Couple to Mark
Golden Wedding
(Continued from page l)
Mr. Grady sized up the opposi
tion. “Most of them had been
routed before 1 got there.”
Mrs. Grady’s maiden name was
Mary Hayes, daughter of John
and Julia Cronin Hayes. She was
born May 15, 1886. five miles east
of Atkinson and one mile south
on the family homestead. Her
parents had come to Nebraska
from Iowa and Illinois, respec
tively.
She attended country school,
later Atkinson public school dur
ing the era in which there were
only 10 grades.
A visitor at the Hayes plate
the day the family held a fann
sale was a young O’Neill man—
H. D. Grady—who made the trip
aboard a saddle horse. Mr. Grady
had been a ranch manager.
A courtship ensued and Rev.
Henry Loecker performed the
nuptial rites in the frame St.
Joseph’s Catholic church which
was razed two years ago.
The newlyweds established
housekeeping in a new bungalow
in O’Neill, which Mr. Grady had
built (now owned and occupied
by Mrs. Christine Williams).
In 1905, Mr. Grady organized
the first rural mail route in Holt
county — O’Neill’s rural route 1.
He alternated teams of horses
each day when making the 3?. •
mile circuit in all kinds of
weather for $60 per month.
In 1909 he was nominated by
the republicans for Holt county
sheriff. He was 31-years-old and
it was Nebraska’s first primary
election. He electioneered on
horseback in every precinct and
carried all but six.
“Nothing much important
happened while I was sheriff/' j
Mr. Grady recounts. “Being
sheriff and keeping order is
pretty much what you make
it."
In 1917 he Quit the sheriff’s
office, operated a store with his
brother, Ben, until 1924 when he
was appointed postmaster. The
postmastership, which he held
nine years, was an unwritten po
litical “reward” for being “Mr.
Republican” in his community.
During the thirties he resumed
the grocery business with his
brother, and retired about 10
years ago.
Mr. Grady has one brother liv
ing, John of Everett, Wash., and
three sisters—the Misses Mary
and Katherine Grady of Denver,
Colo., and Mrs. H. J. (Charlotte)
Hammond of O’Neill.
Mrs. Grady has four sisters
living—Mrs. Harry Harte of O’
Neill, Mrs. Rose Ellis and Mrs.
Nell Koler, both of Casper, Wyo,
and Mrs. Gertrude Morgan of
Arlington, Calif.; also one broth
er, James of Arlington, and her
90-year-old mother, Mrs. J. F.
Hayes, who also resides in Ar
lington. Her mother moved from
Holt 30 years ago.
Her mother is in frail health
and will be unable to attend the
celebration.
The Gradys have seven grand
children, all of whom will be
here for the observance.
