Dr. Ira S. Bradner, died at 10:30 o'clock, last night, of heart disease and general debility, aged seventy four years, four months and twenty two days. He had been in failing health for some time and became noticeably worse in the early part of the week. He was forced to take to his bed, on Tuesday but would not remain there. He grew steadily weaker as the hours passed and the end came last night, as above stated.
Dr. Bradner was born in the town of Goshen in 1820. he was educated at the Farmer's Hall Academy, in Goshen, and at Princeton College, from which he graduated in 1840. He studied medicine with Dr. J. W. Ostrom, of Goshen, and graduated from the Medical Department of the University of New York in 1843. He began his practice of his profession at Scotchtown, and remained there until 1857, where he removed to this city.
Although trained in the old school of practice, Dr Bradner became interested, in 1850, in the study of the theories of Hahnemann, and continuing his investigations he became so impressed with the teachings of the Great Master of Homeopathy, that he made up his mind to adopt that form of practice and resigning from the Orange County Medical Society, he, in company of a number of other physicians who had also become converts to homeopathy, organized the Orange County Homeopathic Medical Society. He was elected Secretary and Treasurer of the society, a position which he held for many years.
In 1863 he was appointed assistant surgeon of the 56th Regiment, N.Y. V., Col Van Wyck's Tenth Legion, with the rank of Major. He was in the service until the close of the war and was on duty for two years and seven months on Sea Island.
Dr. Bradner was married Oct 5th, 1843, to Sarah Jane, daughter of John G. and Susan Bronson Houston, of Scotchtown, who survives him. Seven children were born to them, of whom Thomas and William died in infancy and Dr. Fred H., fourteen years ago. The survivors are Dr. Julia E Bradner, Mrs. Susan F. Hathaway, Recorder John Fremont Bradner and Miss Isabel G. Bradner, all of this city.
Dr. Bradner was a careful studious physician, who enjoyed in the fullest degree the confidence of his patients. When in his prime he commanded a very large practice and was often called in consultation by homeopathic physicians in other places who had implicit faith in his professional skill. He was a good husband and kind father and enjoyed the respect and esteem of all who knew him. He was for many years a member of the First Presbyterian Church.
The funeral will be from his late residence, Friday afternoon, at 2 o'clock and will be private. Friends who desire to the body may call at the house between 9 and 11 o'clock, that morning.
