Obituary BETTY BRYANT
At the request of the family, I will try in my weakness to write an obituary of
Betty Bryant. She was the daughter of Jerry Little and Sally Tackett Little,
born September 22 , 1894. deceased September 11, 1953. age 59 years, 11 months
and 19 days. She was married to B. H. Bryant, August 5, 1915. Unto this union
were born 13 children, 9 boys and four girls, 3 boys and 3 girls preceded her in
death leaving her husband, 6 boys and one girl. two brothers and one sister, two
half sisters, with a host of friends to mourn her loss. I hope according to her
last words, their loss is her eternal gain. The writer was very well acquainted
with Betty. I remember over three years before her death she got my wife to make
her a dress to be baptized in. So the car that was to take her to Long Fork
failed to come after her for some cause, best known with the good Lord. She
never did attach herself to any church, but if her hope was real, it was Christ.
Just a few words to the children, now that your mother is gone and never can
come back to you. So be good and kind to each other and try to meet mother in
that upper and better world.
Written by, BRACK HALL.
