About 1850 Dr. Bradfield built his house near Danby on the Rush Tower Road. It is still standing, although it has been remodeled. He had his office in a room which later became the dining room with wide hand dressed boards on (the) floor put together with square, home-forged nails. The ceiling still shows the original hand-hewn beams with the marks of the axe upon them. All his obstetrical practice was consummated in the homes of the patients, many times the good doctor stayed until daybreak waiting for the tardy birth of a child. Many residents of Danby remember hearing their parents say that Dr. Bradfield had brought them into the world.
