ANTONY, EDWIN LEROY (1852-1913). Edwin LeRoy Antony, attorney and legislator, son of Dr. Milton and Margaret Frances (Davis) Antony, Jr., was born in Waynesboro, Georgia, on January 5, 1852. He moved to Texas with his parents in 1859 and settled in Columbia. He graduated from the University of Georgia with honors in 1873, became a member of the state bar the following year, and set up a law practice in Cameron. Antony served as prosecuting attorney for Milam County from 1876 to 1878 and was appointed special judge in 1886 during an illness of the regular district judge. He was an alderman in Cameron from 1890 to 1892 and was elected as a Democrat to the United States House of Representatives in 1892, when Roger Q. Millsqv resigned to take a seat in the Senate. Antony lost his bid for renomination later that year and returned to Cameron to resume his law practice.

He married Augusta Houghton on September 20, 1876; the couple had two daughters. Antony died at his brother-in-law's home in Dallas on January 16, 1913, and was buried in Oakland Cemetery.

4 IMAGES OF A CATALOGUE AT http://dlg.galileo.usg.edu/centennialcatalog/html/ANTONY_Edw...

However, I found no photo online.

You could call the Texas Legislature and ask for a copy of his photo if any exists.

Also, find the library in Waynesboro, Burke County, Ga and see if they have a photo, or a library in Texas.

I have more information. The MHS found a death card for Nick Antony. The info on stated his fathers name was Nick, mothers name was Anna Kroskes and has the last name for Nick as Anthony. I now have a little more info on the Antony family but can't confirm any with any research I've done.

Sorry, I haven't seen anything on the Antony family from Wales.

In your research would you have picked up anything on the Antony family in Radnorshire/Breconshire, Wales. I know that my ancestor Gwenllian Gwynne married a ??????Antony and they had a daughter Mary Ann (mentioned in her grandfather's will.dated 1805) but can tie in nothing since.

I'm currently looking for more info on my great-grandfather Nick Antony. His D.O.B - Jan. 15, 1865 and D.O.D - April 27, 1903. He was married to Mary Ballman until his death. Castle Garden has a Nic. Antony coming to the US from Belgium on May 21, 1881.
This is where I get stuck. I've exhausted my mom's side of the family and he seems to be a mystery.

Thanks,
Kevin

I am completing a report on Congressman Edwin Le Roy Antony (1852-1913) of Cameron, Texas. He served in the U.S. House from 1892-1893. I need to include an image of him into my report. Does anyone have one or know where I can obtain one?

My great great grandfather, Stephen Antony, born in Italy approximately 1836 - 1838, came to the US before 1860. In 1860 and 1880 he lived in TX. His wife was Pilar Cardine and married in 1861. His children included Jose, Adalaida, Stephen, Mary, Josefa; all used the last name of Anthony in the US. If you have some info, please contact me. thanks
