Third Generation


9. Judge John Riker Brady (Thomas S. , Patrick ) was born on 9 Mar 1822 in New York City, New York, New York, USA. He died on 16 Mar 1891 in New York City, New York, New York, USA. He was buried in Family Vault, Old Saint Patrick's Church, New York City, New York, New York, USA.

"BRADY, John R., jurist, was born in New York city in 1821; son of Thomas S. Brady and brother of James T. Brady. His parents came to America from Ireland in 1812. His father was a lawyer of reputation, and his sons were educated under his direction. John R. studied law in the office of City Recorder Riker, and began his career at the bar in partnership with his brother and Mr. Maurice. In 1855 he was elected judge of the court of common pleas, by a majority of more than eight thousand, and at the end of his term he was again elected by an enormous vote. In 1869 he was promoted to the supreme court, and in 1872 was created a general-term judge of part one of the supreme court. His interest in political affairs was very great, and he had many friends among political leaders. On the death of President Garfield, Vice-president Chester A. Arthur took the oath of office as president of the United States before him. He was a founder of the Manhattan club, a member of the Tammany society, and of the Friendly sons of St. Patrick. Judge Brady was a picturesque figure in New York, in its judicial, political and social life. With an unshakable determination to see full justice rendered, he combined an invariable tendency to secure to every person the advantage granted by the law. In civil matters he inclined to what was obviously just, in preference to adhering to legal technicalities. He died in New York city, March 16, 1893."  The Twentieth Century Biographical Dictionary of Notable Americans: Volume I


Brady, John Riker, jurist, born in New York city in 1822; died there, March 18, 1891. He was a son of Thomas S. Brady, a lawyer, but better known as an educator, and a brother of James T. Brady, for many years the leader of the bar of New York. He studied law, was admitted to the bar in 1844, and practiced first in his father's otfice and afterward in partnership with his brother. In 1858 he was elected a justice of the New York Court of Common Pleas; in 1889 he was promoted to the bench of the Supreme Court of the State; and in 1877, when his term was expiring, he was honored by a unanimous re-election, each political party nominating him. He had occupied the judicial bench for thirty-Jive years continuously.  Judge Brady woe a man of much eloquence and wit, and for many years was the most popular after-dinner speaker in the State. At midnight nf the day on which President Garfield was shot, and before the extent of his injuries was known, Judge Brady administercd the oath of the presidential office to Vice-Président Arthur in New York.  Appletons' Annual Cyclopaedia and Register of Important Events 1892

By the death of Judge John R. Brady the country has lost an honest citizen, the State of New York an honorable judge. New York City a good example to its politicians of the highest order, and society a delightful companion.

Ex-Chief Justice Noah Davis, who for thirteen years sat on the Supreme Court Bench with the late judge, has paid the following tribute to his memory:

" He exhibited a marked degree of ability as a jurist. On the bench he was always courteous and affable, and willing to listen before deciding questions, and was especially kind to the younger members of the bar, by whom, as a rule, he was greatly beloved and respected. He was a remarkably genial man in social intercourse, full of anecdote, with which he enlivened every occasion when with his friends either in private or public. Probably no man in this city had a larger circle of admiring friends and acquaintances than he. He was an honest man, an honest lawyer, and an honest judge."

" The death of Justice Brady comes to us all this morning as a personal affliction," said Judge Barrett, when he adjourned Supreme Court Chambers on receiving the news that his old friend was dead. "One of the happiest years of my life was spent sitting beside him in the General Term of this court. He was always full of encouragement and kindness for his younger associates."

"We shall miss him more than we would have missed any one else," said another judge.

"An irreparable loss has been sustained by the court, the bar, and the community."

" He was patient and considerate toward members of the bar. He was an honest man, a conscientious and able jurist," said other judges. And these were not mere empty compliments. They expressed the honest opinion of the bench, the true feeling of the community.

Judge Brady's parents came to this country from Ireland in 1812, and settled in Newark, N. J. His father, Thomas S. Brady, was a man of considerable ability and a first-rate classical scholar, and when he removed to New York, in 1S14, he became principal of a private school. Later, he was admitted to the bar and became a judge of the Civil Court.

John R. Brady was born in Warren Street, New York City, in 1823. He studied law in his father's office. In 1855 he was nominated by the "Soft Shell" Democrats as Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, and took office in the following year.

At the end of his eight years' term, he was supported for reelection by Republicans as well as Democrats. For the

third time he received the same compliment, and in 1869 was elected Judge of the Supreme Court. So popular had he become that in 1877, in spite of his being a Democrat, the Republicans nominated him for the same position, and, Tammany Hall indorsing the nomination, he was reelected by a majority of 169,000 votes.

