Isaac Bradley, one of the well known farmers in the vicinity, owner of a farm about two miles north of the village, lost his life in the waters of Lake Winneconne, not far from the Omro club house on the south shore of that lake, on Thursday afternoon (11/11/1909), during a very severe storm which swept over the country between three and four o’clock Thursday afternoon. Mr. Bradley and others from this place were at the club house and went out in their hunting skiffs in quest of ducks. The weather was somewhat inclined toward the stormy quarter. When the storm commenced the hunters made a move to pick up their decoys, but the storm increased to such an extent that the decoys were left and the struggle to get to shore commenced. All succeeded after hard work to cover except Mr. Bradley, who was not seen after the storm, which did not last long. During the early evening and the night search for the missing man was carried on, as it had been a day since, but the only evidence found so far is his capsized skiff, which was found on Friday. Just where or how he met his death is not known and never will be. Mrs. Bradley and her family have the sympathy of the community in this trying time.

Body Held in Ice. Remains of Isaac Bradley of Omro Are Found at Clark’s Point
Winneconne Wisconsin., March 25.- The remains of Isaac Bradley, an aged farmer of Omro, who drowned last fall while hunting on Lake Poygan, were found early this morning by Edward Clark, at Clark’s point, near this place. The body was frozen in the ice, which had been pushed into Clark’s bay from the lake by the recent strong winds. Although the body was badly bloated, the identification was established with certainty by the son who lives in Winneconne, the clothing being that worn by Bradley when he went out on that fatal trip and was overtaken by a storm last fall. Ever since the ice gave way search has carried on in the belief that the body would be found. The remains were brought in this village and then removed to Omro.
