Beyond Hauptley’s entry and her cedar marker, Marjorie Bradley doesn’t show up in any other records in Washington. However, in the June 1880 Seabeck census there was a Dennis Bradley (spelled Bratley) who was listed as a 33 year old widower born in Ireland who worked in the saw mill. There were also two children named Elizabeth Bradley (born 1875 in Nova Scotia) and Johnnie Bradley (born 1878 in the Washington Territory) who were listed as boarders living in Thomas Degnell’s household. There were no other Bradley residents living in Seabeck at this time, so there’s a good chance Dennis and Marjorie were husband and wife, and Elizabeth and Johnnie were their children.

Marjorie was buried with a simple wooden cross as a marker that read:  “Sacred to the memory of Marjorie Bradley Native of Ireland Died January 22, 1880 Amen” A photo of her marker was taken by Adele Ferguson in the 1950s and published in the local newspaper.
