Martin Grady, a respected Irishman, died yesterday after a brief Illness. He was well and favorably known to his countrymen, occupying a prominent position among them as he was also to many other of our citizens. He came to this city from
Cincinnati with Thomas D. Kingan, Esq, twenty-nine years ago, and in his employ continuously from that time, ever bearing the character of a faithful, industrious and honest man. Mr. Grady was a leading member of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, and a charter member of the organization in this city.
Manlif B. Wright
September 16, 1880
Died in Indianapolis, Indiana, September 15, Manlif B. Wright, 41 of Watseka, county judge of Iroquois county, formerly of Marshall county.
The immediate cause of Judge M. B. Wright's death as now stated, was tetanus or lockjaw, caused from taking cold following the operation for hemorrhoids at the Surgical Institute at Indianapolis. His funeral was in charge of the Knights of Honor of which order he was a member, the bar association acting as pall bearers, and was one of the largest ever held in Iroquois county. The Chebanse brass band headed the procession, playing a dirge as it moved from the house to the church and to the graveyard. The solemn strains of the dirge, and flags at half mast surmounted with crape, made it a scene of impressive sadness.
