Mary's baptism took place in Bristol, Pennsylvania. Since Bristol did not have a Catholic church, clergy came from Trenton, New Jersey. Original records are located at the Church of the Sacred Heart, Trenton, New Jersey. Her sponsors were William Brady and Ann Gormdly. From the witnesses at the christening both Terence and Bridget's familes are represented. William is Terence's brother and Ann Gormley Brady is Bridget's father James second wife.

William Ogden emigrated to the United States of America from Lincolnshire, England in 1842. William age 5, accompanied his widowed mother Elizabeth Madder Ogden, brothers James L., Samuel and sisters Sarah and Ann. The family had joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints or "Mormons" and moved to Nauvoo, Hancock County, Illinois to be with other members of their new church. After arriving at Nauvoo, mother Elizabeth Ogden married a George Nelson who was also a Mormon at that time. Elizabeth had two additional sons John and Joseph which are listed in the 1850 census in Nauvoo. Whether it was because Elizabeth was expecting a child or another reason, George and Elizabeth Ogden Nelson did not evacuate Nauvoo with the rest of the Latter Day Saints that went to Utah but rather chose to stay behind. In 1850 the excitement of California's gold rush prompted brother James to leave Nauvoo for the gold fields. William at age thirteen chose to accompany his brother James to California. Whether William made any money is not known. According to Brady descendant Rev. William Joseph Ogden also a grandson of James L. Ogden; "In California he got enough gold to buy three 160 acre farms, but gambled one away, drank up a second, but still got back with enough to buy what became the Ogden homestead east of Nauvoo".
On May 8, 1865 William married Mary Elizabeth Brady, oldest daughter of Terence and Bridget Brady whose homestead was a little less than two miles south east of the James L. Ogden family where William was living. William is listed as a farm hand on his brother James farm in Sonora Township in the 1860 census.
William and Mary's first four children were born in Nauvoo Mary Ann being born July 28, 1872. On March 23, 1873 William converted to Catholism and was christened at Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Nauvoo, Illinois. By March of 1875 the family had moved across the Mississippi River to Decatur County, Iowa just outside of the town of Leon where son John F. Ogden is born. The area was called Ireland due the number of people whose families had come from Ireland. William and Mary lived on this farm until the time of William's death in 1912. By 1920 Mary had moved to Des Moines, Polk County, Iowa where she lived until her death in 1922 with daughter Josephine A. and her husband Harry Lewis Barquist. Both William and Mary were buried at Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Cemetery in Sonora Township, Hancock County, Illinois.

Including John W. Wallace, twelve Catholic Irish immigrants entered or purchased land in Woodland Township during the 1850's.

"Mrs. John M. Kendall.
The reaper death silently but reientlessly gathers in his daily harvest of immortal souls. Many are the ripened sheaves of bright golden grain that are garnered into the vast granery beyond. Death loves a shining mark, and the sable angel won a decided victory in this respect in the sad but not unexpected death of Mrs. kate kendall, wife of John M. Kendall of this city, at the age of 60 years, 5 months and 10 days. Mrs. Kendall had been ill for about two years with jaundice. At times she seemed to greatly improve, and her friends and family looked for a complete recovery at no distant day. A week ago last Sunday she again became suddenly worse, and gradually sank , until Monday afternoon at 3:10 o'clock, when she was called from her earthly home to that lord wherer some pain and sickness are unknown. For some time prior to her death she had been a great sufferer, yet she bore her suffering with fortitude and patience, looking forward to the time when her spirit would spring from its prison of clay. The deceased was born in Green county, Ohio, December 8th, 1835. her maiden name was Kate Smith, but she was better known as Kate Nimrick. She removed with her parents from Centerville, Ill., to Nauvoo, in 1848, and has resided in Nauvoo and immediate vicinity ever since. On December 9th, 1868, she was united in marriage to Mr. John M. Kendall in this city. Three children were born to this union, Lulu, Maud and Atha, who, with the husband, one sister, Mrs. R. D. Cogswell of Rogers, Ark., and one brother, S. H. Nimrick, of Dubuque, Ia., survives her. Mrs, Cogswell was present at the bedside of her sister during her last moments. In all her relations of life she has left comforting and precious memories to those who loved her and a bright example of christian patience, cheerfulness and resignation to the will of heaven. She was a true wife and mother, and while she has been called away to a better world, yet she is deeply mourned in the home she made so bright. The sympathy of many friends is extended to the bereaed relatives. The funeral took place from the residence Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, and the remains were followed to their last resting place by a large number of sympathizing friends, but the prevailing rain during the afternoon prevented a great many others from attending the funeral. Rev. G. A. Pflug conducted the services. The floral offerings were most beautiful, and touching tribute of the esteem in which she was held. Misses Mary Valet and Cora Pitt acted as flower girls.

