Biography

Jack was born on 17 Nov 1885 in Granbury, Hood County, Texas. ^[1] His parents were Charlie Brady and Mary A. Allgood. ^[2]Jack's siblings were Susie Elizabeth Brady Henslee and Mike Brady. There was a sister Fannie that died in infancy. The Judge Henry Davis papers are the first find to record Fannie. He was a local Judge in Granbury who copied documents on families he knew there. If it were not for this quirk, we would never have known about Fannie.^[3]

Jack first married Mary Elizabeth Proctor on 24 July 1907. ^[4]

In 1910, the family lived in Justice precinct 3 in Harris County on the Lynchburg-Noster and Cedar Bayon Road. Jack was 23 and Mary was 20. They had been married for three years. He was a laborer and they were expecting their first child, Cleo Fleta. ^[5]

WW I draft card shows him married with three children in Liberty, Texas as a farmer. He says he is medium build, stout, brown hair, and gray eyes. He does claim exemption on the registration card. ^[6]

In the 1920 Census, Jack was 33, Mary was 30, and the family was back in Justice Precinct 4, Hood County. His occupation was listed as farmer. The family had grown and the children listed were: Cleo Fleta 10, Viola 8, Charles 5, and Alice was 1. They had one more child that did not make the census as she was born in 1922 - Ruth Lee Brady. ^[7]

Jack's and parents divorced sometime in the late 1920's (still looking for the papers) and Mary remarried Thomas Jefferson McDaniels. She had a whole new family and 6 kids with Thomas. Jack was very close to his half siblings and I was told that everyone thought he was a kind and upstanding man. Everyone liked him. ^[8]

Mary married E.B. Dillon at some point in the late 1920's (still looking for the papers) and they had one child, Edward Vance Dillon. Edward was only about a year and a half old when Mary died of Tuberculosis in 1930. ^{[9] [10]}

According to the 1930 Census, Jack was married and living back in South Texas in Precinct 1 of Liberty, Texas on Brady Road. His occupation is again listed as a farmer. There is a Horace Brady who is 15 living with them and his daughter Alice is 11. I don't know who Birley N. Brady is. Is she his new wife or another relative? ^[11]

By the 1940 Census, Jack is married again and back in Hood County. He is living on Carmichael Bend Settlement Road. He is again listed as a farmer. This census also says the he never completed his schooling beyond the 7th grade. His new wife is Ida AKA Sarah. It is horribly mangled on the census. There are no children at home. ^[12]

There is a copy of his WWII draft card where he is 55, married to Ida, self employed, and living in Granbury, Hood County, Texas. ^[13]

There was a notice in the paper of people in the hospital in Granbury and Jack was on the list. [The Tablet, 20 Jun 1968]

Jack married Ida AKA Sarah J.McPherson Linthicum about 1939. ^[14]They had no children. He married a third time to Nettie V. Ayres in 1963 and they were married until Jack died. Jack passed away in 1968 in Granbury, Texas. Nettie died 14 Oct 1968 at her daughter's home in Douglasville, Ga. ^[15]He is buried next to Ida, his second wife in Fall Creek Cemetery. ^[16]

This is a copy of his obituary from The Tablet Newspaper in Granbury, Hood County, Texas on 11 July 1968: "SERVICES MONDAY FOR JACK BRADY
