Notes for JULES EDWARD DEBRADY:
Jules DeBrady was born and educated in Paris France, educated at the College of Douai and Polytecnic Military School of Paris. He taught in Leige (Brussels), and at a Woman's' college in Marion, Alabama.I do not have verification about his education or his teaching in Brussels, but do have proof he taughtin Marion, AL. Brady's love was music and loved to perform while living in Paris at sidewalk cafes. Upon arriving in the US he dropped the De from his surname and from then on went by Brady. Jules and Albine lived for a brief period of time in England, Canada and North Carolina before settling in Dallas County, Alabama.In the census records we have located his place of birth is recorded as France and Ireland, so we really do not know for sure what country he was really born in. From the records on Rebeka Smith, they must have arrived in America in the early 1850s. I cannot locate this family in a census before 1850.
Jules and his wife Albine LeRoy Brady bought a home inSummerfield, Alabama, right outside of Selma. They appear in the 1860 US Census with wife and 6 children. Word has been passed down that he joined the service in 1861 to serve in the Civil War. We do not know what his responsibilities were or where he served.If we have his age correct, he would have been 41 at the time he enlisted. We do know that he returned home, since he and Albine had another child, born in 1865.He appears in LA in 1868 and started a company called "Louisiana Sulphur and Petroleum Co.", as he was trying to drill in Calsasieu Parish on some land he bought there. .He gets into the oil drilling business and is somewhat successful with this.Albine told everybody when she moves to Florida she is a widow. Do not know if they ever divorce or did he just move away and start another family. In his will, he does not mention or name anyone in his first family.
Jules and his second wife Anna, also from Belgiumhad a beautiful home in Madisonville, which as to date, is still in use. It is a guest cottage for a ship yard company there.The property was the home of John B. Baham and was built c. 1840.
Article taken from The St. Tammany Historical Society GazetteDated March 1980
"Jules purchased the property on February 19, 1871. He bought the property from J.E. Vigurie.Additionally he purchased land north of the Baham property known as Jeffersonville.Brady used some of this land as a turpentine orchard.An article in the St. Tammany Farmer, March 8, 1879, reported that Brady suffered a loss of 800 boxes of turpentine and serious damage to his trees.The Farmer attributed this to persons setting grass fires in the woods.Brady built a wharf on the Tchefuncte Riverwhere schooners collected his products for shipment to New Orleans. The place was called Brady's Landing.
On February 2, 1886, a fire at Brady's home destroyed the kitchen and barn, doing about $400 damage. A new kitchen was added to the side of the house. Anna Candon Brady and her children, Marie Brady Cass, Edward, Jules, Josephine, and Laura Marie attempted to sell the property in 1887.They were blocked in doing so by Brady's first wife and children.
Jules, at one time, represented St. Tammany Parish in the General Assembly and served as a member of the Police Jury."
No records forhim serving in the Civil War have been located, but still working on this.

Notes for ALBINE LEROY:
In a letter from Albine's daughter-in-law to my Aunt Mary Wooten in the late 1940s, most of Albine's brothers and sisters were believed to have beenkilled during the war. Adhemar LeRoy, Albine's brother was the only one to survive this conflict. The family never heard from the rest of their family.
Albine brought with her from Europe, a 15 year old girl,always listed as a friend by the name of Rebekah Smith. Rebekah was born in Ireland in 1835 and always is listed in the Brady household. Rebekah died 6 years before Albine and this must have devastated Albine.
1870 Census list Real Estate value at 8000 and property value at 600.
There is a brief biography of Albine in the Titusville History Books:
" A widow with seven children came to homestead in LaGrange in 1873. She had once known wealth and high position.
Albine LeRoy Brady's father, Dr. Henry LeRowas was a physician to the King of Belgium. But Albine had married an Irishman and moved to Canada, leaving behind her luxuries.she ahd her husband later settled in Summerfield, AL.
As a widow with a big family, she pulled up stakes and moved to Florida with great hopes for the future. The way was often rough, but the Brady name was to be known throughout the area."
