John C. Bryant
The death of this well know citizen occurred at his home one mile north of town Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock, aged 69 years. Since last December Mr. Bryant had been confined to his home suffering with valvular disease of the heart which was the cause of his death.
Deceased was the son of Aquilla Bryant who was one of the earlier settlers of this neighborhood and the families or member of it have resided at the old homestead for perhaps half a century.
John Bryant was known as a straight forward industrious and honorable man and during this earthly career had undergone his full share of misfortune, and in pursuit of his general occupation teaming and farming, had experienced many serious accidents which seriously crippled him for many years of his latter life.
Deceased was a bachelor and since the death of a sister several years ago had lived alone in the old home pretty much of the time. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church and died in the firm belief of the better and happier life beyond the grave.
Mr. Bryant is survived by three sister, and they being Mrs. C.G. Smith, of this place; Mrs. Eli Ferguson, of near Lloydsville; and Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, of near Fairview.
Funeral services were held at the homestead Friday afternoon conducted by the Rev. P.U. Hawkins of the Second M.E. Church and the remains were interred in the Northern Cemetery.
