Brady

[Jami Brady-Stoneking]

In search of information of the Brady family that resided in Trinidad in the late 1800's to the early 1900's. Zephaniah, the patriarch died (and I believe is buried there) in 1899. His wife Louisa lived there as did their sons Virgil and William. I'm in California and am having no luck with finding info online. Thank you.

From The Golden Globe, 3-25-1899, pg. 3, Zephaniah Brady died at Trinidad on March 12 aged about 70 years. For many years he had been subject to epileptic fits. Four days before his death he had a severe fit, and on the evening of the 11th he went to bed feeling badly. Next morning Mrs. Brady looked in his room and he seemed to be resting easily. At 8 o'clock his son Virgil came home from his nights work, went in and spoke to his father and put his hand on his head, and he touched a corpse. Death had come some hours before. The burial was at Trinidad and Mrs. Brady came up this week to pack up and move the household goods to that city. Zeph Brady was an old soldier, a good man, a kind neighbor, and his death will be mourned by many old friends at Golden where he lived so long. He came here in 1873, and as an engineer and carpenter was a useful and industrious man. We extend condolence to the bereaved family.

From The Golden Globe, 5-16-1896, Mrs. Turnidge, aged 83 years and 6 months, mother of Mrs. Louisa Brady, departed this life Wednesday night, caused by paralysis, (S)he was born in Nashville, (Tennesseee). Her husband, Rev. M. Turnidge, died in Carlton Mo in 1860.

From The Colorado Transcript, 10-6-1886, The death of Mrs. William Brady occurred (an) Sunday morning last, in this city. The case is a sad one, as deceased was only about 17 years of age, and had been married but a few months. The earnest sympathies of the community are with the bereaved husband and relatives.

Hi Dodie,

I just saw your replies for the 1st time! I do have the above info, I was hoping for info on Zeph and family while they lived in Trinidad. It seems to be scarce. I have some (burials, etc.) but not much. Thank you for trying! By the way, I see you're in El Cajon...I grew up in Lakeside. :)
