Ionia Daily Sentinel Standard, 3 Nov 1942

Arthur Edgar Bradt, a prominent merchant and undertaker in Lyons for many years,
died suddenly Monday noon at his home in Lyons as the result of a heart attack.
 He had been ill for several months but death was unexpected.

Born December 11, 1865 in Hannibal, N.Y., he was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar
H. Bradt.  He came to Muir with his parents when a small child.  His father died
when he was five years old and his mother died when he was 15.  After the death
of his mother, he left his home in Muir and returned to New York and at the age
of 19 returned to Muir where he was married March 16, 1887 to Lucy E. Daskam of
Muir.

The couple moved to Lansing where he was employed by a building firm and later
in a similar business firm in Muir.  In 1895 the couple made their home in Lyons
where Mr. Bradt began a furniture business.  With the late Thomas Hawley, he
formed a partnership in the undertaking business which he continued alone after
the death of Mr. Hawley.  His health failed him about seven years ago and
although he had retained his furniture store, he was no longer active in it.

For six years, he and Mrs. Bradt spent their winters in Florida with the
exception of the past two years when they have been unable to go.  Mr. Bradt was
a member of the Lyons Methodist church.

Surviving are his wife, Lucy; two daughters, Mrs. Chester (Gladys) Retallic of
Detroit and Mrs. William (Bernice) Weisgerber of Ionia; three grandchildren and
three great-grandchildren.

Funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the home in
Lyons.  Rev. Gerald Jacobs of Lyons will officiate assisted by Rev. Howard
Fuller of the LeValley Methodist church.  Burial will be in Lyons cemetery.
