		Mrs. S. E. Bryant - Obituary Nov. 1921
		     Pilot Point, Denton Co., TX.

Obituary, Nov. 1921. for "Mrs. S. E. Bryant", who is buried with her husband,
Solomon, in Pilot Point:

"The grim reaper of souls, in its various wanderings visited the home of 
Ms. S. E. Bryant of Dallas, on Nov. 7th, at ten o'clock and took the life of 
this christian mother to its last resting place in the great beyond. 
Mrs. Bryant had been ill one week, four days of which she was in Baptist 
Memorial Sanitarium of Dallas. 

She was born May 1, 1851 in Mariana, Florida. She was the youngest daughter of
Dr. and Mrs. John Richard Jones. 

In early womanhood she moved to Pilot Point where she resided until three years
ago when she moved to Dallas.  

In 1881 she was married to Mr. S. H. Bryant of Pilot Point, Texas who died 25
years ago. To this union were born three chidren as follows, A. C. Bryant of
Aubrey, Mrs. Bertie Hames of Gainesville, and Miss Vera Bryant of Dallas, all 
of whom were at her bedside when life took its flight. 

Mrs. Bryant had been a devoted christian from early girlhood. On her deathbed 
she called all of her children around her and she said, "Are you all here" and
they said "Yes mother, we are all here."  Then she told them to meet her in 
heaven, then she turned on her side and saw her mother in heaven, and after 
conversing with her mother she closed her eyes and was asleep in Jesus. 
Her children went to the banks of the river with her and her mother beckoned 
her across.  

   Yet, it is so hard to break the tender cord when love has bound the heart.
   'Tis hard, so hard to speak the words, Must we forever part? 
   Dearest loved one we have laid thee In the peaceful grave's embrace 
   That thy memory will be cherished Till we see thy heavenly face 

The funeral services were held at the Calvary Baptist church in Pilot Point, 
conducted by Rev. R. L. Powell of Gainesville. The choir of the church to which
she belonged for so many years . . . her favorite hymns.  
The floral offerings were a beautiful tribute to the dead."