Judge Brady always refused to try a case in which a friend of his was either plaintiff or defendant. For this reason he refused to sit in judgment upon the trial of William M. Tweed. There were many other noted trials in which he took no part, for the same reason.

When President Garfield died, it was Judge Brady who administered the oath of office to Vice-President Arthur.

The late judge was married in 1865 to Miss Katharine Lydig, daughter of the late Philip M. Lydig. They had three children, two daughters and a son. The son, the youngest of the three, died in 1884, at the age of 14. The elder of the daughters, Miss May Brady, was a celebrated beauty in New York society. She was married in 1889 at Trinity Chapel, New York, to Mr. Charles Albert Stevens.

Her sister. Miss Kathryn Brady, who was one of the bridesmaids, was married on the same day to Mr. Sidney Harris, one of the ushers at the Little Church around the Corner.

Notwithstanding that Judge Brady was a devout Catholic, his children were brought up in the Protestant Episcopal faith.

For many years he was president of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick. He was a member of Tammany Hall, of the Manhattan Club, and of the Lambs. He was a great patron of the drama, and rarely missed a first night. A premiere at Daly's without Judge Brady in the stalls would have been almost as impossible as a premiere at Daly's without Miss Ada Rehan on the stage. Judge Brady's passing away was as tranquil as his life had been. On the morning of his death he attended mass at St. Leo's Church,whose rector, the Rev. Father Ducey, became a priest through the aid of Judge Brady's brother, and appeared to be perfectly well when he returned home. Later he took a walk with his wife. They went back to their apartments in the Hanover, in East Fifteenth Street, and while he was dressing for dinner he was seized with vertigo and fell back into a chair. He did not recover consciousness, and died early the following morning. The immediate cause of his death was the rupture of a blood-vessel in the brain.

His funeral took place at St. Leo's Church, and his body was buried in the Brady vault in the church-yard of the old St. Patrick's Cathedral in Mott Street.

St. Leo's Church was crowded with men and women anxious to pay a last tribute to the memory of the upright judge. Many had to remain outside on the sidewalk while the funeral services were being conducted. Justice Van Brunt, of the Supreme Court, ex-Sheriff Sickles, Judge Daly, of the Court of Common Pleas, ex-Judge Henry Hilton, exJudge Noah Davis, George W. Cottrell, George W. Quintard, Recorder Smyth, Justice Abraham R. Lawrence, and John Russell Young, formerly United States Minister to China, and until lately editor of the New York Herald, acted as pall-bearers.

In the following Winter, however, Mrs. Hall returned to this country alone. Siie adopted Xewport ae her residence, and after six months filed a suit in the Superior Court for divorce. On Aug. 19, 19O8, almost nine months after she had obtained her divorce from Major Hall, Mrs. Hall was married to Herbert Melville Harriman. The ceremony was very quiet, only a few of the intimate relatives, including Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Harriman and Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Harriman, being present.

The End Came Unexpectedly at the Albemarle Hotel
C. Albert Stevens died yesterday at the Albemarle Hotel. Although Mr. Stevens had been suffering from pneumonia for some days, his death was unexpected, even to his wife, who left his bedside only a few moments before the end came.
Mr. Stevens was a member of the Stevens family of Castle Point, Hoboken. He was a son of Mrs. Edwin Augustus Stevens who died two years ago at the castle. Albert Stevens has always been a conspicuous figure in New York society. He possessed, in appearance, the strong features of the family, dressed well, was conspicuous at many entertainments, and was a member of a number of fashionable clubs, including the Union, the Knickerbocker, the Racquet, the Meadow Brook, the New York Yacht, and others. He was prominent in the sporting world, was one of the best cross-country riders in the United States, and adept in and a patron of many sports.
He was a graduate of Columbia, '87, and very well versed in literature. He had an extraordinary memory, and could repeat many of the works of the English poets from cover to cover. He was also a patron of the drama. He was hospitable and jovial. For several years he had been in failing health. He had frequent nervouse [sic] attacks, but he rallied from them marvelously. He had any number of friends, and was a general favorite. Then years ago he married Miss Mary M. Brady, the eldest daughter of the late judge John R. Brady. Miss Brady was a noted beauty and had many suitors. She is to-day one of the most beautiful of the young matrons in society. She has been a model of wifely devotion. This Winter Mr. and Mrs. Stevens took a house in town, where they entertained until the end of the season.
They had recently moved to Roslyn, their country seat. Whenever Mr. and Mrs. Stevens came to town they stopped at the Albemarle. Mr. Stevens leaves no children but a number of brothers and sisters. Among them are Edwin A. Stevens, Richard Stevens, Robert Livingston Stevens, Mrs. Archibald Alexander, and Mrs. Edward Parke Custis Lewis.
The Stevens estate is very large, and is held in trust. C. Albert Stevens, however, was quite a wealthy man in his own right.
