(Annexed to Medford, 1817.) [To be continued.] Rev. Elijah Horr, D. D. The earthly life of Rev. Elijah Horr, acting pastor of the Mystic Congregational Church, terminated at his home in Malden, February 14, 1904. His decease was a shock to his people, and a deep grief to the large circle which loved him as a friend and esteemed him for his manly and ministerial qualities. Dr. Horr was born in Carthage, N. Y., April 20, 1841. He was educated in the institutions of his native state, and the theological department of Boston University. On the completion of

The Bradburys of Medford and their ancestry. by Eliza M. Gill. [Read before the Medford Historical Society, April 7, 1906.] Continued from Vol. IX., No. 3. WILLIAM, the third child of Captain Wymond Bradbury, after he settled in Medford remained here, and his children spent their lives here. His name does not appear on the Malden tax list. When of age he must have left the Malden home, settled in Medford, and engaged in business, for he was assessed a poll tax in 1791, and the following year had personal property. He was married by Dr. Osgood, October 14, 1795 (the good minister's diary verifies the fact), to Elizabeth Floyd of Medford, who was born July 14, 1768. She was the daughter of Andrew and Elizabeth (Bradshaw) Floyd, who were married October 31, 1765. Her father came from Roxbury; her mother was descended from John Bradshaw, one of the earliest recorded tax payers of Medford. William and Elizabeth Bradbury had a family of eight children.

In 1795 it was the only house standing, and was occupied by Captain Wymond Bradbury, a mariner, formerly of Newburyport. The promontory, extending into the marshes now known as Wellington, was first called Wilson's point, then Blanchard's point. The earlier records all call the place Wilson's or Blanchard's point, Charom Porter's corner, southeast to Wellington farm, Ship street. This name remained until November 15, 1872, when it was voted at town meeting that the name of Ship street be changed to Riverside avenue. Bradbury avenue was named for Captain Wymond Bradbury, who owned the farm in 1795. Cradock avenue gets its name from the founder of Medford. Ship street ended at the Red Gate, the entrance to Wellington farm, which was owned and tilled by the brothers Isaac and James Wellington, their
