At Rest - "Perlina Bryant is dead," was the sad intelligence that was
announced on Mill Creek at ten o'clock, Saturday night, November 17. She was
taken sick April 15, and for seven months she lingered with consumption,
which would not yield to medical skill, and death was the inevitable result,
and her spirit took its flight to the God who gave it. Her remains were laid
to rest in the Porter grave yard Monday, November 19, where her mother, two
brothers and five sisters were buried. Perlina was one of the most amiable
and kind girls I ever saw. She leaves a vacancy in our community that can
not be filled. She was lacking only 16 days of being 26 years old.
