John S. Bradbury was a pioneer of the California Gold Rush. He was killed in the explosion of the steamboat Jenny Lind on the San Francisco Bay, between the present-day Dumbarton and San Mateo bridges. He left behind his wife Mary Bolles Bradbury (Burial in Riverview Cemetery Oxford NY as Mary B. Bolles) and newborn daughter Florence Amanda Bradbury(Forest Hill Cemetery, Pewaukee WI).
