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]
