The Christian Index 2 April 1896
From the Christian Index, 2 April 1896

Bryan--The death angel has again visited our little church and carried away 
from among us our aged and beloved brother,John L. Bryan. This sad occasion 
took place on the 7th day of February, 1896, at the home of the deceased near 
the town of Marshallville, Macon Co., Ga.Brother Bryan was the oldest male 
member of our church, and we deplore his departure as one of "the fathers in 
Israel."

As a citizen he had many fine traits of character; as a Christian he was loyal 
to every interest of the church.

He was baptized about the year 1846; was made deacon soon afterwards, which 
office he held at the time of his death. He is gone from among us, and tho we 
shall not see his face any more in this life, we shall meet him again in our 
heavenly Father's home where there are no more separations.

Resolved 1. That in the death of Brother Bryan the church has suffered a loss 
that cannot easily be repaired.

2. That in his sudden taking away we recognize the hand of an overruling 
providence, and bow in humble submission to the mandate of him that doeth all 
things after the council of his own will.

3. That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the church record, a copy 
be presented to the family, and that a copy be printed by the Christian Index.
