The oldest grave in our cemetery is that of Texanna Bradley, wife of Winter Payne Bradley. Born 1859; Died July 16, 1892. She was NOT buried elsewhere, exhumed and re-interred in the Bradley Cemetery. That's a myth!

Winter Payne Bradley was one of the town's founders and namesake. He did not donate the land for the cemetery. That's another myth. He donated the money that was used to purchase the land.

Winter's brother William was the town's co-founder.

Burial plots are free of charge to residents, former residents, and to those who have family buried there. In order to keep our cemetery attractive, the cemetery board has adopted the following regulations on April 6, 1999 and April 16, 2004. The following is not permitted:
1. The planting of trees, bushes, shrubs, hedges or flowers.
2. The building of fences and or borders around grave sites.
3. Removal of flowers from any lot except one's own.
4. Families should contact the cemetery board:
a. Before the setting of markers, monuments, memorial and reflection benches.
b. Before the opening of any grave or selection of a grave site.
5. 10 days after Memorial Day, flowers on the ground will be picked up.
We are aware that trees, bushes, shrubs, hedges, flowers, rose bushes, fences, stone borders, etc exist in the cemetery. However, they were placed there many years ago before the Association acquired it. Three headstones are hidden behind two juniper trees and one was completely covered by an old rose bush that had to be destroyed to uncover it. We therefore decided that the only way to prevent this from happening in the future was to cease the activity. These rules exist to make the cemetery as easy to maintain as possible so please do not argue with them. |
