by Jane A. Leavell

Generation No. 1

1. BERNARD BRADY was born Abt. 1810 in County Cavan, Ireland, and died September 08, 1893 in Tipton County, Indiana. He married MARY CUSHING or maybe CUSHION. She was born abt. 1822 in Ireland, and died Abt. 1898 in Tipton County, Indiana. St Johns Catholic Row 7 Grave 16 has a tombstone reading "Brady (illegible) Cavin Ireland died Sept 8, 1893 aged 86 years" See that and a second more modern tombstone for him, wife Mary, and son John at findagrave.com's Bernard Brady page.

Obituary, 11 June 1927
.....This morning at 3:30 o'clock Bernard B. Brady, one of the best known and well respected farmers of this county, died at his home northeast of Tipton two and one-half miles, death fallowing an attack of heart trouble and paralysis suffered two weeks ago. Mr. Brady had not been in good health for some time but his condition did not become critical until after his attack which was a slight stroke. The passing of Bernard Brady removes from this community one it's pioneers.
.....Mr. Brady was born in Dearborn county, April 10th, 1858, a son of Bernard and Mary (Cushion) Brady, pioneers of that county. He was one of ten children, William Brady, north of Tipton; Mrs. Katherine McQuade of Newcastle and Mrs. Elizabeth Dacy, Mrs. Ellen Fanning and Misses Mary and Frances Brady all of Cincinnati, being the survivors.
.....Following his marriage to Miss Belle Conley, daughter of Thomas and Mary (Lovett) Conley, in 1893, he and his bride went west to Wichita Falls, Texas, where they resided for a short time and where their eldest daughter, Isabelle was born. They then removed to this county purchasing the farm on which they since resided.
.....In addition to the widow, he is survived by the following children, Mrs. Joseph B. Mattingly, Tipton, Mrs. Leo Casey and Mrs. James Ward of Gary; Charles Brady, South Bend and Angela, Harold and Joseph at home.

Burial: St. John's Catholic Cemetery, Tipton, Tipton County, IN St Row 6 Grave 8. Tombstone has "Bernard Brady" and the dates 1858 and 1927 separated by a cross.

.....Bernard Brady Jr. was a very extroverted man with the Irish gift of gab. Never weighing less than 200 pounds, still he was never heavy, and he'd sit at the head of the table swigging cream from the crock. He knew the family jokes and myths, and was easygoing, but very much the head of the house.
.....He played the violin for square dances.
.....Bernard suffered from an illness--perhaps typhoid or diphtheria--and went to Texas for three years for his health. He used to talk of "sledding" in Texas, which was how they traveled/transported things, but Dan Mattingly always pictured him wrapped in furs in the snow! He was chased through the snow once by wolves, reporting that they kept gaining, and he kept shooting. (Once he claimed to have shot at wolves so far away that the barrel of his rifle stretched.) While in Texas, he owned the first threshing machine in the area, and cut others' crops for pay. His Texas land was bought for a dollar to a dollar and half per acre from a realtor named Mr. Clark, and he had 300 acres, forty miles from the nearest town, much not at all tillable. There were two log cabins, one for storage, and one outhouse. Bernard loved it there. He built a log cabin, and Belle joined him--possibly in the Wichita Falls area. The water there had to be hauled in barrels, and sat in the sun, becoming brown and bad-tasting, so she developed boils and got sick. Grandma Brady came out to be with them when Isabelle Ursula Brady was born. There's still a place near Wichita Falls called Brady, Texas; was it named for our family?
.....Apparently, while they were separated, Bernard and Belle sent many love letters illustrated with stick people hugging and kissing. Belle kept them hidden in a box, but one day Angela found them and read with Irene, and that night they gave themselves away by giggling at the table. Belle checked the letters, saw they'd been moved, and cried and cried, saying, "I might as well burn them. They aren't a secret now."
.....When Isabelle Ursula was a few months old, they sold the Texas farm for one in North (or possibly South) Dakota, sight unseen. (Oil was found on our land in Texas after we traded it off!) The family took a train to Tipton that fall, and Bernard went up first, and when he found the cattle lying frozen stiff, he sold it, and returned to Tipton County, Indiana, to a log cabin where Charlie and Irene were born.
.....Later the log cabin was moved back and the Brady farmhouse was built on the site; when Angela was born, the new house was still incomplete. Eventually the log cabin was torn down, for it was covered with straw and rat-infested. Bernard had a .22 Winchester; he would corner the rats the barn, have Angela shine a light on them, then rush to the house for the rifle while she was trembling in the barn with the rats. One night everyone got a club and he set fire to the cabin, sending the rats squealing out into the yard. Angela got so excited she hit little John Mattingly instead of a rat and sent him flying.
.....In Tipton, the Brady farm was on Division Road, known as "Academy Road" for the Catholic school there. The house was 1 ½ miles from the Academy, where Bernard Jr. planted trees along the school's drive. Angela helped her father build a little garage behind their farm. Seven catalba trees were planted along the front of the lot. The lower right bedroom is where all the kids were born, and Dan CONLEY (see the Conley history) died there.
.....There were always several dogs and cats on the farm--the black-and-white dog in family pictures was Bernard's, called "Spot." Joe had a goat that jumped from the haymow and broke its neck. The Bradys also owned an old pony named Pansy. They also kept geese, and the night before Irene's wedding eight geese that were locked in the back found the gate left open, got into the yard, and "shat" everywhere from the front walk around the house to the back. Angela had to carry buckets and buckets of water to clean that up!

