1878 BIOGRAPHIES OF POLK TOWNSHIP BENTON COUNTY, IOWA******BRODY, HUGH, farmer, Sec.
3; P.O. Urbanna; born in Richland Co., Ohio, in 1817; came to Benton Co. in 1840; has 584 acres of land valued at $35 per acre. Married Miss Joanna Osborne in March 1844; she was born in Indiana in 1827; they have nine children -- Samuel, Clarinda, Stephen, Hugh, Jr., John, William, Rebecca, Henry and Alexander. Mr. Brody was among the earliest settlers of the county, and has made his property, with extensive improvements, by hard labor and economy since coming to the county.
(Hugh Brody was also a member of the "Brody Gang", see notes under Stephen Brody,Father.)
OUT OF JOSEPH BRODY' BOOK "THE BRODY GANG":
If you desire to understand the circumstances that shaped Hugh Brody's life, you must attempt to understand his environment. Hugh was a product of his family as well as the time America happened to be going through. Defining the American frontier would likely bring movie versions of 'horse opers' to many. The cast would include a cowboy hero, outlaws, and painted Indians. It would require one runaway stagecoach, a saloon brawl or two, and a shoot-out on Main Street for the finale. The frontier Hugh Brody was a part of, was not like that. It consisted of free land on the western edge of advancing settlements. To meet settler demands when the states of Indiana, Missouri and Illinois essentially ran out of available claims, a narrow strip of land was instituted just west of the Mississippi. It extended from Missouri's northern border along the Mississippi to Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. This new region constituted only about 1/8 of the land that was predestined to become the state of Iowa by 1846.

Notes for J
OHANNA OSBORN:http://www.gbnf.com/GENEALOG3/brody/html/d0005/I506307204.HTM
The first annual reunion of the Brody family was held in honor of Great Great Grandmother Johanna (Joanna) Brody August 24, 1916 at the home of John H. and Jennie Brody on the old homestead. A few weeks previous to this date it was suggested by Rev. D. G. Shepherd and heartily seconded by Myrtle Brody Hawley that we hold a reunion of the Brody families and these two named with the assistance of others sent invitations and in a few days all arrangements were made.
At an early hour on the 24th, the relatives from far and near began to arrive. Some came from Los Angeles, California; Bozeman, Montana; Backus, Minnesota; Guthrie Center, Cedar Rapids, Muscatine, Ottumwa, Vinton, Walker, Center Point, Troy Mills, and Marion, Iowa, the rest from in and around Urbana until when the dinner bell sounded, there were one hundred and twenty-five to be served.
After dinner was over a splendid program was given. The address of Welcome was delivered by Rev. D. G. Shepherd followed by a few words of welcome from Great Great Grandmother and while it was not so eloquently delivered, it came from her heart and was most heartily appreciated by all.........
OBITUARY: This short biography is taken from the obituary written about
Joanna Osborne Brody September 1921 "SPENT 78 YEARS ON SAME FARM" Eighty-one years a resident of Benton County, and seventy-eight of these lived on the same farm, is the record of Mrs. Joanna Brody, who died Saturday at 5:15 A.M., at the old Brody homestead in Polk Township, two miles South of Urbana. Had she lived until November 22, this year, she would have reached her 95th birthday. Her death was due to the ailments of old age, and she was confined to her bed about a week. Joanna Osborne, daughter of Jonathan and Susanna Osborne, was born November 22, 1826, in Indiana. In 1840 the Osborne family came West to Iowa, making the trip by wagon, and they landed in Center Point
on July 4, 1840. March 2, 1843, Miss Osborne was married to Hugh Brody, who was born in Ohio, in 1817, settled in Polk Township in 1840. They went to housekeeping on land, which Mr. Brody entered from the government and this land, with many acres added to it, remains in the family today. MOTHER OF ELEVEN Eleven children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Brody, of whom six are living. Samuel, the eldest son, is 77 years of age and is credited with being the first white child born in Polk Township. The other children are John Brody, who lives on the old homestead, and with whom the mother handmade her home for some time; Alex Brody of Urbana; William Brody, of Vinton; Mrs. Chas. Kirkland, of Atkinson, Neb., and Mrs. David Shepherd, of Ontario, Calif. There is also one brother, J. H. Osborne, of Marion. In addition to holding the record as the oldest settler in Benton County, Mrs. Brody held a record on number of descendents. Her grandchildren number 50, her great-Grandchildren number 90, and in the fifth generation, the great great grandchildren, there are 19 living.
