Here is a bit of snippets taken from the 'Bloomfield Vindicator' the
newspaper in Bloomfield MO. I am also including some from the families
they married into.

April 4,1885
A. S. Bradford was up from Essex Wednesday. He informed us that he
lost his infant child last Sunday.

May 16, 1885
J. A. Hambleton and his daughter, Miss Amanda, and W. J. Hux of
Essex, attended the ball here (Dexter) Tuesday eve.

July 25, 1885
D. H. Hambleton and Mrs. R. A. Parting were married at Gray's Ridge
last Friday.

Aug 1, 1885
W. B. Page, brother-in-law to A. S. Bradford, died in the lower part
of Dunklin county on the 10th of this month (July) leaving two children.
Mr. Bradford will take control of the children and will act as their
guardian.
We failed to note the death of J. A. Hambleton's little girl, Birdy,
who was 11 years and 10 months old. She died on the 12 of this month
(July), and as they were taking the corpse to the grave yard, the team
became frightened and ran away, throwing the corpse and the inmates out of
the wagon, but unfortunately no serious damage was done.
