Bradley, Joseph H (1878-1952) - Marshfield Farmer 1935-1952 on Cornhill Avenue.




The 1940 Census for Marshfield shows that Joseph H. Bradley was a sixty-three years old, single male, who was born in New York, renting a farm on Cornhill Avenue on which he conducted his own farming business.   He was the second to the youngest child and second son of Michael & Jane Bradley of New York City, New York, who immigrated from Ireland to the US.  His siblings were George (b. 1867), Mary (b.1868), Kate (b.1875) and Elizabeth (b.1879).  What could have brought him out here to take up farming in Marshfield?
