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.
