KILLED IN CAR ACCIDENT
Mrs. E. J. Bryant's Neck Broken in
Automobile Wreck Near Plevna
Saturday Night.
Mrs. E. J. Bryant, Shelbina, mother of Miss Lucille Bryant of Edina, was killed about 8 o'clock Saturday night when her car, driven by Miss Bryant, overturned at the turn toward Newark just north of Plevna. Her neck was broken when the car left the road and overturned into a ditch. Miss Bryant and her sister-in-law, Mrs. Wayne Bryant, of Kansas City, were unhurt.
Miss Bryant, it is said; mistook the direction of the curve as she attempted to take the Newark road, and the car continued into the ditch, overturning but not badly damaging it. Mrs. Bryant and her daughter-in-law had driven to Edina to visit Miss Bryant, who was returning to Shelbina with them to spend the weekend. Miss Bryant conducts a beauty parlor in Edina, known as the Bryant Beauty Service. She has conducted the place since October, 1936, when she purchased the former Bertram Beauty Shop.
Mrs. Bryant, one of Shelbina’s best known women and socially prominent, was a member of the Baptist Church and several social organizations. She was the former Cloy Connor, a daughter of Thomas J. and Belinda Elizabeth Connor. She was born in Promise City, Ia., Nov.15, 1878. She attended school there and married
Edward J. Bryant, a native of Promise City, Dec.14, 1899. They moved to Shelbina in 1920, where her husband is an employee of the Farmers Produce Company.
Surviving are: The husband; two sons, Merle Raymond of Shelbina and Wayne J. of Kansas City; the daughter, Miss Lucille, of Edina; a grandchild, Rosemary Bryant, of Kansas City; two brothers, Lee and Ray Connor, of Promise City, Ia., and a sister, Mrs. Margaret Roberts, Promise City.

DEATH OF MRS. C. W. JOHNSON.
------
Died at Her Home in Plymouth, Mon-
day, Oct. 21, 1918, Aged 32 Years
8 Months and 7 Days.
----
Again the death angel has entered our midst, and from a home has taken a most prized treasure-Mother.
Rhoda Grace Cornelius, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Perry Cornelius was born Feb. 14, 1886, and departed this life, Oct. 21, 1918, being 32 years, 8 months and 7 days old.
On April 26, 1902 she was united in marriage to Curtis Johnson. To this happy union were born six children. Three children, Benjamin F., Myrtle and Earl Perry are left with their father to mourn her departure, three children having preceded their mother in death.
Though death came to her in early life when there was so much for which to live, yet it found her not unprepared. Years ago she gave her heart to Jesus and united with the Christian church of which she remained a consistent member until her death. Her death was full of triumph. She left a bright and shining testimony of her hope for the future, saying to those about her; "I am crossing the Dark River; I am going to meet my little ones, it is well, " and with a song upon her lips she passed out of this life into more abundant life.
Today we lay to rest the broken casket but God has in His own keeping the invaluable gem-the soul.
Death to the believer is not like the evening star sinking into darkness but like the morning star, lost in the brightness of day.
Besides the husband and three children who mourn their loss, she leaves four brothers, Arthur, somewhere in France, John, Marshalltown, Ia., Ollie, and Benjamin of Hannibal, Mo., and one sister, Mrs. Rilla Harrison of Hannibal, Mo., and other relatives and friends.
To these I would say, "Weep not as those who have no hope, she is not dead-she lives more abundantly over there. The sunset of her life here was but the sunrise of her life over there. Let the cords of her love, the memory of her life and devotion linger about you, and when it is your time to go may you be sustained by the same God whom she loved and trusted.
There is no death! The stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore,
And bright in heaven's jeweled crown
They shine forevermore.
There is no death! An angel form
Walks o'er the earth with silent tread;
He bears our best loved things away,
And then we call them "dead."
He leaves our hearts all desolate;
He pucks our fairest, sweetest flowers
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
Funeral services were held this afternoon at 2 o'clock at the late residence conducted by Rev. A. E. Cole of the Plymouth Methodist church; interment in the Plymouth cemetery.
