MARGARET LUCRETIA HILL BRYANT

DEATH OF MRS. LOU BRYANT

On Tuesday evening, April 23, 1918, the death angel entered the home of Mr. 
S.B. Bryant and claimed for its victim his beloved mother, Mrs. Lou Bryant, 
age 73 years. 

She was a devout and consistent Christian, and will be greatly missed in this 
community and at Barnes' M.E. Church, where she was active member.  The many 
beautiful flowers, as a final token showed the love and esteem which her 
friends cherished for her.  Though, "In the midst of life ye are in death", we 
cannot refrain from the thought of the sad parting from children and earthly 
friends, but what is our loss was her eternal gain; and amid this parting of 
loved ones the angel of heavenly peace accompanied her over the river to the 
other shore where sorrow and pain are no more, and she will rest with husband 
and other loved ones gone before.  She leaves to mourn their loss, four 
devoted children: one son, S.B. Bryant; three daughters Mrs. Elma Brett, Mrs. 
J.G. Railey and Mrs. W.T. Carter, besides a number of relatives and friends. 
The interment took place at the home burying ground Thursday at 3 o'clock, the 
following ministers taking part, Rev. W.R. Evans Newsoms, Rev. N.B. Foushee 
Lawrenceville, B.B. Slaughter Rocky Mount and J.M. Rowland Norfolk. 

The active pallbearers were T.W. Thorp, J.T. Bryant, Lloyd Bryant, W.T. Smith, 
W.V. Simmons and H.A. Barrett.
