To any Bradley researchers out there and to anyone who lives close enough to Higbee that might be able to identify this property. The following is a notice of sale because of default by J. S. Bradley (John Smith Bradley, the father of Omar) caused by his death. John Smith Bradley and his wife Bessie lived in Higbee with their son Omar, at the time of John's death in 1908. ( I have a transcript of the obituary if anyone is interested). Bessie took Omar and moved to Moberly, where she married on Christmas Day of 1910 a man named J. R. Maddox. I will post both the notice of sale and her remarriage. What I would like to know, is if this house is still standing and if so, if it has been listed on the Historical Register. If not, it might be a good idea for the local Historical Society to look into it for possible restoration and government funds to accomplish that purpose. Before someone jumps in her to tell me that Omar Bradley belongs to Clark, let me say that I know that Clark was his birthplace. However, John Bradley lived in Howard county for a while as well as in Higbee. Kathy Bowlin >From "The Higbee News" dated 30 Dec 1910--TRUSTEE'S SALE--Whereas, J. S. Bradley and S. B.
