GEORGE BRADY, farmer on sec. 22, Aetna Tp., was born in Virginia, Feb. 18, 
1823, and is a son of Thomas and 

Jemima (Culver) Brady, who were natives of Canada.  The date of the father's 
birth is unknown, but he lived 

in Virginia all the early period of his life, and died in Seneca Co., Ohio, in 
1839.  The mother was born 

in 1811 and died at the age of 72 years, at the residence of her son, and was 
buried in the Morley 

Cemetery.  On the dath of his father the maintenance of the family devolved on 
Mr. Brady, and they soon 

after went to Sandusky Co., Ohio, where they remained until 1847, then going 
to Filton Co., Ohio, where 

they resided until 1856, the date of their settlement at Croton, Newaygo Co., 
and after a residence of two 

years they came to Aetna Tp., where they fixed their residence on 80 acres, 
which Mr. Brady had previously 

purchased.  It was all in timber, and Mr. Brady built the usual log house and 
sought his fortune in the 

lumber business.  The original purchase of 80 acres is now in a fine state of 
cultivation, well supplied 

with modern buildings except the house, which will soon be replaced by a 
suitable residence.

Mr. Brady is the oldest resident settler of Aetna Tp.  He was an inhabitant of 
the township seven years 

before its organization.  He was married in Fulton Co., OHio, Jan. a, 1862, at 
the age of 28, to Alvira, 

daughter of John and Permelia (Hadley) Davis, born Feb. 11, 1835; parents were 
natives of Ohio and of 

Scotch-Irish descent.  Mr. and Mrs. Brady have had eight children, six of whom 
survive:  Eugene, born Jan. 

5, 1854; Adelbert, May 20, 1856; Adaline, March 6, 1861; William, Aug. 10, 
1863; Isabell, Oct. 23, 1867.  

Those deceased are, Florence, born May 11, 1856, died July 15, 1857; a child 
born Sept. 1, 1872, died Nov. 

12, 1882.

Mr. and Mrs. Brady are active members of society, though of liberal religious 
views.  Mr. Brady is still in 

busy life, and, as a land inspector, has no rival.  He is independent in 
political thought and action.
