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 center aisle, 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 gentlemen who held the deceased in the highest esteem, acting as pallbearers.
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 internment 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.
Besides 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."

Another obituary for Caroline Brady from Titusville.
MRS. E. L. BRADY
The numerous friends and relatives who had been anxiously waiting and hoping for a favorable turn of the prolonged illness which seized Mrs. E. L. Brady, of this place, and kept her an invalid for the last six weeks past, were forced to resign themselves to the inevitable on Monday night of this week when peaceful sleep claimed her for her own and carried her to the brighter shore.
About nine o'clock that night she died; passing away as calmly and peacefully as a summer zephyr, while the family circle and a few friends at her bedside watched the approaching crisis.
A slight improvement last Friday and Saturday had given some renewed hope to the family and relatives until Sunday when a change for the worse set in and she gradually failed although fully conscious almost to the end.
The high esteem in which Mrs. Brady was held in this community was evidenced by the large congregation of sorrowing friends who gathered at St. Gabriel's Episcopal Church Tuesday morning to pay the last sad rites to one who was such a general favorite with all who knew her.
Her pure Christian character and gentle, loving disposition together with her thorough devotion to her family, won for her the esteem and admiration of all who met her.
The funeral service was held at ten o'clock and notwithstanding the very short notice given, the Church was filled before the hour for the service to arrived.
The approach of the funeral cortege was announced by the tolling of the Church bell, and amid an all-pervading silence, the casket was tenderly carried to the chancel rail by the pallbearers_ Capt. James Pritchard, Mr. George M. Robbins, Dr. W. S. Graham, Mr. W. M. Brown, Mr. R. W. Rhodes, and Capt. C. F. Fischer.
The sad and impressive service of the Church was read by Rev. B. F. Brown, followed by the singing of the hymn, "Nearer My God to Thee," which was a special favorite with the deceased. Mr. Brown then made a very touching address to the effect that we naturally associate death with the arrival of the threescore and ten, but that life could be so lived up to, following in the example set by Christ, that even a young person could be as well or better prepared for death, than those of maturer age, and pointed to the deceased as embodying such a life. He closed with a few comforting words to the relatives and mourners, which was followed by the singing of the hymn, " I heard the Voice of Jesus Say."
The burial service was then concluded at LaGrange Cemetery, where the casket was interred in the family burial lot, the retinue of carriages forming as long a procession as was ever witnessed in Titusville. The top of the casket was a mass of lovely white flowers placed there by loving hands.
St. Gabriels Church was never more crowded, all the available standing room back of the main aisle, being filled.
Mrs. Brady was one of Florida's own fair daughters_born at Love Grove, near St. Nicholas, in Duval County on the 12the day of June 1862, consequently was about 31 years of age. She lived in Jacksonville from her early childhood until two years after her marriage, which occurred in October 1880. In 1882 Mr. and Mrs. Brady moved to LaGrange where they lived until 1887 when they changed their residence to Titusville.
She leaves her husband and two little daughters, Aline and Daisy, aged respectively 12 and 10 years, her step-sister, Miss Daisy Parkhurst, and numerous relatives both here in the vicinity and in Jacksonville. Her aged father, the late James Y. Wilson died in Jacksonville a little less than a year ago.

The high esteem in which Mrs. Brady was held in this community was evidenced by the large congregation of sorrowing friends who gathered at St. Gabriel's Episcopal Church Tuesday morning to pay the last sad rites to one who was such a general favorite with all who knew her.
Her pure Christian character and gentle, loving disposition together with her thorough devotion to her family, won for her the esteem and admiration of all who met her.
The funeral service was held at ten o'clock and notwithstanding the very short notice given, the Church was filled before the hour for the service to arrived.
The approach of the funeral cortege was announced by the tolling of the Church bell, and amid an all-pervading silence, the casket was tenderly carried to the chancel rail by the pallbearers_ Capt. James Pritchard, Mr. George M. Robbins, Dr. W. S. Graham, Mr. W. M. Brown, Mr. R. W. Rhodes, and Capt. C. F. Fischer.
The sad and impressive service of the Church was read by Rev. B. F. Brown, followed by the singing of the hymn, "Nearer My God to Thee," which was a special favorite with the deceased. Mr. Brown then made a very touching address to the effect that we naturally associate death with the arrival of the threescore and ten, but that life could be so lived up to, following in the example set by Christ, that even a young person could be as well or better prepared for death, than those of maturer age, and pointed to the deceased as embodying such a life. He closed with a few comforting words to the relatives and mourners, which was followed by the singing of the hymn, " I heard the Voice of Jesus Say."
The burial service was then concluded at LaGrange Cemetery, where the casket was interred in the family burial lot, the retinue of carriages forming as long a procession as was ever witnessed in Titusville. The top of the casket was a mass of lovely white flowers placed there by loving hands.
St. Gabriels Church was never more crowded, all the available standing room back of the main aisle, being filled.
Mrs. Brady was one of Florida's own fair daughters_born at Love Grove, near St. Nicholas, in Duval County on the 12the day of June 1862, consequently was about 31 years of age. She lived in Jacksonville from her early childhood until two years after her marriage, which occurred in October 1880. In 1882 Mr. and Mrs. Brady moved to LaGrange where they lived until 1887 when they changed their residence to Titusville.
She leaves her husband and two little daughters, Aline and Daisy, aged respectively 12 and 10 years, her step-sister, Miss Daisy Parkhurst, and numerous relatives both here in the vicinity and in Jacksonville. Her aged father, the late James Y. Wilson died in Jacksonville a little less than a year ago.
