DANIEL BRADY was born in Darke County, Ohio, March 12, 1828, and is one of nine children of William and Flizabeth (Crumrine) Brady, the former a native of New Jersey, the latter of Pennsylvania. William Brady, when a young man, went to Darke County, Ohio, where he worked at the blacksmith's trade for ten years. In March, 1841, he came to Newton County, Ind., and settled in Iroquois Township, buying what is known as the ‘Jacob Wright farm.’’ He afterward removed to Barton County, Kan., where he now lives. Daniel attended the schools of Newton County, and remained with his parents until twenty-one, when, in connection with his brother, he bought a farm, which they owned but a short time. He entered 120 acres adjoining, living upon it two years. He then entered 160 acres in Iroquois County, Ill., where he lived four years. In 1860, he came to Beaver Township, and bought a farm of 190 acres, upon which he still lives. It is in a high state of cultivation, and has one of the finest houses in the county. He gives considerable attention to stock-raising. Mr. Brady was married, September 24, 1854, to Arlina Peck, a native of New York. They have had six children, four of whom, Mrs. Frances A. Clark, Mrs. Helen E. Elijah, Alma and Laura E. are living. Mr. Brady is in politics a Republican, and is one of the early settlers of the county.
