Bradbury 1893, may have died 1939 ... need photo ... cannot find anywhere on net or library, he was a spiritualist, maybe like old lady Winchester, who did not allow her picture to be taken?! please help ... need photo!

Hi! I'm glad you re-posted. I had answered your last question and deleted it when I discovered, after the fact, that he died in 1900. and the photo says 1934. I searched high and low ...this is the only photo I found and I can't corroborate that it's the same man... but you never know... the internet's not always right and.. like you said.. he was a spiritulist:) :
What I did find unusual and most coincidental was the name/mining connection:
"The unique work of an otherwise conservative career, this daring and unusual office building owes as much to the remarkable vision of Wyman's patron Louis Bradbury, a self-made mining tycoon, as it does to an autodidact architect's exceptional talent." The five-story Bradbury Building is completed at Los Angeles to designs by draftsman George Wyman, 32, for mining millionaire-turned-developer Lewis Bradbury, who has died a few months earlier.
The rich mining investor Louis Bradbury, native American of the State of California that was the main shareholder of the " Mining Company of the Edge " that in those years operated the richest gold mine and silver.

So... the mining connection might not be too much of a stretch. It's all I could find.... I tried!
