MRS. JOSIE QUIGLEY MAXWELL Mary Josephine Quigley, daughter of Judge Franklin R. and Henrietta Springer Quigley, was born in Fox township in Harrison county, July 20, 1868. one of a Creek, family of eleven children, seven of whom grew to manhood and womanhood. She being one of the older children was of great assistance to her mother in caring for the younger members of the family and she retained that motherly interest in them to a marked degree all through her life.

Her first education was acquired in the home district school at Bolton and with this preparation she was able to pass a creditable examination for a teacher's certificate and began teaching in the -country schools of the county while yet quite young. By energy and economy she was NOON able to save up enough to enable her to complete a course in the normal school at Stanberry, Mo., and a little later to complete a course in the Grand River College at Edinburg, Mo., after which she taught school for a number of years. She was always a student and a reader and these habits, acquired while young, continued with her 50 long as her health would permit. When quite young she united with the Christian church at Bolton and continued in this faith through all her life. March 26, 1899, she was married to J.

H. Maxwell of Fox Creek township and soon thereafter they established their residence on the old Quigley homestead, where Josie was born and raised and where her home had been all her life, with the exception of : a tew years residence in Gilman City, where they moved in order to give their only child, James Franklin, better school advantages, her home during her entire life was on this one homestead. Josie was of a kind, a generous and lovable disposition. She was genial, I sociable and entertaining to her many friends and enjoyed their company | very much. For a number of years her hearing had become so defective as to make it hard to carry on a conversation with her.

This was a greator disappointment to her than any except her most intimate friends knew by reading she kept herself well informed on all important events, continued to meet all with a cheerful smile and despite her handicap to make herself entertaining and compantonabe to both old and young. She was very clever in giving readinga and was often called on to give routing or to make an address at some neighborhood function. Many Young people of her acquaintance would 40 to- her for advice or assislance as to the selections they were give and she was never too busy with her own affairs to give them advice and assistance and often would drill them on the parts they were to take. She was held in high regard, esteem and affection by all her relatives, friends and neighbors, Her last illbegan Nov. 4, 1924.

She rapidly W worse. Human skill and human aid were of no avail. After four long months of suffering she suddenly passed away on the morning of March 2. 1925, aged 56 years, 7 months and 12 days. She is survived by her bereaved husband, one son, James Franklin, whom she loved with a true mother's affection; one brother, John F. Quigley, who made his home with her and her husband; four sisters, Mrs. Amand. Pitcher and Mrs. Ada Brown of Knobnoster, Mo.; Mrs. Stella Terrill. Parksille, Mo. and Mrs. Grace MeAfree. Cleveland, Ohio, all of whom visited her during her last Illness with he exception of Mrs. Brown. who was prevented from doing so by sickness n her own family. Her son Frank came home from school in Kansas City as soon as he learned of his mother's illness and remained with her until a few weeks ago when she thought she was so much Improved that she insisted he return to his school. Her neighbors, friends and relatives were very kind and considerate during her illness, visiting her much and helpin any way they could. Especially is this true of her two sisters in law. Mrs. Emma Maxwell Utterback and Mrs. Gilla Higdon Maxwell, both of whom spent much time with her.

The memory of her nfluence on the community will be a source of comfort to her relatives and friends.

Funeral services were held at the Springer church at 2:30 o'clock the afternoon of March 4, 1925, conducted by Rev. P. F. Meek, a life long friend of the family, in the presence of an unusually large gathering of relatives and friends. The body was tenderly laid to rest in the Springer cemetery, near kindred dust, in view of the home in which she had lived her life.

Reception

Bethany Republican-Clipper Wed, Oct 13, 1920 ·Page 1

Mrs. William P. Bryant entertained delightfully, at her home last Friday afternoon in honor of Miss Kathleen Neff, a bride-to-be.

Miss Neff and Mrs. Bryant recieved the guests. About 70 guests responded to the invitations.

Mrs. Bryant wore pale blue organdie and Miss Neff looked charmingly girlish in pale yellow georgette. Miss Marie Bryant, in a dainty white frock, served at the punch table, which was tastefully decorated with autumn leaves.

And throughout the rooms a wealth of autumn leaves, amber, burnt yellow, crimson, blood red, russet, fawn color, of shading indescribable, vied for first place in the decorating scheme with festoons of the reddest of red hearts and cunning cupids, the symbols the world over of true love.

Mrs. Bryant, always particularly unique, original, and brilliant in her conceptions, fairly outdid herself upon this occassion and gave a magnificient entertainment to her guests.

The following program was rendered:

Piano solo, Eunice Lotz.

vocal duet, "Whispering Hope", Mrs. Oscar Meadows and Irma Kenyon.

Violin solo, "Thou Art Like A Flower" (Rubinstein), Mrs. J.G. Hinkle.

Vocal Solo, "Love in my Heart", Irma Kenyon, Encore, "Love Boat."