Bernard fancied himself a bit of a prophet--he claimed he foretold horseless buggies and both world wars. His wife used to say, "People'll think you're crazy--quit talking like that!"
.....The Bradys owned the Diana Theater in Tipton, and their children used to sell tickets and watch Rudolph Valentino movies there. Bernard bought the Diana Theater to change the town by stopping the burlesque shows. He'd check the act out at Noblesville first, making sure it was clean...but inevitably on the last night in Tipton they'd change the act, tear off panties and throw them to the crowd, and he'd get so mad! It was too much work for him, doing farming and censoring the shows. His daughter Angela took tickets. Whores would come in from two or three local whorehouses, sporting fox or mink stoles, and watch theater to kill time until the madame, Mrs. Jackson, asked Angela to get Foxy or Minx, naming them by their clothes. Stony Castle was the whorehouse by the railroad juntion, west of the water tank for locomatives. Young Bobby Henderson got a disease there and his mother wrote an article in the newspaper on it. She'd given him money for it to keep him from bothering the local girls!
.....Once, Annie "Whiskers" Huffman, a Rosary Society lady who dressed all in black and resembled an Indian, dunned Bernard for money. She jokingly reached into his pocket for a donation--and found that his pocket was ripped out, and he wasn't wearing any underwear!
.....Bernard was a server at Cicero much of the time. He played the organ at mission churches all around the district almost every week. He had a small organ at home. He rode around to the churches in a little buggy. He bought his first car, a Hains, 1918 or so, the year before Isabelle married. The barn was getting dilapidated and they were saving money to fix it, but Isabelle was marrying up in society, so he got the car! Isabelle was mad because the barn looked so bad. When he died, Charlie or Uncle John took the family to St. John's Church.
.....The priest in Tipton, Father Bilstein (born 12 Feb. 1867, ordained 7 June 1891, pastor of St. John parish 1913--1945, died 5 April 1945), had a rifle and liked shooting squirrels, but Bernard didn't like shooting animals, though he did go along.

When the bishop confirmed him as "Bernard Benedict Brady," he stumbled over the Latin, saying, "Bernard--Bernardus Benedictus Brady," and Bernard decided he'd been given an extra name. He carved four "B's" onto the porch steps in honor of his new name.

Somehow he was always the last one in church. Father Bilstein, his friend, would stop and stare him down. Bernard didn't mind--he kind of liked the attention--but the kids were mortally embarrassed and would slip into other pews. "Well, it's you again, huh? You'll be late for your own funeral," the strict German would grunt. "You'd still be late if you lived in the shadow of the church." Two or three blocks from the church, the tire blew on Bernard's hearse, and they rolled to the church plunkety-plunk on the rim. Everyone turned to each other and gasped. He WAS late for his own funeral!
.....He died of a stroke. The porch floor had rotted around the pump, and he worked hard on it all Saturday afternoon. The job was too big, but he wouldn't quit. Finally he lay on the davenport, red as beefsteak, and couldn't seem to get enough water. That night he slept well, and the next morning he sat up to prepare for church. "There's nothing wrong with me that a little religion won't help," he snapped. But the family heard a thump; he fell. It took everyone in the house to get him into bed--they seemed to feel it was important, and didn't go for help until after that was done. The doctor diagnosed a cerebral stroke. He stayed home, and his left arm went up and down all the time. Although he had numerous small strokes, he was conscious off and on, but two weeks later he was buried.

Jun 1941 , Tipton Co, Indiana (but what newspaper?)

William always kept his word, couldn't abide quarreling, and was considerate of others. The storyteller of the family, he played violin for square dances. He was a field man for the Stokely Brothers cannery, a member of the St. John's Society, and of the Knights of Columbus, per his obituary, which described him as "a happy, jovial man, always ready to see the bright side of every problem" and mentioned "his ready Irish wit."

Amelia was a German-blooded lady who'd always said she'd marry an Irishman. She liked to read.

