DEATH OF JOHN o. BRADY.
Wealthy Farmer Passes Away in the
S1st Year Of His Age.

John o. Brady. one of the best-known citi-
zens in lower Prince Georges county, Nd,
died yesterday morning, shortly before 8
o clock at his home in Forestville, that
county, in the eighty-frst year of his age.

lection and a stroke Of paralysis. Mr..
Brady's second wife, three children and
eight grandchildren survive him. The lat
ter are Mrs. James Bean and Mrs. Isaiah
Jones Of Prince Georges county and Mr..
A. o. Brady, business man Of Anacostia.
The deceased had been an active man al
most to the day Of his death. He had been
engaged in agricultural pursuits and had
the management of seven farms in Mary

vised personally. Six of these are in Prince
Georges county.
Mr. Brady began life in humble circum-
stances working hard as a boy and later
becoming an overseer in the county. He
worked in the District when some of the
most prominent parts of the city were little
more than tfllage places. This fact he often
recalled in his "reminiscences of those days.
He was esteemed by large circle of
friends. No less than seventeen orphan
children owe the start given them in the
pursuits Of life to Mr.. Brady's charity.

lam II. Craighill, the pastor. will officiate.
