Headstone reads: Member of NY Cavalry - Co.H.16th
One of the 26 enlisted men who captured John Wilkes Booth, the assasin of President Lincoln.
Emory Parady was born in New York and died 14 Mar 1924 in Portland. His parents were French Canadians. He was in receipt of pension from 24 Jul 1890 and at the time of his pension application was a resident of Michigan. In 1880 the family resided in Nashville, Barry County, Michigan. By trade he was a shoemaker. His widow Frances A Parady (a native of Ohio) filed from Oregon for widow's pension less than a month after his death. No service was claimed other than the 16th New York Cavalry. Their unmarried daughter Elizabeth, then 44, was living with them in Portland in 1920, as was daughter Nellie Parady Brown and her two children. The girls worked as photograph retouchers in a studio locally. Two sons, Silas and Albert, enumerated with the family in 1880, are missing from the household in 1920 and are presumed to be on their own.
