OBITUARY RECORD

  Mrs. Elizabeth Grady, widow of the late James S. Grady, died at the 
home of her daughter, Mrs. John I. Patterson, on Blair avenue, at 5.30 
o'clock yesterday morning from Bright's disease and complications.  
Deceased had been bedfast but a week, but had been failing in health 
for some years past.  During the past six years she was the victim of 
four hard falls, in which bones were broken.  In one of these she 
fractured her hip, shoulder and wrist.  Her remarkable vitality pulled 
her through, to the great surprise of her physician and family, who 
thought her advanced age would be too much of a handicap.  Mrs. Grady, 
whose maiden name was Forsythe, was born at Mount Etna on February 14, 
1840.  She was married at Burnham, October 14, 1862, to James S. Grady.  
They came to Tyrone in 1882.  She had been a member of the First 
Methodist Episcopal church for many years and was active in church 
societies.  She was also a member of the Women's Relief Corps of this 
place.  She leaves a son and two daughters: Joseph Grady, of 
Brackenridge; Mrs. John I. Patterson, of Blair avenue; Mrs. Sydney 
Bauch, of Sinking valley.  She also leaves two sisters: Mrs. Belle 
Tyson, of Lebanon; Mrs. Barbara Weaver, of Reading.  Funeral services 
will be held from the home of her daughter, Mrs. Patterson, on Blair 
avenue, tomorrow afternoon at 2.30 o'clock, in charge of Rev. George M. 
Glenn, of the First Methodist Episcopal church, assisted by Rev. E. G. 
Sawyer, past of the First United Brethren church.  Interment in Grand 
View cemetery.
