Alfred Louis Grady
1918 - 1934

Alfred Louis Grady was the only son of Albert "Ab" Grady and Edith nee Dungey 
Grady.  Alfred was born 18 Nov 1918 in Calvin Township, Cass County, Michigan.  

Alfred attended public school in Calvin until 1932, when he sacrificed home and 
hoping to learn a trade attended the Vocational Training School in Flint 
Michigan.   While he was home on vacation, at Christmas, he contracted a severe 
cold, from which he never fully recovered.  It was stated Alfred was kind and 
had a pleasing disposition because of these attributes he was favorite among 
his playmates and friends.  

On Friday, 16 Mar 1934, at one o'clock, after a brief and gallant fight against 
lobar pneumonia at Hurley Hospital in Flint, Alfred Louis Grady was plucked 
from his youth at the tender age of 15 years, three months and 28 days.

Alfred left to mourn his loss, his parents, Albert and Edith Grady of Cass 
County; his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Bennett of Cass County; Mr. and 
Mrs. Albert Grady, Sr. of South Bend, Indiana, Mr. and Mrs. Elisha Young of 
Ohio; one aunt, Ethel Skinner of South Bend;, five uncles, Efton and Charles 
Dungey of South Bend, Elton Hayes of Michigan City, Indiana and Russell and 
Otis Bennett of Cass County. 

Interment at Chain Lake Cemetery, Calvin Township, Cass County, Michigan next 
to his parents. His tombstone is homemade and composed of concrete and stone 
with hand carved numerals and lettering.
