Mary Louise Nutt Bryant

DEATH OF MRS. M.L. BRYANT

   A telegram received here Wednesday night announced the sudden death of Mrs. 
M.L. Bryant at the Monson House, St. Augustine, Fla.  Mrs. Bryant and her 
daughter, Miss Antionette Bryant, left Franklin January 16th to spend the 
remainder of the winter in St. Augustine, as has been their custom for several 
years, and although Mrs. Bryant had been quite feeble for some time before her 
departure for Florida, she had expressed the hope to friends that the change 
would be beneficial and restore her to her usual health.

   Mrs. Bryant was one of those delightful characters who impressed everyone 
with her abundant faith in God, her radiant spirit of cheerful optimism and 
her sincere and unfailing interest in the welfare of her neighbors.  Her 
presence made the town a more pleasant place to live in; her good deeds and 
kind words increased one’s faith in the life of the true Christian as 
exemplified by her, and although she had attained to the full three score 
years and ten allotted for a human life, and was unafraid when the final 
summons came, we cannot help but feel that we can ill afford to lose the 
presence and influence of such a lovable and useful Christian life.

   Mrs. Bryant was Miss Mary Louise Nutt of Northumberland County, Va., and 
was the second wife of Capt. James DeBerry Bryant, one of the county’s most 
prominent citizens in his time.  She leaves three children; Mr. R.M. Bryant of 
Kinston, N.C., Mrs. Jesse A. Jackson and Miss Antionette Bryant of Franklin, 
and a step-son, Mr. N.B. Bryant of Stony Creek, Va.  Mrs. Littleton Gay and 
Dr. James Fenton Bryant, both deceased, were step-children of Mrs. Bryant 
also.  Mrs. Bryant was a charter member of the Franklin M.E. Church, and was 
one of its most faithful and consistent members.

   The body of our beloved townswoman is expected to arrive here Friday 
morning on the 7:45 Seaboard train and the interment will take place in the 
family plot in Poplar Spring Cemetery Friday afternoon at an hour to be 
announced later.  The services will be conducted by Rev. C.E. Blankenship, 
Pastor of the Methodist Church.

   The sympathy of everyone goes out to the sorrowing family in the hour of 
sore bereavement.
