Federal Union 8 Mar 1831
DIED
     On the 12th  February, Nathan Brady, jun. of Stewart county, formerly 
Representative of Randolph county in the Georgia Legislature.  Mr. Brady left 
home on the 10th for Troup county and after riding about 20 miles up the river, 
towards Columbus, he stoped to let his horse drink at a creek called Hitcheta, 
and while there he received a rifle ball of a large size, which entered back of 
the left shoulder, passed under the collar bone cutting the wind pipe, and came 
out the right side of his neck.  On receiving the ball, he fell forward, but 
the horse raising his head at the moment, caught him on his neck and prevented 
his falling off.  He held on to his horse and rode about 3 miles, to the 
nearest house, where he lingered till about one o’clock on the 12th, when he 
expired.  Mr. Brady is the third who has been killed at and near the same 
spot.  It is supposed that he was shot by an Indian, but his fact is not yet 
proven, as Mr. Brady did not see the person who fired.—Telegraph.
