LEWIS GOODMAN GRADY, Passes Away at his Home In Halifax. Honored and Esteemed by All who Knew Him.
On Thursday afternoon, August 4th, at 3 o'clock, death again entered our town, this time claiming for his own one of our oldest residents, and one of the most respected and familiar figures among us, Rev. L. G. Grady, who resided here about 44 years, coming here soon after the war.
Lewis Goodman Grady was born December 21st, 1839, at Outlaw's bridge in Dublin county, where for one hundred years his fathers lived and died. He was the youngest of three children, his brother, Hatch Whitfield, and sister Charity, preceded him to the grave many years ago. His parents were Outlaw Grady , and Patience Outlaw Grady, his wife.
Mr. Grady belonged to Company A, 43rd North Carolina Regiment, and was paroled at Appomattox Court House. He fought at Gettysburg, was in the valley campaign under Early, basin fact with the 43rd from its organization to its discharge. A good soldier he was, fearless and faithful in the discharge of his duty.
He was married the first time to Miss Mary Elizabeth Spencer FIttz, youngest daughter of Jack and Martha Ann Barrow Fittz, of Dinwiddie county, Va., January 29th, 1968. There were five children by this marriage, Jennie Outlaw, who married Hon. Edward Llewellyn Travis, in 1894, Halifax, N.C., and Buelah Barrow, mho married in 1895, Prof. James W.. Hays, of Elm City, N.C., and three who died in infancy. His first wife preceded him to the grave December 21st, 1900.
On the 19th of November, 1902, he was married the second time to Miss Maud Grady, youngest daughter of William Henry Grady, and his wife Emeline Simmons Grady, of Dublin county.
In 1878, at Halifax, N.C., under the preaching of Rev. A. R. Raven he was converted and joined the church, and from that day until the day of his death he was ever an active worker in the Master's vineyard.
[the rest is condensed] He was for a number of years Superintendent of the Granville Street Sunday school, M. E. Church. Sunday School was ever near his heart, and many times we have been riding along with him while he hummed familiar hymns that the children loved. Brother Grady was licensed as a local preacher in 1892 at the Warrenton District Conference.
Mr. Grady while living here was engaged in the jewelry and watch-repairing business, and was thoroughly know throughout the county, and nearly over the State, as a man straightforward, and willing to comply with all promises made.
He owned many friend here and elsewhere. Though he was a man of few words, and impressed those who knew him least as being a little peculiar and somewhat eccentric, there was never a more kindly man, or one with a warmer love all all mankind than he.
