Mason family of TN>Tulare, CA

I saw this request at the Tulare County message board at Ancestry.com:

"Eldorado "Rade" Mason of White Co. Tennessee married Alice Hamilton in Tennessee in 1896 and moved his family of 7 children (so far) to Dinuba, Tulare Co. between 1910 and 1913, the children were Frank, Beulah, Kilmer, Halley, Linnie May, Leo Boles and Walter. They settled in Dinuba and had 4 more children: Leroy, Hollis, Wallace and Ray. My late 1st husband was the grandson of Leo Boles and Helen Margaret (Nelson) Mason thru their son Donald Dean Mason. Leo Boles died in Fresno in 1968, Donald Dean in Oakhurst in 1995. Any information on the ancestors or descendants of this family are appreciated! Obits would be GREAT if anyone has any. Thanks, Heather Mason-Clark"

I was very pleased to have found both the obituary for Rade Mason and his wife, Alice Hamilton-Mason, in the Fresno Bee Republican newspaper:

Fresno Bee Republican, 29 June 1942

Fresno Bee Republican, 17 February 1955

I hope that these obituaries will prove to be helpful. Please let me know if there is any way that I can help.

Alice Rebecca BRADLEY

I saw this request at the Tulare County message board at Genealogy.com:

"i am looking for any family information on alice rebecca mcclure - married name bradly. dont know first name of man she married. she was born 6 of june 1876, died 10 feb 1945 in tulare? i am related. she had a sister ethel maebel mcclure, married name driscoll. i would like to find living family and info. thanks"


Alice Rebecca MCCLURE was married to Charles Edward BRADLEY. I found the couple with their young daughter, Emily, in the 1910 Federal Census (Lindsay, Tulare County):

Charles BRADLEY, age 30, born in Ireland
Alice BRADLEY, age 33, born in Missouri
Emily BRADLEY, age 4, born in California

By 1920, the couple had two sons, Kenneth Edward BRADLEY (1912-1956) and Herbert R. BRADLEY (1914-1973). In the federal census (again in Lindsay, Tulare County), your relative, Ethel DRISCOLL, and her daughter, Helen, were recorded in the household:

C. E. BRADLEY, age 38, born in Ireland
Alice BRADLEY, age 44, born in Missouri
Emily BRADLEY, age 10, born in California
Kenneth BRADLEY, age 7, born in California
Herbert BRADLEY, age 5, born in California
Ethel DRISCOLL, age 34, born in Missouri
Helen DRISCOLL, age 5, born in California

Charles and Alice had divorced by 1930 and Alice was recorded as head of household in the federal census (Lindsay, Tulare County):

Alice BRADLEY, age 53, born in Missouri
Kenneth BRADLEY, age 17, born in California
Herbert BRADLEY, age 10, born in California

Charles Edward BRADLEY died in Tulare County on 18 June 1937. He and Alice are both buried in Visalia Cemetery.
