About Mary Josephine Bradley
Josephine Crane was a student at the University of Wisconsin when she met her future husband, Harold Cornelius Bradley. Born deaf, she had remained functionally deaf, dumb, and illiterate until age eight when she came under the wing of Alexander Graham Bell. After learning lip reading, she quickly caught up academically, breezed through grade school and high school, became a gifted dramatist and conversationalist, learned French and German while traveling with her father, and picked up American Sign Language so she could communicate with Helen Keller.
Josephine and Harold had eight children. The first, Mary, died at age seven; seven brothers followed and survived her. [Bio. from FAG member #46565033]
