Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, July 24, 1890 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - We are again called upon to announce the death of an old and highly respected citizen of the town of Richland, Mr. Gilbert A. Bradner, who died at the home of his oldest son, James B. Bradner, at South Richland. Mr. Bradner was born in Goshen, Orange county, New York, November 17th, 1800, and moved tot he town of Richland with his widowed mother and family when 17 years of age. In 1826 he married Miss Olive Spades, who was the companion of his trials and triumphs for 55 years, when she was called to her reward. Mr. Bradner has always borne the character of an intelligent and honorable citizen, a good and kind neighbor, an unobtrusive and yet a useful man in all the relations of life. The death of Mr. Bradner removes one of the earliest settlers of this county while industry and perseverance sought out homes in this section when the country was new, wild and uncultivated, and by an energy and industry, which can scarcely be comprehended by the present generation, made the wilderness to blossom as the rose and the prosperous and fruitful country created by their hands from the wild and unpromising wilderness which they first encountered, to their beat monument. The present generation cannot appreciate their memory too highly. He leaves the following sons and daughters: James B. Bradner, of South Richland; Mrs. L. L. Groves, of Scribe; Mrs. Allen Davis, of Oswego; George W. Bradner, of Mexico; Mrs. F. A. Pitcher, of Cleveland, 0.; and Dr. F. J. Bradner, Pulaski.
