Orpha Dell Bradley
Orpha Dell Bradley was born in Nodaway County, Mo., Sept. 23, 1878 and passed away at her home in Bedford Sunday evening, Jan. 25, 1920. Most of her girlhood days were spent in and around Page County, Iowa. She used every available opportunity given her in the common schools to excellent advantages, later completing her training in Quincy, Ill., and Drake University.
She possessed such powers that she became a great force as a teacher, both in high schools and colleges. She taught in Deer Lodge, Montana; Beatrice, Nebr.; North Bend, Oregon, and her last days in the teaching profession were worthily spent in Bethel Academy, St. Paul. In the ministry of teaching she will long be remembered, especially by those who came to know the beautiful combination of her teaching powers and queenly grace of character.
Wherever her life was shared with friends and loved ones she gave herself unstintedly and ungrudgingly, making everyone to feel that her life was too big for the confines of her own self. Her life was woven with the homespun of common things, not thinking herself above the lowliest, taking in the whole world into the democracy of her affections. Hers was an uncomplaining spirit and tho she must have borne unspeakable suffering for many days, yet she did not want to intrude her trials upon others. In July 1918 she underwent an operation at the Mayo’s for a cancerous growth of the most malignant nature. From this disease she never recovered until death claimed her body, but through it all her spirit was unconquerable, rejoicing in everlasting hope
She leaves to mourn her loss an affectionate mother, five brothers, three sisters---Era [Eura], Orton, Ira, Rebecca, Glen, Nina, Loy, and Fae---besides a host of relatives and friends.
Her glorious hope so beautifully evidenced throughout her life, was strong and buoyant in the last hours.
Her faith, her eternal longing could not be better expressed than the lines from Tennyson, she wrote in her own Bible.