The upstairs' carpets, beds, bedding, clothing, etc., were all consumed in a short time, and sparks and cinders rendered all help vain. The whole building was soon burned to the ground. It is not known how the fire started, as there was very little fire started, as there was very little fire in the stoves that day, but it was enough to render them homelss and houseless in a short time.

"Anna Brady Jackson
My heart has ever esteemed the, my dear,
For thy deep sense of justice and right;
For the spirit that ne'er brooked deceit,
But e'er battled 'gainst wrong and its blight,
I know thy friendship is strong as 'tis true,
And is warm as the sunbeams are bright.
When Angelus' bell rings out at high noon,
And silhouettes dance no more on the lea;
When flowers dispense their sweetest perfume,
And the porpoise disorts on the sea---
When come the warm winds from the southland,
Dear Anna, thine image I see."

"Adelle Brady
Hast thou ever dreamed sweet fancies
From thy childhood's earliest hours?
Have they wrapped thy gentile spirt
In leaves of fragrant flowers?
Have these girlhood-loving fancies
Come on silver wings of thought,
Have they whispered to thee gently
Of Mysteries Angels wrought?
This would be a dreary desert,
If it always seemed to thee,
To be a dull and dismal planet
That pessimists always see.
Let thy fancy catch the tear drops,
And clothe them with love-light,
Till Heaven smiles upon thee,
Like angels fair and bright."

"Clara Brady
In a home where the Stork had its nest,
Came a sweet babe near Mother to rest:
They name her Clara for clearness and light,
That Angels preserve her from sin's dark
blight.
To this home where nest of the stork was built,
The Columbine never was known to wilt;
Came the babe Clara all hearts to cheer,
Each hour and day of that happy year!
Now Clara has bloomed into fair womanhood,
Gay and sweet as bird in wildwood,
She has cheerfully lent all willing aid,
To parents filial devotion has paid."

"Mary, Anna, Lucy, Bernadette, Otillia, Bessie and Julia Moffitt
The clear, bright blue sky of Nauvoo,
Reflects the light of your soulful eyes,
And Virtue's beauty, like stars in the skies,
Shines forth from hearts that are faithful and
true.The beautiful vales, and river and dells,
Where your girlhood days have ever been
spent:
Rich harvest, rare fruits and flowers have lent
Fair charms 'round a home where peace e'er
dwells.The seven strong links in a mother's fair chain
The seven fine pearls from God's own land,
Are bound together with spiritual band:
Fine pearls, of which mother may well be vain.And Julia, the fairest, the cherished dove,
Long since took flight with angels on high:
To realms of bliss, beyond the blue sky,
To the Heart of Jesus, the home of pure love."The Happy Girls of St. Mary's, by Mother Ottilia Hoeveller O.S.B., St. Mary's Convent, Nauvoo, Illinois, 1913.

The legions of friends of our highly respected and venerable citizen, Mr. James Moffitt, will be sorry to hear that he recived a stroke of paralysis, last Monday, and that he now lies in a precarious condition at the home of his son (Thomas N.Moffitt) in Sonora township. Mr. Moffitt became a victim of the grip during the epedemic of the fall of 1890, and at the time was very low. He had never fully recovered, and has been in delicate health ever since. Previous to having the grip he had a rugged constitution and was a well-preserved man. Owing to his advanced age his present distress is a very serious matter. Mr. Moffitt is one of the pioneers of Hancock county, and knows as much if not more of the history of the Mormon reign in this city than any living man."

On last Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, Mr. James Moffitt, after a useful life of 73 years 9 months, departed from this earth to a higher tribunal and a land of peace and happiness, where there is no weeping and sorrow for those who have passed a christian life on this earth of trials and sorrow. Mr. Moffitt was born in Sligo county, Ireland, and came to this locality in 1830, where he has resided ever since. He was one of the first settlers in Sonora township, was one of our beloved citizens and was honored and respected by all who knew him. He leaves to mourn his departure a spn and daughter. Mr. T. N. Moffitt and Mrs. A. W. Burt, and several grandchildren. Deceased was an upright and honorable man, and his demise caused a dark shadow to cross the hearts of the entire community. Identified possibly with the early history of Nauvoo more than any other one man, he has left an enviable record for his fine judgement and good sense. The love which the people of this vicinity bore him is perhaps the best test of his worth. In the breaking of that bond between father and children, we say may there come peace from the rememberance of those virtues which made hischaracter "pure as a snow flake, perfect as a crystal clear star." Mr. Moffitt was a devoted member of the Catholic church, and a ture christian, from which palce the funeral took place last Thursday morning at 10 o'clock.

