Henry M. Bradley with several of his sons had an important part in
the historical development of the business and industry of Duluth and
this section of the middle northwest. He was a pioneer lumberman
both in northern Michigan and northern Minnesota. Successful in
business, his career was one of strictest integrity and honor, and his
death a few years ago marked the passing of one of the notable figures
in Duluth history.
He was a native of Massachusetts, but as a youth accompanied
his parents to Licking county, Ohio, where he became the owner of
a small saw mill. Shortly after his marriage to Mary E. Cook he
moved to Bay City, Michigan. There he built and operated one of
the first saw mills and was a pioneer in making Bay City a center of
lumber manufacture, a reputation it still bears. He gave up his
lumber business at Bay City in 1879, though he kept his home there
for several years. In 1880 Mr. Bradley came to Duluth and for two
years was engaged in locating vacant Government timber and mineral
lands under the old cash entry laws. Soon after January 1. 1882, the
