The Commentator's Corner ' (By Joe Adams) Mrs. Jennie Kelly Bradbury, who died in her 91st year Saturday at Robinson, will no doubt be recalled by many of the older generation of Sullivan county. Mrs. Bradbury was the widow of the late P. G. Bradbury, promi-1 nent Illinois attorney and who was likewise known to countless persons on this side of the Wabash during his many years of practice. William E. and J. StanIcy Bradbury, sons of the couple, are likewise in practice at Robin- J son. widely known among the le- I

j.-, nib - reerjs of the Graysville section. The old Kelly homestead near Graysville may be the oldest house in Sullivan county, accord- j ing to information at hand. She married her late husband in Sullivan in 1879 and, incidentally, died in a hospital at Robinson on the very spot where her husband owned his first home and where the couple first lived. Mrs. Brad- ' bury was educated at old Merom College and Terre Haute State Normal. ' Those closest to her knew that ; she deeply loved her native Sullivan county and it always meant more to her than did her adopted county In politics she was a loyal Democrat and never failed during her long span of life to uphold the party.

With proper support Sullivan will have a team that will take a foremost place in semi-professional circles of this part of Indiana and Illinois, a position of prestige such as Sullivan baseball teams of yesteryear always enjoyed. Memories flash back to Sullivan's golden baseball days of the twenties to the Mutuals, Sho-Me's and many other teams that played and often beat' th,e best inheir class in the midwest. Others will recall teams of many years farther back that proudly wore the banner of Sul- . livan the Speedboys, no doubt, j and old Coffman Park. Sullivan is rich in baseball history and we believe it is still fertile ground upon which baseball can again blossom into a prominence that will make it a distinct asset to the community. Already plans have been started to rebuild the field, erect bleachers, even Inaugurate night baseball here this season. It's a cheerful ear full. .
