 Mt. Clemens Monitor, April 3, 1908
CADY, JOHN C.:  The funeral of John C. Cady, an old and highly esteemed 
resident of this vicinity, occurs from the M.E. church this afternoon.  Mr. 
Cady died Thursday morning, after a sickness of but a few days, of pneumonia.  
He was taken with a chill Thursday night and rapidly grew worse until the end 
came.
  John C. Cady was 77 years of age, and was born in Mt. Clemens in the old 
hotel, or tavern, kept by his father, the late Horace Cady, on the site of the 
present Sherman House.  Horace Cady was one of the veritable pioneers of 
Macomb county.  He died about 15 years ago, more than 80 years of age and was 
followed by his widow, "Aunt Susan" Cady, some years later, she being more 
than 90 years of age.  Horace Cady was brother to the late Chauncey Cady, who 
died at the age of 92.  The two older Cadys came to Michigan on the historic 
steamer, Walk-in-the-Water.
  Jno. C. Cady moved onto the farm in Macomb, that became the Cady homestead, 
and was a center of friendliness and hospitality for 50 years.  He lived there 
until he died, successfully engaged in farm work.  He was twice married, the 
fruit of the first union being a daughter, now Mrs. C.H. VanEps, of Chicageo, 
of the second a son, Horace Cady, of Detroit, and a daughter, Mrs. O. O. 
Lungerhausen of Mt. Clemens.  He leaves besides these a widow and two sisters, 
Mrs. L.H. Canfield of Mt. Clemens, and Mrs. Jordan, of chicago.  Another 
sister, Mrs. Rutter, of Romeo, died a few years ago.
  He was a man of excellent character whose life was centered in his work and 
the Methodist church of which he was all his life a devoted member.  He was 
endowed with a fine bass voice, and with his sister, Mrs. Canfield, also a 
gifted singer, was in large request at concerts and funerals for many years.  
He was a member of the Methodist choir when he died, and had been 65 years.
  Mr. Cady sold his farm to the Denewith brothers a short time ago, but the 
papers were not executed when he died.  He was arranging to come to Mt. 
Clemens to live.
