There's a couple entries in the Warner's Beaver county, PA History of 1888: There's a link to Walter Braden according to the second entry after this one, but here's something first! Walter S. Braden was a postmaster for New Brighton, appointed March 1, 1886. Walter S. Braden (East side), postmaster, New Brighton, was born in Beaver Falls, March 15, 1853, is the eldest son of A. B. C.R. (Boyle) Braden, who had nine children. His grandfather, John Braden, came from Ireland about 1790 soon afterward settled in Beaver county, where he was a farmer. He married Catherine McIntyre, who bore him 12 children; A. B. the youngest, was a farmer in early life, later engaged in mercantile business is now living a retired life in Beaver falls. Walter S. attended the common schools, the Iron City College at Pgh., from which institution he was graduated in 1872. He has been engaged in the mercantile real estate businesses. He was married in 1879 to Miss E.E. Goddard, daughter of John Goddard, of this town, they have four children: Laura, Edith, Karl, Naomi. Mr. Braden was appointed postmaster in 1886. He is a member of the Royal Arcanum; in politics a Democrat. If you know of other names let me know there are other names. It's always interesting doing these look-ups. I learn allot about Beaver counties pioneers every time I do these! Cool. Hope I helped.

John Braden, Sr., having grown up to manhood, became the owner of a farm near Youngstown, Ohio, and resided on the same until the breaking out of the war of 1812 with Great Britain, when he joined the army and served therein until the close of the war. After the war John Braden, Sr., was married to Katherine McIntyre, daughter of William McIntyre, who was a native of Scotland, and in early times had migrated to this country, settling at Hagerstown, Md. John Braden and his wife Katherine, after their marriage, removed from near Youngstown Ohio, to Chippewa township, Beaver county, where they lived for over fifty years, having born to them a large family, amongst whom was John D. Braden, the only one of the family who resides in Washington county. Would love to correspond with anyone who knows about this family.