Reading, "Lecture in Matrimony" , Marie Bryant.

Vocal Solo, "I Love You Truly", Mrs. Fred Selby.

Miniature Wedding

Mendelssohn's Wedding March, Mrs. Hinkle. Helen Wilson, bride. A.C. Carpenter, groom. Lavern Hinkle, minister. Mildred Barlow, Gretchen Vandivert, Ruth Ida Butler, Loree Barlow, flower girls. Mary Elizabeth Meadows, Cupid.

Solo, "Oh Promise Me", Lorine Brown. "Negro Wedding in Southern Georgia", Edison. Chorus, "Let The Rest Of The World Go By."

The miniature wedding was the cunningest, cleverest bit of acting ever seen, each little tot looking and acting his or her part with perfect precision, wholly unconscious of the perfect imitation of a real wedding.

Then came the guessing contest, Kathleen and Melverne being easily guessed but October a puzzle to all but the wise ones, Kathleen one among the wisest, for October will always be to her a lovely month - beyond compare.

Everyone was requested to give advice to the bride-to-be and if she treasures it all in her heart, woe be to the man of her choice.

Even in the delicious refreshments the momentous event was apparent. Many and sincere were the congratulations showered upon Kathleen. May her ocean of the future be calm and where her bark can safely sail.

Mrs. Bryants out-of-town guests were: Mrs. Oscar Meadows, Pattonsburg; Mrs. Judge Bain, Trenton; Mrs. J.F. Brown, Jameson; Lorine Brown, Jameson; Mrs. Garvin Pryor, St Joseph; Miss Charline Booth, Monroe, Wis.; Miss Loree Garnder, Monroe, Wis.; Mrs. Nellie Ramer, Colorado.

Coronary Attack Causes the Death of Wm. P. Bryant

Bethany Republican-Clipper Wed, Feb 16, 1955 ·Page 1

In hospital for checkup after digestive disturbance- was 69- Christian Church leader.

An unexpected coronary attack brought death soon after 5:30 o'clock Friday morning at a local hospital to William P. Bryant, 69, real estate and insurance broker, and loan agent at Bethany most of his life.

Mr. Bryant entered the hospital Wednesday afternoon. He, Mrs. Bryant, and Dr. and Mrs. J.G. Hinkle had attended the theater the night before, after a supper. A digestive disturbance of Wednesday afternoon was attributed to pie which had seemed not to agree with his health; but entrance to the hospital was also partially for a check up because he had not had one recently.

Death Sudden

A cardiograph showed normal tracings. Mr. Bryant seemed much improved Thursday night, and was expected to be at his office Friday. He was in good condition when he was visited by a nurse at 5:30 a.m. Friday. Ten minutes later when she stopped to take his temperature, he had died of a coronary occlusion.

Mr. Bryant was a native of Bethany and was a son of Joseph F. Bryant, who accumulated much wealth before his death prior to 1920. There were 11 sons and daughters of Joseph F. Bryant.

Record of Service

In early manhood, after attending the University of Missouri, Mr. Bryant was in a grocery store at Bethany. Later he was with his father in a loan business.

He was first lieutenant of G company, 4th Missouri Infantry, on the Mexican border in 1916-1917.

Mr. Bryant was a past president of the Bethany Rotary Club, a past commander of the Knights Templar Masonic lodge here, and a member of the Country club. He had long been a leader in the First Christian Church. He served the church 20 years as president of the board. At the time of his death he was an elder, and he had been the teacher of the men's (see No. 1 on page 8)

Unwritten Law and Self Defense Pleas Win Bryant Release

Children of McFall Man, on Trial for Murder, Support Him and Turn Against the Mother.

Bethany Republican-Clipper Wed, Jun 01, 1932 ·Page 4

The combined pleadings of the unwritten law and self defense served to win freedom last week for W. Virgil Bryant, McFall man charged with murder in the fatal shooting last Christmas day of a neighbor, Asbury Johnson.

Bryant was tried at Albany, with the selection of a jury being made on Monday of last week. The trial was concluded Wednesday, the jury returning its verdict at 6 :00 o'clock that evening after three hours of deliberation.

The Stanberry Headlight said of the trial....

"With his children clustered around him and giving him every aid, Virgil Bryant went to trial at Albany Monday on a first-degree murder charge in the slaying of Asbury Johnson on Christmas day. The murder took place in a road about 4 miles west of Pattonsburg.

"All of Bryant's children have been at their father's side in the case. Mrs. Bryant, subpoenaed by the defense, was not used as a witness in the case after it was said she refused to testify in her husband's behalf.

"Not only were the children clustered around their father, but four of them were used as witnesses by their father in building up a defense for the slaying. The defendant, himself, and the four children, comprised the defense.