38. Terence "Terry" Brady 1 (Bridget Brady
, James
,
) was born on 14 Feb 1854 in Nauvoo, Hancock, Illinois, USA. He was christened on 2 Apr 1854 in Ss. Peter and Paul Catholic Church, Nauvoo, Hancock, Illinois, USA. He died on 19 Jul 1933 in Tulare, California, United States. He was buried in 1933 in Tulare, California, United States.
Terry resided 1860 in Sonora Township, Hancock, Illinois, United States. He resided 1870 in Illinois, United States. He resided 1900 in E1G&MCT&T16, Towner, North Dakota, United States.
Terence Brady, Jr. or Terry as he was called by his family and friends was born in Nauvoo, Hancock county, Illinois on Tuesday, February 14, 1854 which happened to be Valentines Day. A month later his family purchased the farm in Sonora township on which he grew up. At seven months old his father Terence Brady, Sr. while in Bristol, Pennsylvania contracted Typhoid fever and died. Terry grew up never having known his father although he did carry his name. As a boy Terry would fish for Sun fish in the Mississippi River. During the Civil War, Terry was asked to memorize and recite a political position that would have gotten a grown man shot. Terry was likely no older than nine or ten when this occurred. As a boy he was also a choir boy at the Catholic church in Nauvoo. Terry also learned to play the violin and was an extremely good square dancer. He probably learn to play from his brother Michael who also played the fiddle.
As a young man Terry had a romance with a protestant girl that lived on the Iowa side of the Mississippi River. Terry would swim across the Mississippi River to visit her. Evidently his mother objected to Terry marrying a protestant and made him promise not to marry the girl. Years later Terry, his wife Jennie and son Arden visited the woman and her husband. As it turned out she had married a Catholic and Terry had married a Protestant. A stroke of irony to be sure. According to Terry's son Arden it was very evident they the two were very fond of each other.
At the age fifteen Terry began working on boats on the Mississippi River. Terry worked down river as far as New Orlean and up rivier to Minnesota. The work on the Mississippi River evidently ended in April of 1878 at age twenty four when he returned to Nauvoo from having spent five months in the State of Mississippi. Terry's comment to his friends at the Nauvoo Independent, was that "it was too hot for him down there."
Terry was a good fighter which served him well as he also loved to argue. It really didn't matter which side of the issue he would be on. Terry enjoyed the intellectual challege of the debate. On one occation at his brother Michael's house after an arguement, Terry was taking his coat off when an older, bigger man took a swing at him. Terry was so insensed that the man would fight unfair that he "beat the hell out of him" to quote his son Arden.
After a visit to Nauvoo in 1878, Terry joined his brother John, in Austin, Minnesota where he farmed for the next two plus years. In December of 1880, Terry returned to Nauvoo intending to return to Minnesota in the spring. After visiting his family in Nauvoo instead of going back to Minnesota he decided to try his luck in Marshall county, Dakota territory where he established a homestead near the town of Langford. The state of South Dakota was formed November 2, 1889 at which time Terry became a citizen of that state. It appears that about this same time his older brother James also went to the Dakota territory to farm in the Groton area.
In the spring of 1883 new neighbors moved to the adjoining property next to Terry. It was the family of Charles Whitfield who had just moved from Carthage, Missouri. Charles had served in the Michigan 6th and later the Michigan 1st Cavalry during the Civil War. The Michigan 6th Cavalry was commanded by Brevant General George Armstrong Custer and was commonly called the Wolverines. The Michigan 6th Cavalry had cut off General Robert E. Lee's retreat and helped to force the surrender at Appomatix Court House ending the Civil War. After the war ended, Charles had been assigned to the Dakota territory and decided to try his luck homesteading as he already knew the area. Charles's daughter Jennie Belle Whifield who had been born in Green township, Mecosta county, Michigan, was nine years old at the time and would become Terry's wife eleven years later. Jennie's daughter-in-law Helen Campbell Brady recounted that she was told by Jennie how in the early years in the Dakota territory, that they lived in dug out house with a sod roof and collected buffalo chips to burn for fuel.
After being in the Dakota Territory for almost eight years, Terry returned to his home town of Nauvoo, Illinois on January 5, 1889 to visit family and friends. At this time Terry's mother Birdget, sister Elzabeth Moffitt ,brothers Michael and James as well as numerous nieces, nephews and friends were all living in Nauvoo. Terry's sister Catherine Stafford's family lived across the Mississippi River at Fort Madison, Iowa. Terry stayed a little over two months and visited sister Mary Ogden's family in Pleasanton, Iowa as he returned to his home in Langford, Dakota.
On September 15, 1892 Terry and brother James returned to Nauvoo on account of the serious illness of their mother, Bridget who died that same day. Terry stayed for twelve days attending his mother's funeral and visiting family and friends. When he returned to Langford, South Dakota he was accompanied by his neice Anna Brady, a teacher in the Nauvoo area who stayed with him the next two months. This trip was likely the last time Terry ever visited Nauvoo, Illinois where he had grown up. A couple of months after he returned to South Dakota his brother Michael and brother-in-law Thomas Moffitt traveled to South Dakota to visit. It seems likely that while living in South Dakota that Terry would see his brother James who farmed less than thirty miles away.
On October 9, 1894 Terry, now forty years old was married to Miss Jennie Belle Whitfield who at the age of twenty one years old was nineteen years younger. It has been said in the family that Terry had waited for her to grow up in order to get married. On February 28, 1895 their first son, Clare Whitfield Brady was born at Bismark, Custer county, South Dakota. This according to Clare's passport. Why they were in Bismark is not known at this time. Terry and Jennie may have gone to Bismark to be attended by Jennie's Uncle Nathaniel Whitfield who was a physicain and was living in South Dakota. Another son, Victor Brady died at birth or was stillborn in about 1897 and buried on their farm. About this time Charles and Phoebe, Jennies parents made the decision to move to Tacoma, Washington as their daughter Ella and her husband Carl Sutherland had moved there.
Terry's one hundred sixty acre homestead property in Marshall county was patented June 3, 1887. The property bordered the southern boundary of Marshall county. On October 28, 1898 Terry patented an additional one hundred sixty acres adjoining his property in Day county. This brought the total acres he was farming to three hundred twenty acres, half in Marshal county and half in Day county. With the completion of the second land patent, Terry decided to sell his South Dakota property and move to Towner county, North Dakota just outside of the town of Perth. Jennie's health had not been very good since the loss of their son and making a chage seemed to make sense. The decision seems to have also been influenced by the chance to live adjoining the property of George and Maud Whitfield Powlison. Maud was Jennie's first cousin and the daughter of Uncle Nathaniel Whitfield. It must have been fun for Jennie to live next door to her cousin. This is evidenced by photographs of couisns Clare Brady, Kenneth and Keith Powlison all dressed in matching outfits.
On September 3, 1900 a daughter Carol Altura Brady was added to the family. The birth took place shortly after midnight and occurred in the midst of a large tunderstorm.
Terence's baptismal record is located at Saints Peter and Paul Church in Nauvoo, Illinois. The Latin name of Terentium was used for the baptism.

