“Uncle Karl” (Karl Grady Bradley), “Nunkie” (Foster Key Bradley) and “Mammie” (Zula Zong Foster Bradley) bought 2013 Claredon Avenue, Bessmer, the former Lefkovits home, in 1919.

Minnie Ruth Kelly/Lewis/Marshburn/Leggett (my grandma) was born on October 18, 1915 in Bladenboro, North Carolina, and in my humble opinion, she was the greatest woman that the Good Lord ever saw fit to grace this fine Earth. Being the oldest of her twenty-one grandchildren, I feel blessed to be able to be the one to tell the world about this wonderful, Christian woman.
