Obituary
Stanton W. Bradt
NORTH BETHLEHEM — Stanton W. Bradt had many interests. In his 86 years, he collected coins and watches, and tried to duplicate the varnish that is often credited with the distinctive quality of the great 17th century Italian violins.
He was a hunter and fisherman and a professional dowser. He charged $100 to find water, and gave back the money if the customer wasn't satisfied with the result.
"He chased many dreams," said his son, Guy, "and recently wrote a book on dowsing, hopefully to be published in the near future."
Mr. Bradt died Saturday, Sept. 15,2001 at the V. A. Medical Center in Albany following a long illness.
He was born January 7, 1915 in Knox, son of the late William and Nellie Countryman Bradt. He was a United States Army veteran of World War II.
Mr. Bradt worked on the Clute Dairy Farm in Guilderland as a young man and later in many different occupations, but primarily as a meat cutter and dowser. For a time he owned Stan's Delaware Market in Albany, and several newspaper articles were written over the years about his dowsing.
Mr. Bradt studied his hobbies. He read and collected books about pocket watches and coin collecting. His coin collection went to his grandson, Christopher Bradt.
Mr. Bradt had five violins in playable condition. "He had some he stripped and varnished to improve the sound," his son said. "He experimented with many materials, including something in the corner of beehives that hardens."
Guy Bradt said his father didn't play the violin, but had a friend who did. "He would apply the varnish, bring [the violin] to this guy, and get the lowdown on it," Guy Bradt said. "He got to the point where he was happy with what he had, but he never was ready to take it into a factory, or give it to someone else."
In addition to his son, Guy S. Bradt of Scotia, survivors include two daughters, Laraine McDade McCumber of Guilderland and Donna Bradt Tenace of Schenectady; four grandchildren: Mark, Shawn, and Scott McCumber and Christopher Bradt; six great-grandchildren, Daniel, Jessica, Chelsea, Hunter, Jake and Adam McCumber; and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
A graveside service will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 23, at Mt. Pleasant Cemetery in New Salem. Arrangements are by Fredendall Funeral Home in Altamont. Memorial contributions may be made to Community Hospice of Albany, 445 New Karner Road, Albany, NY 12205.
