Notes |
- He was the subject of a book, "Samuel Henry Bradley: Recollections of Army Life", written by his wife in 1913.
Samuel had worked with his father in the lumber business (except for his period of military service) until his father's death. His wife notes that, during the war, he had become an alcoholic, but managed to conquer the addiction in 1871.
He became active in oil exploration, and though he had strong contacts with many Standard Oil employees, he allied himself primarily with independent refiners.
Samuel served as a Member of Assembly in the New York State Legislature starting in 1881, and was appointed to fill a one-year term as county treasurer of Cattaraugus County, New York.
