Obituary Charles Goddard Bryant
The angel of death again brought general sorrow to this community when just before the noon hour on December 19th 1912, the soul of Charles Goddard Bryant passed from earthly cares to the life beyond the grave.
At an age when manhood was at its best, with a devoted wife, a sweet baby boy and holding the respect and confidence of all who knew him, causes us to wonder at the just and righteous will of God, who in his wisdom has seen best to cast this shadow upon the young wife, to take from the boy baby his precious father and to cast a dark cloud of sadness upon many near and dear relatives and friends.
The bereaved ones have the heartfelt sympathy of many friends and acquaintances here and elsewhere, and the prayers of the God-fearing will go up to the giver of all good for the peace, comfort, welfare and protection of the heart-broken young wife and the precious infant son.
May the angels guide him both to a better world, to a happier meeting with loved ones gone to the place where there is no sorrow, no parting.
The remains were interred at Saulsbury, Friday, Rev. A. S. Wells, of Bolivar, conducting the funeral service. Deceased was a member of Moscow Camp No. 57, W. O W.
