LLOYD LEE BRYANT

   Lloyd Lee Bryant, 63, of Sunbeam died suddenly Saturday afternoon, 
September 10, in Suffolk as the result of a heart attack.  At the time of the 
seizure he was in his automobile which went out of control.  He had suffered 
from a serious heart condition for many years.

   Mr. Bryant was the son of the late Nathaniel Davis and Eva Woodward Bryant 
of Southampton County, and had spent all of his life near his birth place.  He 
had long been an automobile salesman in the Courtland-Franklin section, except 
during the late war, and at the time of his death was employed as an 
Oldsmobile salesman by R.E. Coggsdale of Franklin.  He was an active director 
of the Community Electric Cooperative of Suffolk, and was much interested in 
bringing light and other electrical services to everyone in the rural areas.

   Surviving him are his wife, Mrs. Jennie Sue Drake Bryant, whom he married 
in 1910; a son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Lee Bryant of 
Richmond; a sister, Mrs. S.S. Bishop of Sunbeam; and an aunt, Mrs. Bettie 
Bryant Flippen of Covington, Tenn.  An indulgent husband, father and brother, 
he will be greatly missed by his many loved ones.

   Funeral services for Mr. Bryant were conducted from Mt. Horeb Methodist 
Church, of which he had been a member since childhood, on Monday afternoon at 
2:30 o’clock by his pastor, Rev. R.H. Shapland, assisted by R.L. Chadwick and 
Rev. R.D. Stephenson. A choir composed of members of the choirs of Mt. Horeb 
Methodist and Sunbeam Baptist churches sang "How Firm A Foundation;" and Joel 
Holland of Murfreesboro, N.C., accompanied by Mrs. R.L. Chadwick, pianist 
sang "No Night There."

   The large crowd that attended the funeral and the many floral pieces were a 
well deserved tribute.  Interment was in Poplar Spring Cemetery, Franklin.

   Active pallbearers were Julian Stephenson, Harry Fowler, Sterling Bryant, 
V.K. Daughtrey, Jr., Roswell Hart, Roscoe Edwards, Robert E. Coggsdale, and 
Herbert Saunders.  Honorary pallbearers were member of the Men’s Bible Class, 
to which he belonged, and other friends of the family.
