    Notes:

    1870 Census: listed as "Joseph B."

    Tombstone in Buckfield marked only "Father and Mother", next to Wilson.

    Bradbury was a very fun loving guy with a good sense of humor. He was known for his practical jokes on family and friends. He was a small man in stature only measuring 5'3''. He worked his dad's farm and had a farm of his own which Wilson took over later. He raised cattle for both milk and beef. Milk went to the local dairy. Beef was shipped to Boston, along with apples from his orchard. His main cash crop was corn that he sold to a local cannery. He sold pigeons to sell in Boston which he sold as fresh "quail". He worked in town as a butcher, in the winter and was suspected to sell deer meat as veal.
    When the train went into the creek it was never set up again for freight. This changed a lot of commerce trading for Buckfield. Getting products to Boston now was impossible. Cash was tight and Bradbury turned to running Rum from Canada threw Smuggler's Notch in Vermont. This was across a lake and Bradbury would keep most of the rum on the outside of the boat connected by ice thongs and if chased would squeeze the top and the rum would drop to the bottom of the lake making it easier for him to get away or at least have nothing to get caught with. He sold his rum to a local pharmacy who had a run in with the town. One Sunday morning the preacher warned his Parrish that anyone who drank could not cross the threshold of his church next Sunday. Later that week the church and the school next to it were burned down. No one was arrested but the pharmacist left town never to return and his accomplice was never revealed. Local gossip has it that Brad was part of this incident. He spent a lot of time with a man named Larry Fisher and they were partners in the rum running.
    As time went on his wife Viola left him; traveling with a salesman named Joe Bowles; to Boston. He sold pots and pans and known to locals as a Jew boy. She went to Boston with him and divorced Bradbury and later married Walter Reed. She took Elbert her youngest son with her never to return to Buckfield except to be buried with Bradbury.
    Bradbury was a hunter and a fisherman as most men in those days were. He was a heavy drinker and a chain smoker. When he died they gave him nicotine pills so he would lay still and die quitely. He lived his last days living with his son Wilson.
    John Linwood Damon Jr. told Brian Edward Damon these stories as he had first hand knowledge of his uncle and talked about him with a smile and a chuckle. He ended each story with the disclaimer " or so I heard".

    Bradbury married Gammon, Viola Abbie on 18 Nov 1883 in Canton, Oxford Co., ME. Viola (daughter of Gammon, Charles Harrison and Sturtevant, Mary B.) was born on 08 Oct 1867 in Buckfield, Oxford Co., ME; died on 01 Oct 1918 in Brockton, Plymouth Co., MA; was buried in Buckfield, Oxford Co., ME.

    • Census: 15 Jun 1900, Buckfield, Oxford Co., ME
    • Census: May 1910, Greene, Androscoggin Co., ME

    Notes:

    As time went on his wife Viola left Bradbury;traveling with a salesman named Joe Boulos to Boston. He sold pots and pans and known to locals as a Jew boy. She went to Boston with him and divorced Bradbury and later married Walter Reed. It is thought that her relationship with Joe Bowles was one of convenience; simply a ride to Boston. She took Elbert her youngest son with her never to return to Buckfield except to be buried with Bradbury.

    On the 1910 Census, it states that Viola had given birth to 10 children, of which 7 are living. We only have accounted for 8 births.

    Notes:

    Martin was a local farmer who keep to himself and was a real New England person with a dry Sense of humor that wanted to be left alone. Once when the Captain of the Parrish Maine Volunteers came to recruit him for the Civil War, Martin didn't take kind to him. The Captain and a private was trying to talk to him and the Captain with a mouth full of tobacco accidently spit on Martins bare feet. Martin hauled back and punched the Captain sending him backwards on his backsides. The Captain jumped up but quickly realized he was out maned and never returned, nor did Martin ever enlist.
    Martin like most people lived on a farm and raised the usual cattle, poultry, and crops. He also had a shop in town and repaired boots and harness. He was quite handy. Martin was the last Drake in his line as all children were girls.
