CLYDE BRADLEY

     who resides five miles northwest from Merrill, is known as one of the
substantial and progressive agriculturists of Klamath county. He was born on
February 13, 1861, in Grayson county, Kentucky, the son of Creed and Naoma
(Preston) Bradley. His childhood days were spent in Harden county, Kentucky,
where he received his educational training. In 1884, Mr. Bradley journeyed west
to Lewis county, Missouri, and in 1886 he went to Solano county, California. Two
years later, he came thence to Klamath county and entered a preemption where he
now resides. It is all fine sage brush land, fifty acres of which are under the
ditch and seeded to alfalfa. The balance is all in cultivation and produces
grain crops annually. He has the place well improved, with barns, fences and
other accessories. When Mr. Bradley first came here, the country was all sage
brush and settlers were far apart. He has done his part in building up the
country and in making it the prosperous place that it is today. Since coming
here, he has taken a trip to California and also one to Kentucky.
     Fraternally, he is affiliated with the Klamath FaIls lodge of the I. O. O.
F. Mr. Bradley is still a bachelor. He has one of the finest places in the
county and is a highly respected man.
