[or-roots] RE: Southern Oregon Bradley burials

[Leslie Chapman]

Thanks Ann, you had better luck than I did and gave me much narrower search
range. Interestingly enough when I look closer at the USGS info one of the
Jackson county hits is on the "lake Creek" quadrangle map and when I go
there the first thing that pops up is a place name (or named location where
somebody lives) is Lake Creek.

Unfortunately there is no cememtery shown in Lake Creek the community, and
it is on Little Butte Creek?? So am guessing historical society Ann mentions
is best bet.

Must be getting late, I just realized that is the place Ann was talking
about, the cemetery may be there and just too small to register on topo map.
I might take a crack at looking at the aerial photos of the area, but doubt
that a four plot cemetery would show up there.

I missed the original query.  I believe these are in Jackson County, as I
found the following listing in

"Jackson County Oregon Cemeteries, vol. 1, published 1984 by the Rogue
Valley Genealogical Society"

p. 107  "Family Burial Plots and Small Cemeteries'

Bradley Family Plot
Lake Creek area
(private)

BRADLEY
	Angeline Terrill				1894
	Lawson				57 years	1875
	Lucinda			16 years	1878
	Luzern (brother of Lawson)	63 years	[blank]

No location is given for this family plot.

However, Lake Creek in Jackson County usually refers to an area east of
White City off Highway 140.  There's a Lake Creek Loop Road.  Off of it
going south is the South Fork Little Butte Creek Road.  Off of that is a
dotted line labeled Lake Creek Road, which nearly parallels Lake Creek.

The Bradleys are in the 1870 Oregon census in Jackson County, with
Jacksonville listed as the Post Office.  That may not tell much because the
Jacksonville post office served a large geographic area...

Lawson Bradley, age 50, is the head of household, with his wife Angeline
43, and 3 children:  Jay 18, Eola 15, and Lucinda 8.  Real Property $200.
Personal Property $2000.  The previous household is headed by Horace J.
Terril.  These households are on p. 29.  On p. 35 is

Luzerne Bradley, age 54, farmer, living alone, real property $1500,
personal property 2500, b. OH

(so there should be land records).

In 1880 Angeline is living with her son-in-law and daughter, Geo. Nichols
and Eola, in Little Butte Pct, E.D. 50, p. 7.
