DEATH TAKES
MRS. RICHARD BRADFIELD
Hundreds of Westerville people, acquaintances of Mrs. Ethel Hill Bradfield, were grieved Saturday morning to learn of her death at a Columbia Mo. Hospital, which came after a slight sinking spell due to heart disease. She was 40 years of age. Apparently on the road to recovery Mrs. Bradfield had just greeted her husband when she suddenly began lapsing and before medical aid could be obtained she had passed into a quiet sleep from which she never regained consciousness. An infant son and her husband Richard Bradfield survive her.
Mrs. Bradfield taught the first grade in the local schools for six years after her graduation from Otterbein in 1917 and was considered one of the most competent instructors that had ever taught in the local schools. Only last summer she and Mr. Bradfield were united in marriage. Prior to that time she and her mother Mrs. John Hill had made their home here together. Her husband is associate professor of soils at the University of Missouri.
At the United Brethren church Tuesday afternoon hundreds of friends paid their last respects to the deceased. Funeral services were in charge of Rev. S. W. Keister. Many of her former pupils attended the service, the schools being dismissed, and college friends of Mr. Bradfield served as pall bearers. Burial was made in Otterbein Cemetery by Keyes & Sammons.
