THOMAS EDWARD BRYANT 

   Thomas Edward Bryant, 61 years of age, died at his home near Newsoms 
Saturday, May 5.  Though an invalid for four years, his death came as a shock 
to his family and friends, his condition taking a turn for the worse only a 
few hours before the end.

   He was the son of the late Albert D. Bryant, an honored citizen and gallant 
Confederate soldier, and Mrs. Lydia Whitfield Bryant.  Having never married, 
he had spent his whole life in the home where he was born, in recent years 
living with two sisters, Misses Addie and Alpha Bryant.  Other surviving 
relatives are another sister, Mrs. Annie Ferguson; two brothers, S.L. and J.S. 
Bryant, and a number of nieces and nephews.

   Funeral services were held from the home Sunday afternoon by his Pastor, 
Rev. J.K. Holman.  Mr. Bryant was a member of Mt. Horeb M.E. Church and served 
for many years as steward.  The pallbearers, all relatives for the family 
were: C.F. Whitfield, Russell and James Ferguson, Roy and Herman Bradshaw, 
Sterling and Willie Rives Bryant and O.R. Harrell.  The numerous and beautiful 
floral tokens were carried by his nieces, Mrs. T.L. Woodward, Mrs. O.R. 
Harrell, Misses Pearle, Ruby Lee and Virginia Bryant and Mildred Ferguson. 
Interment was made in the Bryant square in Newsoms Cemetery.
