One of the men who has always take a sane, sound view of agricultural matters, with definite results, is John MALADY of Mazon Township, owner of 200 acres of fine farming land, 160 acres of which are located in Mazon and forty in Wauponsee Township. He was born at Morris, June 18, 1857, a son of Michael and Hannah (WALSH) MALADY. Both parents were born in Ireland. Michael MALADY left his native land when young and came direct to Grundy County, Ill. John MALADY grew up in Grundy County, and attended public school in the vicinity of his home. Having decided to become a farmer, he concentrated his efforts along agricultural lines, was always a hard worker, and has made a success of his undertakings. On November 7, 1882, Mr. MALADY was united in marriage by Father FITZSIMMONS of Morris Immaculate Conception Church, with Margaret J. McCARTNEY, who was born in the home where they are now living, March 12, 1857. She is a daughter of John W. and Ellen (CALWELL) McCARTNEY, natives of Ireland. Four children were born to Mr. and Mrs. MALADY: John P., born March 9, 1885, died February 13, 1905; Ellen L., born March 17, 1887, died October 14, 1897, buried in Mt. Carmel Cemetery; and two who died in infancy. Mr. and Mrs. MALADY now live on Mrs. MALADY's old homestead where she has lived all her life excepting a few years spent near by in Mazon Township, and one year in Livingston County. They are members of the Roman Catholic Church at Morris. In national affairs Mr. MALADY votes with the Democratic party, but in local matters uses his own judgment. page 858 Additional Comments: Source: History of Grundy County, Illinois, Chicago: Munsell Publishing Co.
