General Notes: Husband - Curtin Andrew Bradley

---

He spent his early life in Plum Township, Venango County, PA, acquiring his education in the public schools of the neighborhood. For three years during his young manhood he worked in the Butler County oil fields, but most of his life he has been interested in agriculture on the Cherrytree Township farm where his father settled about 1888, and which his father deeded to him. After it came into his possession he was been unfortunate enough to suf­fer the loss of a big barn by fire. Besides following general farming operations, he kept stock and engaged in the production of oil, he and his son owning the oil rights on the farm. There were nine wells in operation when the lease came into their hands, and they sunk another, and had a yield fully up to the average in the territory. The location was six miles south of Titusville.
As a public-spirited citizen Mr. Bradley was a representative member of his family, and during twenty years of service on the township school board showed a sincere desire to promote the best interests of his fellow citizens. He kept in touch with advanced ideas in agriculture through his membership in the Grange, belonging to the Cherrytree organization. [CAB, 1027]
