Notes for LOUISE JULIE 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 been  killed during World War 1. 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.

Notes for LEONTINE THERESE BRADY:
Children appear with brother Adhemar Brady's family in 1880 US Census and Leontine is not there, so we consider that she is deceased by 1880. In the 1870 census Leontine's husband is found in Montgomery, Alabama and she is still living in Summerfield, so maybe they are divorced?

  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 Eloi Joseph LEROY, filled with honor and national credit the most exalted positions in  his 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.
