Occupation:
According to a 1904 newspaper article commemorating the 75th birthday of Mary Rankin Bradrick, shortly after Isaiah and Mary were married in Ohio, "they moved to Burlington, Iowa, afterward moving to Mt. Pleasant, Henry county, Iowa, where the Rev. Bradrick took up the work of raising the money to pay off the indebtedness of the Iowa Wesleyan University, which is today one of the oldest and best known Methodist colleges in Iowa. To this work he gave the best years of his life. After completing this great undertaking, Brother Bradrick entered the M. E. Iowa Conference. He was presiding elder on the Burlington and Muscatine districts for many years, and filled nearly all the important pulpits in the Iowa Conference. He was considered one of the ablest preachers in the West. The town of Bradrick, Ohio, was named for Rev. I. A. Bradrick and his name is well remembered by many of the [older?] people of that [now?] thriving Buckeye town."
