rossville, died early Saturday morning at his home on South Main street after an illness of over a year. Mr. Bradley came to Kansas at the age of 20, from his native town of Decatur, Indiana, where he was born September 12, 1862. He attended Washburn college and in the 90’s became Rossville manager of the J.

Mr. Bradley was always in the forefront for any improvement of Rossville. He served as Mayor of the town and was elected at various times as councilman. He was also a member of the town band for many years. After going out of the grain business about 1912 Mr. Bradley was in the employ of the Standard Oil Co. for 20 years until he reached the retirement age in 1932. He was married November 24, 1886 to Ida Magill of Silver Lake. To this union one child was born, May Bradley Johnson, who survives him. There are also two grandchildren, Charles and Barbara Johnson of Topeka. Mr. Bradley was a member of the Rossville Presbyterian church, and of Hesperian Lodge No. 11, A.F. & A. M. and Amarayllis chapter O.E.S. of Rossville. Funeral services were held in the Presbyterian church Monday, at 2 p.m. conducted by the Rev. H.L. Nelson the pastor, assisted by Rev. C.P. Broadfoot.