Some sayings of Terence Brady during his last days on earth - recorded by Jennie Whitfield Brady"If you want to ascend, you must be a good climber."
Do & dare, if you think your right, work it out.
Quite a joke if I should happen to know something that younger men think they have learned in college.
Hold on to what you have, get what you can is bigger saying than it might look to be
The monkey may not be very far behind man. A man is only advanced as far as his brain is developed, not much we have to admit.
The physiccal is not so important any way
The hardest things for the human mind to do is let go
What did you ask? do I know the phophets why yes, I know some of the boys, you see they are no greater than I am. When I think right; nor than any others but then, these are big questions. I may not be right. I am on a big lecture tour, but not very well versed in book lore, but I may know something after all.
"Keep right on to the end of the road
Keep right on to the end.
If the way be rough let your heart be strong
Keep right on around the bend.
Though your tired and weary still journey on
Till you come to that happy abode
Where all you've loved and been longing for
Will be there, at the End of the Road!"The only God there is in your own Soul You can not lose him, it is only fear.
Of course you can kill me, there are plenty enuf of you, but I'll be dammed if you can get the best of me. or own me.
Stay in a condition as long as you are satisfied even if it is 10,000 years, you have plenty of time in your travels you may come to a church or a school house in the meadow, stay in em as long as you have to learn your lessons, over and over again, but some day you will leave them, that is the way men are made takes several hundred years to make intelligence seen on the human face, but it sure does give a fellow a boost when he knows he has got there.

New Years Eve
1936-Terry Darling
Tonight I am thinking of you, am wondering if you sometimes think of me. I recall the many New Years Eves we have spent together - with your dear arms around me and I felt so safe and secure. and the memories of such times sustain me in my lonely hours - I am not wishing you back for you deserve something better and I can not be so selfish, but Dear Heart I miss you and will rejoice when I can join you wherever you may be. I know you are working for and with the "Masters" and learning many valuable lessons. I am asking your forgiveness for the many times wherein I failed you but I want you to know that I have always loved you and always will. and look forward to the time I can tell you so face to face. May the rest of my life be one of patience and forbearance and love to all that I may be able to come to you with a clear conscience and with peace So to-night may this New Year bring us closer together in Devine Love and under standing.
Ever and Always my Love to You
