Franklin News-Herald, Wednesday, Dec 5 1956:
A heart attack caused the death of C. Earl Brady, 51, of 228 Front Street, Rocky Grove, while deer hunting on the farm of a relative near Worden's Corners in the Galloway area, Tuesday afternoon.
His body was found on the Rudolph Larsen farm where he had been deer hunting throughout the morning. Mr. Larsen said Brady had driven his Jeep back to a field on the farm and had taken up a station beside the vehicle, placing his gun on a tripod. The farmer said he was working on the roof of a new home he is building on his farm, and that from his vantage point had seen the hunter walking around his Jeep. He'd hear Brady fire several times early in the afternoon and had noted him "moving around" beside the Jeep. He later heard a single shot, but did not investigate. At supper time he decided to see if the hunter was still in the field, and when he noted the gate to the field had not been fastened the way Brady always left it when hunting on the farm, he walked back to the Jeep and discovered the body. The hunter's body was half in and half out of the Jeep, and his boots were partially unlaced. His gun was still mounted on the tripod with one empty shell in it.
Today a six-point buck was found near the spot where Mr. Brady had been stationed, and officers believe he shot the deer before he was fatally stricken. Friends of the hunter said he was a "crack shot" and often only placed one shell in the gun at a time when going after game. He enjoyed hunting in area woodlands and fields, and in recent years had made quite a sport of clearing district farms of their woodchuck population.
Venango County Deputy Coroner Frank E. Butters place the time of death at about 3:30 pm. The body was discovered at 5:45 pm. Mr. Brady suffered a severe heart attack a year ago and was hospitalized for several weeks.
He was born Aug. 19, 1905 at Starr, son of George and Maude Sutley Brady. He spent his early life at Starr and had been a resident of Rocky Grove the past 35 years. He was a construction worker and a member of the Iron Workers Union local No. 351, Erie. He was a member of Rocky Grove Avenue Presbyterian Church, Myrtle Lodge No. 316 F & AM, the Oil City Lodge pf Perfections, and the New Castle Consistory.
He married Blanche Reagle Aug. 2, 1930, and she survives, with a daughter, Mrs. Kenneth (Beverly) Young of Rocky Grove; a son, Cpl. Richard E. Brady of US Marine Corps, now en route to a California base; a granddaughter, Mona Young; a sister, Mrs. Florence Allebaugh of Starr; four brothers, Lawrence and William Brady of Starr, henry Brady of Slippery Rock, and Harry Brady of Rocky Grove.
