Perhaps Northampton never had with
IN her limits more popular man than
sanford Spady. 1t is said of him that
no provocation, however great, could
induce him to speak evil of any one:
mat ne did not possess II single ungen-
tlemanly fibre i'll his nature, and that
he was esteemed by all who knew him.
he was elected and for eight years
laithtuily served the people of his coun-
~ as clerk of the courts-circuit and
county. Close confinement and the
seoentary character OF his official du-
Ties shattered his health, and at the
county elections in the spring of 1899
ne retired from public life, hoping
thereby that outdoor exercise and free
dom from official worriment would re-
store mis- enfeebled health and prolonp
his days. But such was not the case,
The ravishng hand of the DESTROYER
could not be stayed, and he passed
away as stated above. He was a
nephew of L. j. Spady. Esq. of Fast
vile, formerly commemorative Attor-
ney for Northampton county, and nm
married.
The obsequles were conducted in
Holmes Presbyterian Church, Bayview.
