Individual:
25 Aug 1883 - Succession of Mary Alzenith O'Bryan, #669 in Abbeville Courthouse
Daniel O'Bryan's wife, Mary Alzenith Perry was the first child of Robert Perry to convert to Catholicism. Shortly before going to school at the convent on Grand Coteau, Alzenith was pressing collars at home while her little sister Amanda played nearby. As she worked, 13-year-old Alzenith wondered about the chance that her sister, who was sick, might die without being baptized. "Well, I think it is better to be on the safe side," Alzenith decided, and using the water with which she was sprinkling the clothes, she christened the two-year-old, who did later die. Alzenith became a Catholic at school within a few months. On the day of her baptism, some of her teachers asked if she was happy. "Happy!" she replied, "I hear, I feel, I see nothing but Heaven opened and Hell closed." She experienced many trials and sorrows
during her life. Married at eighteen, she and Daniel had eleven children, three of whom died as children. Her sister Augusta called her Alzenith but wrote her name "M.J. Alzenith Perry," and Alzenith's marriage license calls her "Marie J. Alzenith Perry." After Daniel O'Bryan died, Alzenith made trips by train from Rayne, LA to Texas to pay taxes on land there, until by 1878 she was too feeble to do it, and presumably lost the land. Her daughter Mary remembered that she owned land in Hardin County and Liberty County, TX (the latter was 315 acres). She was bedridden for several years before she died of tuberculosis.
