Representative Albert Verne Brady View All Years

ALBERT VERNE BRADY

MR. SPEAKER: Your committee, appointed to prepare a suitable resolution commemorating the life, character and public service of the late Honorable Albert Verne Brady, begs leave to submit the following memorial:

Albert Verne Brady, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Brady, was born September 9, 1885, at Sanborn, Iowa. He graduated from the public school and attended Spencer Business College before entering the School of Law at the University of Iowa. Because of the serious illness of his father, he was called home from the University and was unable to finish his college work, as he took over the management of his father's estate at that time.

He was united in marriage to Marguerite E. Kings on January 1, 1910, and to this union were born two sons, E. M. Brady of Mitchell, South Dakota, and Lieutenant Commander N. K. Brady of the U.S.N.R. and one daughter, Betty Brady Gross, Lieutenant in the Army Nurses Corps, all of whom survive him. He is also survived by a brother, Dr. E. M. Brady of Sanborn, Iowa, and a sister, Miss Eva M. Brady of Waterloo, Iowa.

“Verne,” as he was best known throughout the state, was prominent in Farm Bureau work from the date of its organization. He served as president of the O'Brien County organization and was a director on the State Board for several years. He was also a pioneer in the cooperative marketing movement in the state.

Verne served in the Iowa Legislature during the Thirty-ninth, Fortieth and Fortieth Extra Sessions and while there introduced the bill under which all the co-operative marketing associations were finally organized. His father had served in the Legislature during the previous Code Revision Session.

He passed away at his home in Sanborn on October 13, 1943. Interment was made in Roselawn Cemetery with the Masonic Lodge in charge of the services.

Therefore, Be It Resolved by the House of Representatives of the Fifty-first General Assembly, That in the passing of the Honorable Albert Verne Brady, the State has lost a valued and honored citizen and the family a loving husband and father and the House would tender, by this resolution, its sincere sympathy to the surviving members of his family in their sorrow; and

Be It Further Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be spread upon the Journal of the House and that the Chief Clerk be instructed to send an enrolled copy to the family of the deceased.
