Conrad and Anna Spady

Conrad Spady was born in Norka, Russia, on August 24, 1864, the son of Heinrich Spady (born 1829) and Elisabeth Bott (born 1833)

Conrad married Anna Elisabeth Loos in Norka on December 27, 1849. Anna Elisabeth was born on July 26, 1868, the daughter of Adam Loos (born 1825) and Margaretha Krieger (born 1827).

Conrad and Anna Elisabeth became parents to at least two children in Russia, including Heinrich Edward (born Apr. 1889) and Alexander (born Dec. 1890). Alexander died in April 1891. 

Conrad and Annal Elisabeth traveled with the Conrad and Johannes Conrad Trüber family to the United States in 1892. They ​departed from Hamburg, Germany, on March 15, 1892, and arrived in Baltimore aboard the steamship Bohemia on April 2nd. They traveled directly to Portland with the Trüber family.

At the time of the 1900 U.S. Census, Conrad and Anna Elisabeth (now Alice) were residing at 421 San Rafael Street in Portland. Four more children joined the family: Joseph (born July 1892), George (born Dec. 1894), Lydia (born Apr. 1896) and Hulda (born April 1898). Conrad was working as a day laborer.

Four more children would be added to the Spady family by 1911, including Henry Edward (born 1901), Edna (born 1904), Florence (born 1911), and an infant daughter who died at birth in 1913.

In 1920, Conrad, Anna, Edward, Edna, and Florence were living at 907 E. 8th Street, and Conrad was working as a showcase maker.

In 1930, Conrad, Anna, and Florence lived at 1348 E. 33rd St. N. Conrad continued to work as a cabinet maker. 

Anna Elisabeth died in Portland on July 25, 1942, and was buried at the Rose City Cemetery.

Conrad died on November 10, 1951, and was buried with Anna Elisabeth.
