I found a bit, out of curiosity. All of the census entries are how they were spelled in
the

Sanford and Sarah have been married for 29 years.
I can't find him in 1880. He may have been out of the country. They left their
daughter with her Fadden grandparents:

Sanford C. Cady, N.D. Pioneer,
Who Helped Found Grand Forks
And Gave It A Name Dies At 85.
First Postmaster of City, Served During Civil War;
Captured Prisoner and Exchanged; Marriage Was Earliest Union of Whites in Present City.
Sanford C. Cady, 85 years old, one of the founders of Grand Forks, and who gave the city
its name, died at the Soldiers Home at Lisbon Thursday from illness incident to old age.
He was a veteran of the Civil War, the first postmaster at Grand Forks, and played a
prominent part in the early development of the Red River Valley.
Surviving him are his wife, four daughters, and three sons. One daughter, Mrs. Wallace
Brandt, lives near Emerado, and another Mrs. Pat Carl, near Arvilla.
Mr. Cady will be buried with military honors at Arvilla Monday. Services will be held at
the Arvilla Presbyterian church at 1 o'clock Monday afternoon under the auspices of
Grand Forks Post, American Legion. Rev. J.G. Moore will officiate at the service.
Served in War
Born in Washington county, Ohio in 1844 Mr. Cady enlisted in an Indiana regiment at the
outbreak of the Civil War. At the Battle of Perryville in September 1862, he was captured
by the Confederates, but was exchanged a few weeks later. Subsequently he served under
General Sherman in his campaign on the Yazoo river in Mississippi, and with General Banks
in the Texas expedition. He was one of the builders of the dams in the Red River of the
South by which Admiral Porters grounded gunboats were floated, and saved from capture.
He was wounded three times during the war, before being mustered out of the army July 14,
1865.
Mr. Cady then came west and entered the government service as a wagoner, hauling supplies
to Fort Abercrombie and other frontier post. In the spring of 1869 he quit government
service to freight goods to Fort Garry, and took up his residence at the Forks of the Red
and Red Lake rivers.
Named Grand Forks
Being joined by several other settlers about the same time, Mr. Cady suggested the
establishment of a postoffice at the settlement and after some correspondence with Enos
Stutsman of the Pembina county, the office was established by the government. On the
suggestion of Mr. Cady it was named Grand Forks, this being the English translation of the
name "Grandes Fourches" given to the junction of the two streams by the French
Canadian boatmen.
In the fall of 1870 Mr. Cady built a cabin near the present site of the city waterworks.
This was the first postoffice, and Mr. Cady was appointed postmaster. John Stewart who
operated the stage station, was his deputy.
Mr. Cady's marriage to Sarah J. Fadden, daughter of John Fadden, who operated a ferry
here, took place in 1871. It was the first marriage of white people to take place in Grand
Forks.
Shortly after this Mr. Cady took an active part in building the telegraph line north to
Pembina, and in other enterprises which led to the opening up of the territory.
Engaged in Farming
He engaged in farming in Pembina county for some time, and also operated a farm west of
Larimore. Later he was town marshal of Larimore, and was also in charge of the Larimore
pumping plant.
For several years past Mr. Cady had made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Carl, between
Arvilla and Gilby. A few months ago, being in feeble health, he went to the Soldiers Home
at Lisbon.