Comments: I know now Albine was not a widow, but her husband left her after the war, removed to LA and started another family. Upon Jules death in LA, Albine protested the will. Do not know if they were ever legally divorced or if he were a bigamist.Also there is contradicting information on where the children were born, how old they are, etc. The census records keep changing age and place of birth, so same as Albine's husband Jules, we don't have proof of what year they came to America, how many children came with themand how many were born here. In the census of 1860 it states two children born in North Carolina, but have not found proof to document this either, two in England and the rest in Alabama.In the write-up about her death it states she moves to Florida in 1876, but have not located her in the 1880 census records in Florida. She does appear in the 1885 Florida census records.
Article written by Father Curley, who late became Bishop of St. Augustine and still later on Bishop of Baltimore until his death.
Death of Mrs. Albine Brady
" On Tuesday evening, at 8:30, fortified by the last rites of her church, surrounded by her children and grand children, Mrs. Albine Brady passed peacefully from this to a better and happier life at the ripe age of 84.
The deceased was descended from one of the first families of Belgium.Her father, Dr. Henri Eloy Joseph LeRoy, filled with honor and national credit the most exalted positions in Chs native city of Soignies, where he reached the very apex of distinction in his chosen profession of medicine.
Nothing can give to readers of this imperfect sketch a better idea of the lofty social standing and remarkable qualities of the LeRoy family than the fact that the father of our departed citizen was deemed worthy of the highest decorations for distinguished services which his country could confer.When still in the prime of life hew was made the recipient of the much coveted "Croix de fer."Afterwards he was decorated by the Belgian monarch with the order of "Knight of Leopold," and finally the highest honor of the literary and scientific world was conferred upon him when he was made a member of the "Royal Academy of Science."
Educational advantages of the first order were enjoyed by the children of Dr. LeRoy, and it required but little perspicuity to discern after a short conversation with her that Mrs. Brady was a lady of exceptional culture, keen mind, great ability and of marked personality, qualities which shone forth with undimmed lustre even in her declining years.She came to America shortly after her marriage and made Florida her home in 1876.
In her passing from our midst our town has lost one whose life was a bright beacon of brilliant example, serving the animate others in their efforts to love and serve God.Her deep, intense love for her children was scarcely ever equaled.Her humble submission to God's will in her affliction when sight failed her, was most admirable and made a lasting impression on all who had the pleasure of meeting her.Her life was actuated in its every moment by love of God.Her faith was dearer to her than life, for from that noble faith she drew ineffable consolations always, but particularly when life's sun was fast sinking behind the hills of time, to rise on the unending shore of eternity.
"Death loves a shining mark, " and certainly when its cold unrelenting hand settled on our dear departed one it came to to take to a higher sphere a shining light, effulgent with every good quality of head and heart.Gone to enjoy the eternal beauties of the Beatific Vision! Gone! But ne'er to be forgotten! Gone! Yes, but with us lingers still The sweet aroma of her lovely life to be a powerful incentive to noble lives as was undoubtedly hers.To her children, one and all, we extend our warmest sympathy and sincerest condolence in their sorrow."M.J.C.

| Notes for REBEKAH SMITH(ALWAYS LISTED AS ROOMATE): Rebekah Smith came to America with Albine and Jules when she was only 15 years old. ObituaryEast Coast Advocate, September 7, 1900 SMITH - Rebekah Smith was born in Ireland in 1835, and died in Titusville, Florida, September 1st, 1900. The subject of this sketch was, in many respects, the most remarkable woman I ever knew. At the age of fifteen years she formed a strong attachment for Mrs. Albine Brady, then a resident of North Ireland, and forsaking all ties of flesh and blood, she clung to her for over half a century, with a devotion as beautiful as it was constant.Never once in fifty years did she manifest the least desire to sever her companionship with Mrs. Brady; never once did she, by word or look betray the faintest wish to go back to her native country, or to renew the acquaintances of long ago.She was happy in the home in which she seemed to have been grafted- grafted in by the ties of love and friendship that only the hand of death could rend asunder. Miss Smith's devotion to children was only excelled by Him who said: "Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not."Mrs. Brady's children were the objects of her greatest love -- a love that to me seemed to partake more of heavenly purity