Notes:

Although born Harold, he received a name change to Harry Robert Bradley at the time he entered military service. The name Harry appears on his marriage license in 1922.

His daughter Ada says that he recounted the time when, after working in the fields all morning, he and his siblings came in for lunch. Upon arriving, they noticed a woman at the table whomthey did not recognize. As everyone was seated, Harry's father introduced her as "your sister Alice". That was the first time they had ever met their half-sister.

According to his son: Harry, Mildred and the children lived on the farm, but the 43 acres did not produce much income. During World War II Harry took a job at the Curtiss Aircraft plant in Buffalo making the P-38 aircraft.

The family sold the farm and moved to town (Silver Creek). After 3-4 years (and after the war, around 1947) Harry bought land in Westfield NY and built a tractor garage and subsequently a farm tractor dealership.

Harry and Mildred always enjoyed going to diners. About 1949 Harry discovered a diner in Jamestown that was being auctioned; he placed the winning bid and had the diner moved to his Westfield property. Harry, Mildred, and son Robert ran the diner for some years, selling the Beacon Diner about 20 years later.

The diner, dealership, and their mobile home were located at 8300 W Main Street, Westfield NY (lat/lon: 42.310196,-79.598667).

Harry served in the US Navy during World War I, being in the Aviation division working on the Curtiss NC-4 flying boat, mostly in Pensacola Florida but also at Rockaway Beach and Newport News.

Census:
valued household at 3,000; showed Harry had -0- income in 1939 from wages, but also had income from another source (farm).

Harold married Mildred Ada Krueger on 21 Jun 1922 in Buffalo, Erie, New York, United States. Mildred (daughter of George R. Krueger and Anna Laura Anderson) was born on 12 Sep 1898 in Dunkirk, New York; died on 18 Feb 1985 in Hanover Township, Chautauqua, New York, United States. [Group Sheet]

• Probate: 9 Dec 1942, Chautauqua Co, NY

Notes:

He was a farmer, and was remembered as being frugal, but not tight, and as a stern man. He believed in being a good provider, and in the value of owning real estate. His children would only be allowed to go to school when there was no work on the farm. He never had electricity or indoor running water, though he eventually did get gas lighting.

It was common for men to come to the farm looking for a place to sleep for the night, or for some work. He would not refuse a man sleeping quarters in the barn, but would only hire men with narrow hips (apparently, he believed they would not be lazy and would work hard).

Birth:
Some sources say he was born in the town of Pomfret. A newspaper item after his death states Dunkirk.

Census:
The 1905 state census shows father Robert age 68 (occupation "farming"), wife Mary C age 48, and children: Ralph age 17, Wilson age 16, Harold age 14, Jessie age 18, Mary age 10 and Samuel age8.

Robert married Mary Campbell Wilson on 25 Nov 1886. Mary (daughter of James Wilson and Philena Bailey Davison) was born on 17 Dec 1856 in Hanover Township, Chautauqua, New York, United States; died on 10 Jan 1939 in Hanover Township, Chautauqua, New York, United States. [Group Sheet]

Other Events:

• _UID: 27C5B22A307F4DE2B03DE5A03F7B68033D6B

Notes:

She was remembered as being very sweet, with "a heart as big as all outdoors." Ada Bradley Hornburg remembers that, as a child, they would come to her house to spend the night. Upon their rising in the morning, they would find all of their clothes from the previous day washed, dried and perfectly ironed. This was quite an accomplishment in those days, without washing machines or clothes driers.
