EZEKIEL BRADING CALLED HOME
After months of intense suffering, Ezekiel Brading died, Tuesday morning, at the home of his son Ezra, four miles north of this city. His demise was not unexpected for he had been near Death's door for many days with his faithful sons and daughters at his side. The funeral was held from the M. E. Church Wednesday afternoon at 2:30, Rev. Canfield of that church officiating. The music was furnished by a quartet composed of Mrs. Paul Cash, Miss Anna Rutherford, and Messrs. Dick Weaver and O. L. Minter. There were a number of appropriate and very beautiful floral offerings. The remains were laid to rest in Oakland Cemetery.

Ezekiel Brading, son of James and Margaret Bradford Brading, natives respectively of Pennsylvania and Ohio, was born in Muskingum County, Ohio on October 24, 1833 and he died near Oakland, Illinois, October 31, 1914, aged 78 years and 7 days.

He was one of seven children, two sisters and three brothers surviving him. The elder Bradings removed from Ohio to Edgar County, in 1857, and with them their seven children. In 1859 Ezekiel was united in marriage to Miss Judith Campbell who with the five children survive him. The children are Mrs. Margaret Allen of Balcow, Mo., Ezra, Ed., William A., of Oakland and D. A. of Charleston. The children with many grandchildren were all home to attend the funeral. During his life he lived near Ashmore, at Kansas, where he was a shoemaker, and near Oakland, and he spent a few months in Oakland a year ago. He was not a member of a church but he firmly believed in Christianity and often expressed himself ready to go. He is characterized by those who knew him best as a good man, a loving father and a kind husband.

The Messenger extends the sincerest sympathy to the bereaved dons and daughter and the widow.
