  Mrs. Lydia (Neggie) Brant, wife of John Henry Brant, born in Summit Township, 
May 15, 1861, aged 55 years, 1 month and 12 days, died in the Kellam Institution 
at Richmond, Va., June 27, 1916. Some months prior to her going to the hospital 
she became paralyzed but she recovered and then went to the Kellam Institution 
for treatment of cancer. From the time she entered the institution her condition 
seemed to improve and a day or so before her death, the family was much 
surprised when they received a telegram that her condition had become very 
serious. Her husband left immediately for the hospital upon receiving the 
telegram, but before he reached the hospital she had passed away. She is 
survived by her husband and the following children: Mrs. Ada Knupp, of Canton, 
Ohio; Mrs. Nora Brant of Johnstown; Emma, Alveda, Nettie, Daniel, Harvey, 
Edward, all at home and the following brothers - John D. and Samuel Neggie of 
Summit Township and Rev. A. B. Neggie of Ashland, O. Mrs. Brant was a faithful 
member of the Brethren Church and the funeral services were conducted in the 
Beachdale Church by Elder Howe on Saturday morning at ten o'clock. Interment was 
made in the cemetery on the Eli Cober farm near her home.
