        Spenser and Desdamona Dady. He died on Sunday evening, March 6, 1892, at
        4:18 p.m. at his home in the fourth ward of Lincoln,  Illinois,  at  the
        age of 69 years, 7 months, and 13 days. He had suffered  for  some  time
        from what seemed to be a complication of diseases. William's mother died
        when he was a  young  age  and  his  father  moved  from  Monroe  County
        eventually settling in Venango County, Pennsylvania  where  he  met  and
        married Martha Hood. Prior to 1840, William moved  to  Trumbull  County,
        Ohio to live with his uncle Lester Dady and his family. On December  29,
        1842, William married Ameda Case and to this  union  six  children  were
        born the oldest being Mary Jane Dady,  who  was  named  after  William's
        sister, who died in 1843. William moved his family westward settling for
        a while in Marion, Ohio and then on to Lincoln, Logan County,  Illinois.
        William moved his family again in the middle  1850's  to  Mason  County,
        Illinois where his twin sons were born. By 1860,  William  had  returned
        his family to Lincoln, Illinois where he served  on  the  police  force.
        After the death of Ameda (Case) Dady  in  1870,  William  married  Sarah
        Skelly in 1876 and one son was born to the couple. William  is  survived
        by his wife, Sarah,  five  sons  William,  Charles  Sylvester,  Spencer,
        Gilbert, and Melvin; two daughters, Mary Jane and  Clarissa;  his  step-
        mother, Margaret Dady; one step-brother; and numerous grandchildren.  He
        was preceded in death by his  parents;  his  first  wife,  Ameda;  three
        brothers and two sisters; and eight step-brothers and  sisters.  Funeral
        services were held from the  Methodist  Protestant  Church  in  Lincoln,
        Illinois with the Reverend Turner officiating. Burial was in  the  Union
