DR. BRADSHER /
DIESSUOOENLy
THIS MORNING ABOUT 8 O'CLOCK
Dr. Bradaher Was One of Roiboro's
leading Physicians and
Universally L?wd.
Dr. W. A. Bradxher* died this morning
at 8 o'clock. The news spread like
wild fire, and waa on the tongue of
every one you met. He had not been'
sick at all, having been about his
duties yesterday and was down town
last night talking and joking with
his friends. Early this morning he
|! complained of having a pain in his
tide, and continued to grow worse,'
but would not consent to have a phy- ]
sician caned. However, continuing to
grow worse physician was called,.
I *? : hat death came in a few moments af"ter
he . arrived. The cause of death
we hear was acute indigestion.
Dr. Bradsher was about 49"y?ars
of age, and had been practicing his
profession here since young manhood.
He was universally loved, and, as <
stated by one of his friends this
morning, was a "martyr to his pro- I
fession," for no one ever caHed to be:
refused by him. No man in Roxboro,
or Person county, wil be missed as 1
Dr. Bradsher, for he was "a friend i
to man."
The funeral services will be held ,
tomorrow. Thursday. *. afternoon at l
2:30, at the home'. / j
