BRADFORD SHINKLE DEAD

Mr. Bradford Shinkle, capitalist, died yesterday morning at 10:30 o'clock at the residence, 165 East Second street, Covington Ky., of a complication of ills.

Bradford Shinkle was born in Higginsport, Ohio, 63 years ago. He was the son of Amos Shinkle, founder of the Protestant Children's Home, who died some years ago. Young Shinkle was educated at Miami College, Oxford Ohio, and was a classmate of the late Charles B. Simrall. Soon after entering school the war between the states began, and his father was made Colonel of the local Home Guards. Bradford Shinkle found his books unbearable during all the war excitement, and after repeated requests his father permitted him to come home, and he was made in Adjutant under his father, later resuming his studies.

Mr. Shinkle's first wife was Miss Anna Hemingray, sister of Daniel Hemingray, glass manufacturer. She died many years ago, and some years later Mr. Shinkle was married to another sister of Mr. Hemingray. No man in this community was more closely identified with the commercial world than Bradford Shinkle, and his financial interests were extensive. He was president of Covington and Cincinnati Bridge Company, President of the Champion Ice Company and a Director of the Protestant Children's Home, of which his father was the founder. He was also a director of the First National Bank of Covington, the Fifth Third National Bank of Cincinnati, the Shinkle, Wilson & Kreis Grocery Company, Cincinnati; the Ice Delivery Company, Cincinnati; the Highland Cemetery, the Covington and Lexington Turnpike Company, the Hemingray Glass Company and a member of the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce and Queen City and Commercial Clubs. He also held stock in a great many other corporations and held large real estate interests.

Mr. Shinkle had two summer homes —one near Watch Hill, R. I., and the other on the Lexington pike, six miles from Covington. The Shinkle city residence was one of the points of interest for visitors to Covington, and not the least attractive feature of it was the magnificent flower gardens, maintained under his personal supervision.

Mr. Shinkle leaves a widow and three children —Mrs. Frank B. Cross, A. Clifford Shinkle and Bradford Shinkle, Jr.

The funeral will take place Monday afternoon at 12:30 o'clock. Rev. Dr. Davidson of the First Baptist Church officiating.

The pallbearers will be Charles Wilson, Benjamin Wilson, James Minor, N [sic] R. G. Hemingray and D. C. Hemingray.

President Charles E. Roth, of the Chamber of Commerce, appointed James M. Glenn, Charles A. Hinsch, J. R. Minor, Edward Rawson and A. Janszen as a committee to draft resolutions on his death. Mr. Shinkle was a member of the Chamber of Commerce for many years.
