Dady, Jerry, farmer, Greenfield, is among the early residents of Wabasha
county, having come to Wabasha in 1855. In 1856 he settled on his present
farm. His residence is on section 35, and he has a large farm, part of
which lies in Watopa township. Mr. Dady was born in Castle Grogery, County
Kerry, Ireland and was reared on the farm that had been for many
generations in possession of his ancestors. His education was supplied by
rate schools, and remained there until thirty years old. He then married
Nora O'Donnell, a native of the same parish, and together they set out to
make a home in America. For several years he was employed in railroad
construction in Vermont, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. From the latter state
he came to Minnesota as above related. He has been industrious, and has
thereby secured a competence. In public affairs he has always sustained
the Democratic party, as have his sons, and all the members of his family
are in good standing in the Roman Catholic church at Wabasha. There are
five children, resident as follows: Eugene, Warren, Minnesota; Mary (Mrs.
Maurice Durgan), Black River Falls, Wisconsin; Nora (John Drysdale),
Kellogg; Michael, Wabasha; John, at home. The latter is the prop of his
parents in their old age, and is a rising young man. He is now serving the
third successive term as town clerk.
