My grandmother Catherine Hortense Coady (Bridwell) is the daughter of Thomas Hoffman Coady and Catherine "Kit" Josefine McCarthy (perhaps called McCarty by some). I believe Kit came from County Carey (?), Ireland around 1885 (ca.). They married in Pana, IL circa 1895 and eventually settled in Paris, Il. I believe Kit died in 1928 and Tom 1952. Tom played on the first Notre Dame football team, as did 2 of his brothers Patrick and Edmond (Ed). That's about all I think I know!!
