Bridget McCoy was born at Walnut, Bureau Co., Ill., on October 31, 1860. There she spent her girlhood days and was married to Alexander Bradley by the Rev. Father Lyons. In 1885 they came to Nebraska and started farming west of Seward, moving to Ulysses in 1895. Eight children were born to them, two of whom passed away in Ulysses, Frances and William.

During her last illness her children were all with her and as they knelt in prayer she passed to the Great Beyond, where Jesus rewards even a cup of cold water given in His Name. Steve was unable to be present at the funeral, being ill himself, but he had made a special trip to see his mother a short time ago. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Father Downey at the Ulysses Catholic Church on Wednesday, October 23. Interment was in the Catholic cemetery by the side of her husband and sons. The pallbearers were Charles Smith, George Walsh, Jake Klein, William Gannon, Emil Prochaska, and John McGowen.
