  CAREY CLARENCE BRADIN, M.D. - Several generations of Bradins in Tyrone 
have made the family name one to command respect and esteem in the borough.  
And Dr. Carey Clarence Bradin, a skillful and successful physician, has 
added considerably to the prominence and popularity of the family.  Dr. 
Bradin is a World War veteran, is well known in the medical and other 
fraternities and clubs, and he is an citizen of his natal borough.
  Dr. Bradin was born in Tyrone, December 9, 1886.  His father, Edward W. 
Bradin, a native of Tyrone, who died in 1908, had worked for the 
Pennsylvania Railroad System nearly all his life.  His mother Martha (Lloyd) 
Bradin, is a native of Philipsburg, Center County; she passed away July 30, 
1925.
  Dr. Bradin first attended the grade and high schools of Tyrone, and 
following graduation from the Tyrone High School, studied medicine in the 
Hahnemann Medical College, Philadelphia, from which he was graduated with 
the degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1912.  After obtaining his degree, Dr. 
Bradin served one year as an interne in the Hanemann Hospital in 
Philadelphia, and six months at the Pennsylvania State Homeopathic Hospital 
in Allentown.  In 1914 he returned to the borough of his nativity and began 
the general practice of medicine.  He has offices at No. 1106 Logan Avenue, 
and he has been extremely successful in practice, enjoying the confidence of 
his fellow-citizens.  Dr. Bradin had been in practice in Tyrone but three 
years when the United States entered the World War.  He offered his services 
to the government, and on September 8, 1917, he was commissioned a first 
lieutenant in the Medical Corps of the United States Army.  He joined Base 
Hospital No. 52 and served six months with it overseas.  He was discharged 
on February 5, 1919, with the rank of first lieutenant.  Dr. Bradin is a 
member of the American Medical Association, the Medical Society of the State 
of Pennsylvania, the Blair County Medical Association, Alpha Sigma Medical 
Fraternity, and the Tyrone Lodge of the Free and Accepted Masons, and 
Harrisburg Consistory.  He is also a member of Jaffa Temple, Ancient Arabic 
Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, and of the Tyrone Kiwanis Club, and the 
American Legion Post, in Tyrone.  He and the members of his family attend 
the Presbyterian Church of Tyrone.
  Dr. Bradin married, in Tyrone, in 1915, Florence Hesser, a native of that 
place, and of their union there are two children:  Martha J. and Mary 
Louise.