than of earthly affection. Miss Smith was the one person of my acquaintance whom I regarded as utterly unselfish.It was the suffering of others that appealed to her--never her own, although she was for many years a great physical sufferer.She was never happier than when relieving the anguish of others; never so radiant and buoyant as when contributing to the enjoyment of some one other than herself.As a Christian, she was a spiritual star of the first magnitude.Modest and retiring to a fault, she shone only into the lives of those nearest to her.But the splendors of that life have left an indelible impression upon the few, and though gone from earth, her good deeds are reflected upon the canvas of time and memory like the tints of a gorgeous sunset upon the clouds of Heaven.Today she lies beneath the sod, but her pure, constant and beautiful life is enshrined in the hearts of those who drop the silent tear upon her flowery tomb.A faithful member of the Protestant Episcopal Church, she has gone to join the militant church above, where praises never cease, and worship is an eternal round of heavenly bliss. The last sad rites were performed by Rev. B.F. Brwon, rector of the Episcopal Church, Titusville, Florida and the body was laid way to rest in the LaGrange cemetery." This was written by A.D. Penny |

| Notes for EDWARD L. BRADY: From Titusville History Biography: Brady's Were Early Grocerymen By Guinton Sherrer The first permanent settlers to North Brevard came for a variety of reasons with varied hopes and ambitions.Some brought happy memories with them.Others left blighted paths behind and planned to begin life anew in Titusville. A widow with seven children came to homestead in LaGrange in 1873. She hd once known wealth and high position. Albine LeRoy Brady's father, Dr. Henry LeRoy was physician to the King of Begim. But Albine had married an Irishman and moved to Canada, leaving behind her luxuries.She and her husband later settled in Summerfield, Ala. As a widow with a big family, she pulled up stakes and moved to Florida with great homes for the future. The way was often rough But the Brady name was to be known throughout the area. Today Albine's great-grandson, Dr. Louis P. Brady of Orlando is an orthopedic surgeion and R.C. Brady of Titusville is well-known citurs grower and a member of Titusville-Sanford canal district. Early History Once of Albine's sons was Adhemar Brady, who succeeded Mis Naricissa Feaster as teacher at the "first public free school in Brevard County" in LaGrange.Adhemar Brady later filled the office of County School Superintendent of Public Instruction. Under his guidance there were 21 public schools in existence by 1882 on a total teachers salary of $2500. In the early days county and school board script was down to 20 to 30 cents on a dollar. School teachers salaries were as low as $12 per month.Some of the early teachers were called "the salt of the earth." Two other of Albine's sons - Louis and Edward Brady operated a grocery store at Julia and Washington (where Bryan, Conway and Winstead Realty is now). Louis' son, R. C. Brady, Sr. known by all his friends as Converse or "Connie, " says the grocery was opened about 1880 and was sold in 1945 after serving Titusville for about 65 years. In the early days groceries were delivered by horse and wagon but when Converse Brady was a lad helping his dad and uncle in the store, he drove a model T turck. " We delivered groceries at no extra cost and often we were still delivering at 1 a.m. on Sunday." he remembered. "Mr. Duren ran the meat market and the Bradys had the grocery store.We carried the famous can good selection known as Royal Scarlet distributed by the R.C. Williams Co. out of New York. We were the exclusive handler of their products in Titusville, " Connie Brady said. He began as a delivery boy and wound up as the store's bookkeeper.Today he is in the citrus business and is the only surviving child of Louis and Daisy Brady.The other two children Lawrence, II and L.P. Brady are buried in LaGrange cemetery as are many of the Brady family members. Obituary for Edward L. Brady copiedfrom the Titusville Star Advocate 1-29-1929 (page 2, column 6-8) " Edward L. Brady, 70, pioneer resident of Titusville who died at his home in Miami last Saturday, was buried at Miami yesterday afternoon, funeral services being held at an Episcopal church in that city.Mr. Brady had been ailing fro about a year.He leaves his wife, Mrs. Julia Brady; three daughters, Mrs. J. C. Rowan of Concord, N.C.; Mrs. Frank Wooten of Camden, S.C. and Mrs. Jean E. Lind of Miami, all of whom were with him at his death, and a brother, Louis A. Brady, of Titusville, and a sister, Mrs. W. N. Henry, residing in Miami.Mr. Brady went to Miami 33 years ago from Titusville and established a grocery business there known as the E.L. Brady Cormany, which he continued for more than 20 years until he retired several years ago.His store was on the corner of Flagler and Miami Ave. opposite the Bank of Bay Biscayne. He was one of the very earliest settlers in Titusviile, and started the store here now known as E. L. Brady and Co.When Henry Flagler built the F.F.C. Railroad, Mr. Brady, with several others from Titusville, including former mayor Ed. Romph of Miami went to Miami where they all engaged in business. It is believed that every one of those who went with Flagler, became wealthy. Orange Grower One of the finest orange groves in this section was owned by Mr. Brady, and he owned other groves in this section that made him one of the largest owners of citrus acreage. Mr. Brady was well known in this section of the state and also in Miami, and was highly respected in both places. Duringlate years he had been under the care of physicians for his health. J.J. Parrish of Titusville, an old friend, attended the funeral yesterday." |

