JOSEPH LYNN BRYANT 

YOUTH IS DEAD OF STRANGE MALADY 

Cause of Sudden Death of Bryant Baffles Doctors 

  Joseph Bryant, 19, of 264 Park avenue, died at 11:30 a.m. today after a 
five-hour illness from a rare blood disease which still has physicians pouring 
over their books on uncommon diseases.  The cause of death has not been 
determined. 

  The young man came in from work yesterday apparently in normal health and 
spirits.  Later in the evening he complained of sore joints.  This morning a 
physician was called. 

  Large blood clots formed in an unusual manner and his body appeared as if he 
had undergone a bad beating.  A blood transfusion was refused. 

  Growing steadily worse, Bryant died before diagnosis of his illness could be 
contemplated. 

  The young man is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Quincey [sic; Quincy] 
T. Bryant, with whom he lived, two sisters, Mrs. Calvin Johnson and Miss Viola 
Bryant, all of Suffolk; and his grandfather, Walter Joyner, of Franklin. 

  Funeral services will be conducted from the Bryant residence Thursday at 
3:30 p.m., by the Rev. Dr. John G. Truitt.  Burial will be in Cedar Hill 
cemetery.
