YPSILANTI - Frank Cady, 86 years old, native and life-long resident of Ypsilanti, died at 5 o'clock this morning at his home, 707 W. Michigan Ave.
He was born Aug. 31, 1857, in what is now downtown Ypsilanti, a son of Mr. and Mrs. George Cady, and for most of his life was a farmer. For a time after he retired from that business he was a gardener on the private estate of Henry Ford, at Dearborn.
In February, 1879, he married Miss Isabel Shekell of Ypsilanti, who survives him. He also leaves three sons, John E. and Lon C., both of Ypsilanti; and Frank, Chicago; and one daughter, Mrs. Charles Hammond, Ypsilanti; and seven grandchildren.
Cady was known as one of the oldest deer hunters in Michigan, having traveled each year for the past 34 years to the same camp near Grayling, where almost every year he shot his deer. Last season he made the trip as usual, and a shot a large buck, the head of which was mounted and presented to him by a group of local friends.
Funeral services will be held at 3:30 p.m. Saturday at the Moore funeral home here, with Rev. William R. Shaw officiating. Burial will be in Highland cemetery. Friends may call at the funeral home.
