Friday, July 10, 1896
Jas. Bradshaw died at the age of 70 years at his home near Leitchfield last Saturday of pneumonia. He was almost a miser and one who did not know him, from his surroundings, would have considered him as being a man of extreme poverty, but was thought to be of considerable wealth. He went around dressed almost in rags, but always carried on him from $500 to a $1,000 or more. He kept his money, so it is said, buried and whether or not he revealed where it is before his death is not known. His wife and daughter, his only living child, survive him. Burial in Barton Cemetery on Sunday
