In Reply to: Obit Lookup Please: BRADBURY, Morton Lewis "Lew" 1947 by Carol Buck of 612

Modesto bee, Tuesday, Oct. 28, 1947, page 7

(In Vital statistics, under "Deaths"; they didn't have obits per se in 1947.")

Bradbury - At home, near Modesto. October 27th. Morton Lewis: Husband of Mary W. Bradbury of Modesto; father of Bill and Floyd Bradbury of Nebraska; stepfather of Frank W. and W. C. Jones of Oklahoma City. A native of Montezuma, Iowa; aged 75 years.

Funeral services to be announced later ny Salas brothers-Moore Funeral Chapel, 1019 H Street [That was 1947; they have moved, and they are just "Salas Brothers" now.]

In the October 29 paper was a small addition - he was buried in the Masonic Cemetery here in Modesto.

=====================================
Notes I put on all of these, if I remember:

Salas Brothers are still in business. You could look them up in an on-line phone book and write or call. They may have more information.

I will send you the microfilm print-out if you send me your address privately.

If you have the inclination and ability, you can repay the favor by looking up an obituary for someone who posted a request on the GenForum page for your county. I do these to repay a small regiment of people who have helped me.

=================================
There is a 47-year old Lewis Bradbury in Walters, Cotton, Oklahoma on the 1920 census, married to a 43-year old Dora. He is b. Iowa, she Tennessee. His parents are both b. Indiana. There are no kids.

This might be him in 1880, maybe.

Household:

Age is right, parents' birthplaces are right, first name close, middle initial exact, birth year close enough, county isn't the same as th eobit; Montezuma is in Poweshiek county.
