Notes for Ellen Frances Bledsoe
Ellen Frances (Bledsoe) O'Leary was the mother of 12 children. Her neice, Ellen Frances (O'Leary) Bundschu states that fun, food, happy times and wonderful smells from the kitchen were always the way at the O'leary home on Davis Street in Meridian, Mississippi. Ellen Bledsoe O'Leary is buried beside her beloved husband at St. Patrick Cemetery.

Her daughter Henrietta (Rhett) O'Leary lived in the family home along with her sister Alice. The sisters were joined by their sister Mary Ellen (O'Leary) Reumont following the death of her husband, J. Louis Reumont. Rhett & Alice & their brother Jim , prior to his death, cared for their mother until God called her home. The sisters were a fun loving family and enjoyed writing and receiving letters and family visits.

Julia and her husband Maurice joined the sisters on Davis Street where they made a few improvement to the home. It is sad to state that where the home stood is now a parking lot.
