           JOHN S. DEADY, druggist at Bad Axe, was born May 31, 1850, in
        Hamilton, Ont.  He is the son of WILLIAM and HANNAH (SECORD) DEADY,
        who removed from Ontario with their family to Rochester, N.Y.,in
        1855.  His father is a member of the flouring firm of WILSON & Co.,
        of that city.  MR. DEADY grew to manhood in the beautiful city of
        the Genesee Valley, and when 20 years of age he went to Hamilton,
        Ont., to fill a position as assistant book-keeper in a boot and
        shoe establishment. Two years later he became a salesman in the
        grocery of WILLIAM H. DEADY, his brother, who is located in the
        same city, where he operated between three and four years. At the
        end of that time he went to Goderich and engaged as accountant with
        SECORD, COUSINS & Co., lumbermen, remaining with them about five
        years. On leaving their service he went into a drug store in the
        same place, for the purpose of learning the business. A year later
        he returned to Rochester. In the spring of 1882 he came to Bad Axe,
        where his brother was engaged in the drug business, and engaged in
        his employment.  May 1, 1883, he became proprietor of the business
        by purchase, and in June following he removed to his present loca-
        tion on Sand Beach Street. He carries a well-assorted line of drug-
        gists' sundries, consisting of drugs, paints, oils, varnishes,
        patent medicines, liquors, etc., and is engaged in the transaction
        of a prosperous business.
