Frank Bradley Dead

From Thursday's Daily

Frank Bradley, son of Mr. W. E. Bradley of this city, died yesterday afternoon at Electra, Texas, where he had been working for some time. Mr. Bradley received a telegram Tuesday that he had been hurt and left at once for Electra, arriving there before he died. Just how the accident occurred could not be learned, but we understand he was struck by a lever on one of the well drilling machines and knocked under a large cylinder, breaking his back and crushing his skull.

The remains will be brought to Athens for burial reaching here tonight at 10:52 over the T. & N. O. The funeral will be held tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock at the family residence. Pall bearers are Henry Hart, Archie Underwood, Jack Richardson, Bud Richardson, Adrian Ford, Will P. Jones, Ike LaRue, Mason Mathews.

The Review joins the many friends of the father, brothers and sisters in extending sympathy to them in their bereavement.

Funeral of Frank Bradley
From Friday's Daily

The funeral of Frank Bradley was held this morning. The services were conducted by Rev. Gaddy at the family residence. Interment was immediately had at the city cemetery. A large crowd of friends attended the funeral notwithstanding the very inclement weather.

Frank was a bright, clever boy, dutiful, industrious, and bid fair to make a useful and successful man.

The Review again extends its deepest sympathy to the bereaved family.

Prof. Skinner Dies
From Saturday's Daily

Prof. Skinner has been superintendent of the city schools several years. He was a man of fine education, retired, but polished manners, a good teacher a man of unblemished character and most exemplary habits. He was a member of the Baptist church and a very zealous worker in Sunday school and church work.

The Review extends its deepest sympathy to the bereaved family.

Mrs. Curlee Dead

Mrs. J. E. Curlee, who has had smallpox for several days, died last
night at the family residence on Larkin street. The remains were
interred in the city cemetery this afternoon at 4 o'clock.

This was the second case of the dreaded disease in the family, her
daughter, Miss Jennie, having been down with it several weeks ago.
She has fully recovered however.

Mrs. Curlee leaves a husband two sons and two daughters, the two
sons not having been able to see her during her illness on account
of the strict quarantine. To all of these the Review extends sympathy.
