James Grady, Sr. died at his home in this town on Tuesday, Feb. 11,
1908 at the age of 69 years 7 months and 29 days.  Mr. Grady settled in
this town on the farm where he died about the year 1870.  He was taken
sick on Sunday the 9th inst. but after a visit from his physician he 
seemed to recover rapidly. Tuesday he was up around the house playing
with his grandchildren until about 1:30 p.m. when he suffered a stroke
of appoplexy from which he died at 3 p.m.  He leaves surviving him
three sons—James, Jr. of Great Falls, Mont., Michael of Trimbelle and
Roger of Comet, Mont.  The funeral services were held last Friday
morning at the Big River Catholic Church and his remains buried beside
those of his wife who died in July 1884, and their children who died in
infancy.  As a boy of nine or ten years of age the writer will always
remember his kindly genial smile which was familiar to all his neighbors
and friends.  Extending our sympathies to the surviving members of the
family who were old playmates and schoolmates, we bid our old friend
who is gone farewell.  James Grady, Jr. came home to the funeral of his
father.  Roger was so far from telegraph communications that he did not
get the telegram in time to come.  Mrs. Samuel Shanks of Brainard,
Minn. Mother of Mrs. Michael Grady, was down to the funeral.
