Eddie Cula Bryant, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bryant, died at his home about three miles north of town last Friday morning after a short illness from the effects of a yellow chill, aged 16 years. The funeral service was held in Pinners church of which he was a member on Saturday afternoon conducted by his pastor, Rev. D. L. Earnhardt, in the presence of a house full of people. The pall bearers were J. T. Bolton, J. W. Weaver, J. P. Holoman, W. R. Baugham, R. B. Boyce and John F. Shoulars, members of the Odd Fellows Lodge of which the deceased's father is an active member. The deceased was a quiet, peaceable youth, very energetic and industrious, and an obedient son. He gave promise of becoming a useful citizen. He was one of the best players on the Rich Square ball team and helped win the recent victories of the team. Eddie Cula Bryant It is with broken hearts and tearful eyes that we through this method are trying to express our heartfelt thanks to our dear friends, especially to the Odd Fellows and physicians, for their kind attention to our dear child and brother, and for kindness shown us in these great hours of trouble. It was with little warning that the Angel of death came on the morning of August 19th, and took from us one who was so dear to the hearts of us all. He has gone from us, yes, A precious one from us is gone A voice we loved is stilled, A place is vacant in our home Which can never be filled. God in his wisdom has recalled The boon his love had given And though the body slumbers here The soul is safe in Heaven. Those who loved him, Mr. & Mrs. Robert Bryant & Family" ___________________________________________________________________ Copyright.
