Albert L. Bradbury, one of the progressive and enterprising young farmers of green Lake county, Wis., who now resides 
on section 34 in the town of Green Lake, is the son of William H. and Julia A. (Staples) Bradbury, who are mentioned 
elsewhere in this volume. He was born on the 7th of August, 1858, on the farm where he now makes his home. His early 
school privileges were such as the district schools afforded, byt subsequently he attended school at Nashville, Ill., 
where he completed his education. Being now prepared for almost any business pursuit, he looked about him to determine 
what vocation he would rather follow, but chose that to which he had been reared. He returned to the farm and has since 
engaged in its cultivation, now operating 288 acres of land.

On the 2nd of february, 1887, Mr. Bradbury was united in marriage to Miss Nora Cooper, daughter of Joseph H. and Lydia 
(McCauley) Cooper. She also was a native of Green Lake county, having been born in this community on the 24th of October,
1863. This worthy couple are widely known in the county and hold a high position in the social world. They began their 
domestic life upon the farm which is still their home. In connection with the cultivation of his land, Mr. Bradbury 
denotes considerable attention to stock raising, making a specialty of sheep and horses. He raises only the best grades 
and has done much to improve the stock in the county. He is a wide awake and industrious young farmer, possessing 
excellent business ability and will no doubt be very successful in life.
