August 10, 1873 - February 7, 1914
Daughter of OR & Eliza Bryant
*Obituary
Rogers Democrat
Thursday, February 12, 1914
BRYANT, Lou - Miss Lou Bryant died at 8:30 Saturday night at the home of Mrs. Sadie Ashworth, corner of Fourth and Elm streets, where she and her sister, Miss Dora, had been living for the past year or two. Death came to end her suffering after a struggle of years to regain health. She had been very low for a week previous and her death had been hourly expected for some time. Funeral services were held at the First M.E. church Monday afternoon at two o'clock and were conducted by the pastor, Rev. A.J. Murphy. Interment was in the Rogers cemetery. Miss Bryant was a sister of J.W. and B.F. Bryant of this city and is also survived by three sisters, Mrs. Anna Jackson of Neosho, Mo.; Mrs. Carrie Jenson of Dallas, Tex.; and Miss Dora Bryant of this city, and two brothers, Jack Bryant of Cedarvale, Kan. and Owen Bryant of Vancouver, B.C. Miss Bryant was born August 10, 1873 at Sulphur Springs, Ark. and was a daughter of Rev. and Mrs. O.R. Bryant. She came to Rogers in 1883 with her parents, her father organizing the present First M.E. church of this city. They lived here for three years and then went to other points, among them El Reno, Ok., etc. After the death of Rev. Bryant about fifteen years ago Mrs. Bryant and the three daughters, Misses Dora, Lou and Carrie, came to Rogers to make their home. Miss Lou clerked for many years in the hardware store of her brother, John W. Bryant, giving it up finally owing to her failing health. She was one of the most popular clerks in the city as was evidenced by the fact that in 1904 she won the trip to the World's Fair offered to the most popular woman of the city. Every person who knew her in the store or in the home, remembers her for her cheery smile and her willingness to assist and accommodate in every possible way. Her continued illness was a great grief to her large circle of friends who hoped in vain for a permanent recovery. Her death will be a special grief to her older sister, Miss Dora, who has cared for her so tenderly and unceasingly and from whom she had never been separated, the two having continued making their home together after the death of their mother and the marriage of the younger sister.
