NEWRY REPORTER 2 December 1886
DEATH OF DENNIS CAULFIELD BRADY, ESQ, D.L., J.P.
It becomes our painful duty to record the death of this esteemed gentleman, which took place at his residence, Bridge Street, on Tuesday forenoon. It is about nine months ago since the familiar presence of the deceased was last seen in our streets, but, although confined to his house, he was suffering from any illness of a specific form. The physical weakness incidental to the long age of eighty-three years no doubt told on his once vigorous constitution, and kept Mr Brady indoors, but otherwise, till within the last few weeks, he might be said to be in fairly good health. For more than half-a-century the deceased was a principal man in Newry, his first prominent entrance into public life being in 1835, when he stood for the Borough in the Liberal interest, and, after a contest of great severity, won the seat by a majority of twenty five - "these twenty five" - as he used to say, "all Presbyterians, and the most respectable men in the whole constituency." While in Parliament Mr Brady was a steady supporter of all progressive measures, and enjoyed not only the confidence but the friendship of O'Connel [Daniel], with whom he occasionally corresponded in after years. Of the deepening and widening at Carlingford Bar, Mr Brady was a strong advocate, and actively co-operated with the late Mr Kirk, M.P., and others, in obtaining a loan for that object. With the Newry Navigation he was also largely identified as a shareholder, and for many years occupied a similar position in relation to the Harbour Commissioners. To all movements of an educational and benevolent kind the deceased gentleman was a friend and supporter, irrespective of seat or party - for he was the unbending for of everything that was narrow and bigotted. In him the Fever Hospital has lost a generous and a steady supporter. Nothing gave him more pleasure than to take the chair - an honour always accorded him - at the meetings of this Institution, and that pleasure was considerably heightened when the Report showed that the hospital was doing its noble work work efficiently and successfully. Except perhaps in regard to the hospital Mr Brady owing to increasing years and infirmities, had dropped out of public life for the last four or five years. In his day and generation, however, he had fairly done his part, and now that the chapter of his long life is ended it may be truthfully said of him that he was an honourable, straightforward man; true and firm to his convictions of what he thought to be right on public questions; and a frank, steady and reliable friend. Mr Brady's death breaks the last link that connected the old race of Newry Magistrates with the present.
