noon at 2:30 watching the rain. AS the
storm clouds gathered overhead and
the rain began to increase, his daughter
Mrs. Smith, of Audubon, Iowa; who
was visiting for few weeks started
for the house with her children. Mr..
Bryant followed carrying Dimple upon
his right shoulder. For some reason,
he swerved from the direct course and
passed under tall tree at the instant
lightning bolt came tearing down the
trunk, striking the child on the head
and burning Mr.. Bryants face and
shoulders. Death in both cases was
instantaneous.
Mr.. Bryant was in his 56th year, hay
ing been born May 3, lS4l. He enlisted
in 1862 in the 43d Indiana, Co. B. lie
was discharged in 1863 for disability,
but subsequently served as II commits
stoned officer until the close of the war.
His funeral services were held III the
Baptist church, Rev. W. T.. Stanley

Rev. DIR. Hill. The comrades of Sam

church and theMasonic Lodge conduct
ed the services at the grave. A fine
display of beautiful flowers were
furnished by friends in Audubon. Mr..
and Mrs. Marlin, Mr.. Nash, Mrs. Kate
and Mrs. Russell, of Audubon, were
present. The church was crowded
with sympathizing friends and was
one of the saddest of such sad scenes"