| Notes for CAROLINE WILSON: Obituary for Caroline Brady from the Indian River Advocate, June 2, 1893; pg. 4, column 3 CAROLINE BRADY ----------- This community was pained to learn last Tuesday morning that Caroline Brady, wife of E. L. Brady, had passed from this life at 9:00 o'clock the night before. The deceased had been ill for several months, and for the past few weeks the vital spark was so very feeble her relatives and friends realized that there was little if any ground for hope. The cause of death was intestinal tuberculosis, or consumption of the bowels.Everything that human skill could suggest, or that the sympathy of loving hearts could prompt or dictate, was done to alleviate her suffering and avert the untimely end; but an inscrutable providence had decreed otherwise, and the soul which had suffered so hopefully, so patiently, left its earthly tenement and passed to the brighter life beyond. The funeral services were held at St. Gabriel's P.E. Church, on Tuesday, the 30th at 10 o'clock a.m., Rev. B.F. Brown officiating, in the presence of the bereaved relatives and a large congregation of sorrowing friends. The remains were conveyed to the church and placed in the centre isle, immediately in front of the chancel. James Pritchard, W. M. Brown, C. F. Fischer, Geo. M. Robbins, Richard Rhodes and Walter S. Graham, intimate friends of the grief-stricken husband, and all gentlemenwho held the deceased in highest esteem, acting as pall bearers. The choir rendered the beautiful hymn "Nearer my God to Thee," which was a special favorite of the dead, and the sweet words touched a tender responsive chord in each heart as they thought that their dead friend had realized the prayer of her favorite song. Rev. Mr. Brown then followed with a few brief, well chosen remarks, and after the choir rendered another beautiful hymn: "I heard the voice of Jesus say, Come unto me and rest; Lay down thou weary one, lay down, Thy head upon my breast," The congregation was dismissed from the church, and all who could be accommodated with vehicles followed the remains to the grave, where the burial services were concluded.Very many friends were present at the interment, and remained with bowed heads until the grave was filled, when the lady friends of the deceased came forward and in silent sorrow, full of sad thoughts, and with tears for one who had shared their hearts while in life, and covered the mound with floral offerings. Caroline Brady was a devoted wife, a model mother, and in her sphere as a friend and member of the community, was noted for her modest demeanor, and highly respected for her praiseworthy character. She was a steadfast and useful member of St. Gabriel's church, and ever ready to aid good works.She was an officer of the Axillary society and an active member of the Ladies' Guild, connecting with the church, which body will not soon forget the modest member and steadfast supporter it has lost. The deceased was born at Love Grove, near St. Nicholas, in Duval county, on June 12, 1862. She was the daughter of James Young Wilson, whose death was noted in these columns a few months ago.When the deceased was three years of age her parents moved to Jacksonville, where she was raised and received her education.In that city she was married in October, 1880 to Edward L. Brady.Shortly after the marriage they moved to LaGrange, this county, where Mr. Brady embarked in business and remained until 1886, when he moved to Titusville, and at once took a position which he has held ever since as one of our most prominent merchants, six years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Brady moved to Titusville and took up their home in the neat cottage they had erected, where they lived at the time of her death. Beside the husband, who is left to mourn the loss of a faithful and devoted wife, there are two bright children, Miss Alline and Miss Daisy, who will miss the loving care which none but a mother can give. Mr. Brady will continue to occupy the home and retain his daughters, to rear and educate them under his personal care and direction. The death of Mrs. Brady was a subject of wide-spread sorrow and regret, but it was known that the angel of death had been hovering near for many days. "Then fell upon the house a sudden gloom; A shadow on those features fair and thin, And softly from the hushed and darkened room Two angels issued where but one went in."
