Jim Bradfield


Jim Bradfield was a young 61 years of age. He, his wife, Phyllis, and their three sons, Edmund, John and Philip, left Barnesville some 17 years ago.

He had been president of the McClelland-Kennard grocery company, and upon its sale to POMCO, had decided to embark upon a teaching career. From Barnesville the Bradfields went to Strasburg, Ohio for two years, and then to Lebanon where they had remained. At Lebanon, "Jim" was a vocational teacher, and for 10 years lent his skills to the school's wrestling program as a member of the coaching staff. He retired last June from full-time service, but not from part-time duties.

Last Wednesday had found him teaching a full day in Lebanon as a substitute instructor, and then hurrying to Madison High School in Middletown to help coach that school's wrestlers. Following wrestling practice, he had found time to buy his wife a Valentine card and gift before hustling back to Lebanon to fill in for the Madison head mat coach at a tournament drawing. The drawing was set for 6:15. He would have made it on time had not his car been struck at that intersection.
