jured Passenger in Career
T. H. Brady of 516 North 9th street, known to the people of this city as "Tim" Brady left yesterday, June 30, for his last run as an engineer on the Northern Pacific railroad. This last run took him to Morris and from there he returned Saturday arriving at Brainerd at 2:10 p. m. when he completed a stretch of 54 years on the railroad.
Mr. Brady, who has been running engines for the past 54 years, came to Brainerd and entered the service of the Northern Pacific railroad in 1871 when Brainerd was a city of tents. He has watched the city's growth through all these years, retires voluntarily on pension and will be at leisure to help celebrate the Fiftieth anniversary of the incorporation of the city whose growth he has noted with interest and pleasure.
One who has been so long in a town becomes in a special sense a representative citizen and Mr. Brady is a representative of the solid citizenship which makes for the stability and security of the old home town. He has a warm affection for the city in which he has spent so many years and in turn has won the appreciation of his fellow citizens of Brainerd who are ready to congratulate him on his long service to the railroad and his contribution to Brainerd's growth.
When Mr. Brady came to this city there were two banks which, said he with a smile, were faro "banks which were open both day and night." He used this in illustration of the contrast between things as they were then and things as they are now at the time of Brainerd's Fiftieth anniversary.
It is practically certain that Mr. Brady is the oldest engineer in the State of Minnesota in length of service. At the time of his retiring and it is probable that he is the oldest engineer in actual service in the United States. For the veteran will have reached the age of 79 on his next birthday.
Mr. Brady has considerable pride in his record through all these years and as is natural is deeply attached to his work at the throttle of the engine. One can well believe that it is not without a sense of loss that he retires at this time to enjoy the rest which is his by right of long and meritorious service.
On the editorial page of the Locomotive Engineers Journal for the month of May, 1922, there appeared under the caption "The Golden Rule Exemplified" the following:
Minneapolis, Minn.
Mar. 13, 1922
Mr. T. H. Brady,
Engineman,
Mississippi Street,
St. Paul, Minnesota.
I have your letter of the 9th inst., explaining the derailment of engine 726 on train No. 20 at derail, end of track No. 1, Sauk Center, March 9th.
I note your acknowledgment of the responsibility, your regret and statement that the derailment was undoubtedly due to your head not working very well on that particular day.
After going over your personal record, which takes in fifty-one years of service, and finding it clear, I cannot bring myself to believe that a head that has worked so faithfully for fifty-one years should go wrong on March 9th, therefore, the occurrence will be placed in the unavoidable class and your record will remain as it was before.
It certainly gives me great pleasure to write this letter in a sort of a return for the good service that you have given this company since entering the service in 1871.
Yours truly,
(Signed) T. F. Lowery, Supt.
We take great pleasure in publishing the foregoing letter, it rings so true with kindness, consideration and appreciation.
Men will take off their coats to give the best they've got for an official so broad and so appreciative of good work as Superintendent Lowery, for with the spirit he has shown in his letter to Brother T. H. Brady goes other qualities that are bound to command the respect of the men in their work and their loyalty to the company."
This is signed "Editor" by the editor of the Journal which is published at Des Moines, Iowa.
Seven girls and two boys have been born into Mr. Brady's home. One of the boys, John, was the first boy to respond to the call for men for service on the Mexican border. he then came home but soon left for France for service with the A. E. F. He is now a student of mining engineering at Houghton, Michigan, and is paying his own way through school. John was for some time a clerk in the First National bank here.
Four of the daughters are married and are living in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Miss Gertrude is cashier in a bank at Arville, North Dakota, and Margaret is receiving nurse at the Northern Pacific hospital in St. Paul.
The Lions' club members went in a body Saturday afternoon to the 2:10 train and met Mr. Brady at the conclusion of his last run after 54 years of service on an engine. A large bouquet was presented to him and he was conveyed to his home in an automobile by members of the club. Mr. Brady was invited to be the guest of the club at its next luncheon and regular meeting on Monday evening.
The Fiftieth anniversary advisory committee were at the depot this afternoon to meet the train on its arrival and to congratulate Mr. Brady on the completion of his long service. (Brainerd Daily Dispatch, 01 July 1922, p. 5, c.'s 1-3)
