Grady

At his home, 408 East Eighth street, Sunday morning at 8:30 o’clock, occurred the death of Patrick Grady at the age of 78 years. He has been suffering from the effects of an accident which occurred five weeks ago.

He was born in Mountmellick, Queen’s county, Ireland Oct. 31, 1824 and came to the United States in 1848 and remained in the east in the employ of an uncle, Michael Malone, in the construction of the New York & Erie Railway. He came west in 1853, making his home in Davenport, where he has since resided. In 1858, he was married to Miss Rose Reignan who survives besides three children, John C., Sadie and Thomas Grady, all of Davenport. Two sisters, Mrs. Gervase Dawson, of Philadelphia, and Mrs. M. Conway, of St. Louis, Mo., also survive.

Mr. Grady was a member of the police department during the years of 1874-1878, under mayors Rose and Dow. He was affiliated with the A. O. H., under whose auspices the funeral will be held at 9 o’clock Tuesday morning from the late residence, 408 East Eighth street, with services at the Sacred Heart cathedral, and interment at St. Marguerite’s cemetery.
