Private Edward Brady, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Brady of Anamosa, died at Camp Dodge on Thursday, Oct. 17, 1918, of influenza and pneumonia. He was the third Anamosa boy and the sixth from Jones County of the last contingent to succumb to the dread pestilence. His strong constitution aided him in the battle for life and it was the hope of those who watched the daily bulletins that his life might be spared. His mother watched by his bedside in the Camp Hospital through the long struggle as the thread of life hung tenaciously, lending daily hope. No human strength could survive the ravages of such virulent nature. Everything that human skill could do was done, a comfort and consolation to his family. Like all others of the last contingent he was 21 years old. Surviving are his parents, four brothers and two sisters and a large circle of relatives in this community. Burial was in Holy Cross Cemetery at Anamosa. | ||||
