PIONEER CITIZEN DIED SUDDENLY WEDNESDAY
Death claimed another pioneer Hearne citizen Wednesday in the person of P. L. Brady, Sr., who passed away quietly as he sat by his fireside at his colonial home on Market street near the site where his family settled sixty-five or more years ago.
Mr. Brady was alone when the last call came, and it was when a member of his family went to remind him that it was lunch time that the fact of his death was learned.
Mr. Brady, whose wife Mrs. Jessie Mathews Brady died not quite two years ago, is survived by four sons, P. L. Brady, Jr. and Alfred Brady of Hearne; Ed Brady of Valley Junction; Dr. Jesse Brady of Austin; four daughters, Mrs. M. V. Carson of Somerville; Mrs. Emery Hughes of Austin; Mrs. Albert Thompson of Woodville, and Sister Irene, sister of charity in an Alton, Ill. hospital. There are twenty-one grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
Peter Louis Brady, born in St. Louis, Mo., seventy-six years ago, came to Hearne with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Brady, when a lad of ten years or thereabout, and had lived here continuously since.
An outstanding figure in Hearne as a worthy, upright, conscientious and forward looking citizen, Mr. Brady was called to various posts of honor and responsibility during his long and useful life.
He served the town as mayor from 1896 to 1919, succeeding T. N. Graham, attorney at a time when the city's head and board of aldermen directed the affairs of the public school system along with other duties which called for sound judgment and a conservative attitude.
Mr. Brady was for many years precinct Democratic chairman in Robertson county and had served Hearne in many projects as chairman or director.
In his private business he devoted attention to his farming and ginning interests, operating a gin in Hearne and, with his sons, Ed and A. B. Brady, another at Valley Junction.
Mr. Brady was a communicant in the Catholic church in which faith he was reared by his parents, and in which he is followed by his family.
The passing of this good and worthy citizen brings sorrow to a wide circle besides the family for whom is felt the deepest sympathy.
Monsignor J. B. Gleissner of Bryan, spiritual adviser and close friend of decedent for many years, conducted funeral services at the home Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
Pall bearers were M. V. Carson, Jr., Brady Carson, Robert Brady, Pat Brady, grandsons, and Robert Moss, Jack Burney, E. P. Evans and Otho Mathews, Jr., nephews.
Interment at Norwood cemetery was in charge of E. H. Heartfield.
