Mrs. Taylor Gone
Edna Hampton Bryant was born in Alabama, June 11, 1850 and passed into
the Great Beyond, August 20, 1915. She was married to John Taylor in 1877, who with a sister, brother and a nephew survive her. While only a girl she united with the church and those who knew "Aunt Ed" best know that even throughout the hours of adversity she steadfastly kept her faith in the great Physician. She was interred in the Forbis cemetery Friday afternoon, Rev. Martin conducting the services. The loved ones remaining may take courage through faith in the home that, "All in their graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God and come forth," to life eternal.---A Friend