OBITUARY FOR WILLIAM:
William H. Brady, 70, well known farmer residing northeast of Tipton two miles, died suddenly at his home Tuesday evening about 5:30 o'clock, of an acute heart attack. Mr. Brady had finished the evening work at the barns, his last task being the milking of five cows and he carried the two buckets of milk to the house and set them on the rear porch. He called his wife and told her he was very sick with what he thought was an attack of indigestion. Mrs. Brady prepared him a drink of soda water which he drank and appeared to be better. After remaining seated on the porch a short time he arose and entered the house, and his wife heard him fall. Rushing to his side she found him breathing heavily and unable to speak. She called a doctor, out but death had occurred probably an instant after he fell, according to the opinion of the doctor. The body was removed to the Young funeral home on West Jefferson street for preparation, and will he returned to the home Wednesday evening to lie in state until the hour of services. Tentative plans have been made for holding the service at St. John's Church at 9 o'clock Friday morning. Friends may call at the home at any time after Wednesday evening. William H.

.....The death of Mrs Joseph B. Mattingly at her home southeast of Tipton came as a great shock to the family and friends of this splendid woman. Death which occurred about 4:30 Saturday morning, was caused by infection arising in child birth. The baby was born dead and complications arising caused the death of the mother. The death is a sad one and the sorrowing husband and other relatives have the sincere sympathy of all.

He was born December 14, 1904 in Louisville, Kentucky and died 1981. Angela and Herb were buried in St. Joseph's Catholic Cemetery, Elwood, Madison, Indiana.

Notes for ANGELA GERTRUDE BRADY:
.....Phil Ryan's mother died when he was born, and his father blamed him--they found his father giving him a bottle of milk clabbered sour, with a fly in it! Katie Craven raised Phil, willed her home to him and two sisters. He got $1000 and with it bought a Ford coupe, a watch for Angela, and would date her--he taught her to drive. When he was under 16 he joined the Army; when he got out he was young and bored, so he started working for Joe Mattingly and took the front room upstairs. Although he loved her, she saw him as a big brother, so he left for Santa Barbara, California. Angela said he married a nice half-Mexican woman dancer and had three children. She heard he was crushed and killed in road construction work, but he came to the farm in Tipton for a visit the year before they moved to Elwood.
.....Angela had a handsome boyfriend in Tipton of whom her brother Charlie disapproved. When the man died of appendicitis, she attended the funeral over Charlie's protests. As she entered and put a bouquet of flowers on his casket, the KKK marched in in full regalia, pushed aside her flowers, and put a cross of white flowers on the casket. Charlie had suspected his allegiance to the Klan, who were strongly anti-Catholic. (In Tipton, there was no one else for them to hate!)
.....Angela also used to date Raymond Moochie (spelling?), called "Sam." He helped Margaret Ward (see the Ward history on this website) cook on their 1925 train trip to California. Before leaving, he told Herb Wheatley to take care of Angela while he was gone; by the time he came back, it was too late. They were in love.
.....Herb retired from Delco Remy in Anderson in December of 1966. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus, UAW 662 Retirees Club, and a founding member of St. Joseph's Cemetery Association 1968, especially interested in setting up the crucifixion scene and construction of the permanent altar. He died at Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana.
.....Angela was the biggest influence on Rita (Ward) Leavell as a wife and mother, and in great part she raised her niece when Edna Brady Ward died. Angela also told family stories to Rita's daughter Jane, who wrote them down and built this website. Rita's children called her "Grandma Wheatley."
.....On Decoration Day, Bernard said the organ was broken so there would be no wedding march played on it for Angela's wedding. He would have the bellringer give one ding, then play the regular bells. The next day, she thought she heard the bell, marched to the altar, and THEN the organ played "Here Comes the Bride" and she had to stand there through it!

Children of Angela Brady and Herbert Wheatley include:

10. EDNA MARGARET BRADY (BERNARD, BERNARD) was born October 22, 1904 in Tipton County, Indiana, and died May 16, 1936 in Tipton County, Indiana. She married JAMES WARD May 24, 1926 in St. John's Catholic Church, Tipton County, Indiana. Edna and Angela used to pose in bathing suits on the Mattingly farm, trying to keep the farm animals out of sight so they could send "beach pictures" to their family in Arizona. Edna would be talking away, telling stories, when her sisters worked. She used to work at Fletcher bank in Indianapolis, taking the streetcar home. Angela and Herb Wheatley arranged a blind date for her with James WARD (see the history on this website), who seemed more Angela's type than Edna's, for he was no "swinger." But they hit it off right away and were married even before Herb and Angela, on 4 May 1926 in St. John's Catholic Church in Tipton, Indiana. They moved to Gary, Indiana, where Jim worked in the steel mill. Edna contracted scarlet fever just after attending the funeral for Isabelle Brady Mattingly--family legend insists she got it on the train ride there and back. It led to rheumatic fever, and the weakened heart killed her.

Children of EDNA BRADY and JAMES WARD are:
