DEATH OF AN AGED LADY.

Mrs. Nancy Bryan died suddenly
Monday night of heart trouble at her
home near Fairfield, at the advanced
age of about oighty-one years. After
retiring to bed her son, Letcher Bryan,
as was his custom, read to her. Before
leaving the room he noticed his mother
was perfectly qxite AMI thought her
asleep. Next morning she was found
in the same position and was perfect y
rigid, showing that she had been dead
some time. The supposition is that
she expired as soon as she lay down.
Mrs Bryan was the daughter OF
Joel Campbell of this county, a veteran
of the war of 1872 She was the wild
ow of Elisha Bryan, an iron master OF
ante-bellum times. She is survived by
six children, all of this county: Harvey,
Letcher, and Charles Bryan, and Mrs.
Mamie Crist, Mrs. Mary Bushong, and
Miss Josie Bryan.
