Here’s another post on the family of Richard Martin Bradshaw (1882 – 1957),\u00a0 focusing on his daughter Eileen. It’s a great story.\u00a0 Thanks once again to Jerry Juracich for writing this.\u00a0 \u00a0All the words below are his. It’s such a great piece, with so much detail, I wouldn’t presume to change a thing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s a link to the first post about Richard (Brad) Bradshaw<\/em><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

How Eileen met her dad, Richard Bradshaw<\/h1>\n

In 1918 Eileen Evelyn Bradshaw was born in Alamosa Colorado.\u00a0 Her mother, Myrtle Chase and Eileen\u2019s father, Richard M Bradshaw divorced before Eileen\u2019s earliest recollections.\u00a0 What Eileen knew of her father came from whatever her mother told her.\u00a0 Eileen lived with her mother, Myrtle until Myrtle died of breast cancer in 1927.\u00a0 No one knew how to find Eileen\u2019s dad, Richard, so after her mother\u2019s death Eileen lived with her mother\u2019s people, the Chases in north east California and Southern Oregon.\u00a0\u00a0 The Chases were poor people and none could afford to give her a permanent home.\u00a0 Eileen lived with one aunt and uncle after another until she finished high school. \u00a0Eileen then attended St. Joseph\u2019s Hospital College of Nursing in San Francisco and graduated with her RN.<\/p>\n

In 1940, Eileen married John N Juracich. \u00a0At the time Eileen was in St. Joseph Nursing School and John was in the Navy.\u00a0 Sometime after this, the ship John was on was torpedoed and sunk and the crew was forced to abandon ship.\u00a0 John and many of his fellow crewmen were rescued.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A few years after this, when John had reached the rank of W-4 warrant officer, John was on another ship that got torpedoed and sunk off the coast of Italy.\u00a0 After being rescued, based on his previous experience, John knew of the chaos that would follow.\u00a0 As an officer, John was able to send a telegram to Eileen telling her he was okay.\u00a0 In the ensuing chaos the Navy listed John among the dead and the San Francisco papers carried the story.\u00a0 Because John had been erroneously reported as dead, when he got out of the Navy, the San Francisco newspapers did a brief bio on him.\u00a0 The bio included the fact that he and his wife, the former Eileen Bradshaw now had a son.<\/p>\n

Richard Bradshaw left Colorado and ended up in the San Francisco bay area in California.\u00a0 Somewhere along the way Richard married Edna Cresswell.\u00a0 Edna saw the article in the San Francisco newspaper along with Eileen\u2019s maiden name, Bradshaw.\u00a0 She realized this could be the long lost daughter her husband had told her about.\u00a0 At that time Richard and Edna had a summer place in Almaden, California, about 25 miles from Los Altos, where John and Eileen lived.\u00a0 Father and daughter reunited.\u00a0 Of course there was some mistrust at first, but over the years they became very close.\u00a0 When Richard could no longer live alone he moved in with John and Eileen and spent his final years in their home.<\/p>\n

Told by Jerry Juracich, Eileen\u2019s son.<\/p>\n