"The state put on 21 witnesses in presenting their evidence in the murder trial. There was little for the state to prove, Bryant had murdered Johnson and there was no dispute in that part of the trial. There was a dispute as to the time that elapsed after the two men met on the ill fated Christmas day happening.

"There was a furthur dispute as to the pattern of shot made by the gun with which Johnson was killed. In rebuttal, the state proved that the pattern of the gun, at a distance of 10 or 12 feet, the distance Bryant swore he was standing from Johnson when he shot him, was only about two inches in diameter. The pattern of shot on Johnson showed a greater distance.

"Virgil Bryant was the first witness put on the stand in his own defense. Bryant unfolded a tale of a home broken by up by Johnson's attentions to his w...(paper is folded here. assuming wife?

Mrs. J.F. Bryant most charmingly entertained The Twentieth Century Club Tuesday afternoon at her lovely home. The guest list included Mrs. J.F. Bryant and daughter Elsie, Mrs. S.A. Evans, Mrs. Ora Bryant, Mrs. Wilbur Planck, Mrs. W. Bryant, Mrs. W.E. Alexander and Mrs. E.R. Durham, of Kansas City. The hostess was assisted by Mrs. J.F. Bryant , Mrs. Ora Bryant, and Mrs. Wm. Bryant and Misses Marie and Elsie Bryant in serving an elegant two course luncheon.

The feature of the afternoon which caused much fun was the debate, "Resolved-That women's clubs make women more companionable to men." Affirmative, Mrs. L.C. Washburn, Mrs. Dwight Poland, Negative, Mrs. Louis Stubbs and Mrs. B.S. Stewart. It was indeed a strong argument on both sides and the judges Mrs. Wilburn Planck, Mrs. W.E. Alexander, and Mrs. Wm. Bryant, decided it was a tie, as such good points were brought out on both sides. The ladies were much pleased to accept Mrs. Lewis Omer as a member of the club.

The club meets in two weeks with Mrs. Andrew Moore.

LT. BRYANT KILLED, IS GERMAN REPORT TO THE RED CROSS

Bethany Republican-Clipper Wed, Sep 08, 1943 ·Page 1

One Day He Became Missing; Presumption Is That End Was Instantaneous - Word Received Saturday.

1st Lieut. Keith Livingstone Bryant, listed as missing in action after his P-40 pursuit plane was forced into a crash landing July 3rd on the beach of Sardinia, Italian island possession northeast of Sicily, now has been reported as having been killed in action, that day.

His parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.P. Bryant, were so notified Saturday afternoon in a telegram from the war department, which said: "Report recieved from the German government through the International Red Cross states that your son, 1st Lieut. Keith L. Bryant, who was previously reported missing since three July, was killed in action on three July in European area. The secretary of war extends his deepest sympathy. Letter follows. Ulio, adjutant general."

The logical presumption is that Lieut. Bryant, 24 years old, was killed instantly in the forced landing of his plane which had been traveling at 200 miles per hour only 20 feet above earth before the rudder of the ship was cut away by the propeller of another plane whose pilot was intent on his own target. Lieut. Bryant is known to have gained some altitude to cut his motor and slow down his speed, but that would of remained high, it is believed.

At Top, Physically

Lieut. Bryant was on his 27th mission when he was lost. In addition, he had flown on a great many sorties, and at one time, it is known, had more flying combat hours to his credit than any other member of his squadron.

An athlete and weight lifter, Lieut. Bryant was superbly fitted in strength to be a fighter pilot, and he kept himself at the peak of condition. As a result, he had been able to remain on duty with only five days of rest since he reported in Africa

Bryant has agreed that he will stand for election again, after being solicited to do so, but Burg is not certain that he will permit his name to be placed on the ticket. He has served on the board for the last 18 years, and believes it is time he is permitted to retire. Other members of the board have not given up hope that he will run, but if he does not then some other business man of experience will be sought as a candidate.

FOR MRS. BRYANT

The Echo Literary Club gave a porch party Friday evening at the Edgar Skinner home complimentary to Mrs. Anna Bryant of Los Angeles, Cal. Mrs. Bryant was an active, efficient and much loved member of the club before going west to reside and the ladies are always delighted to welcome her in their circle on her visits to Bethany. During her absence her name is placed on the honorary roll and the members hope sometime she may return and resume activities in their organization.

The porch was handsomely decorated in roses and ferns and friends assembled at 8 o'clock to greet the honor guest in a body. After an hour of jolly conversation the party adjourned to the living room where a song fest was held with Mrs. Anna Spencer at the piano. All the old time favorites were sung and the program closed with melody of southern melodies.

Besides the members of the club the guest list included Mrs. John Bryant, Mrs. Ora Bryant, Mrs. Will Bryant, Mrs. Cora Bryant-Neal, and Mrs. Tedford of Iowa.

Refreshments were served by the hostess, Mrs. Skinner, assisted by Mrs. Reed, president of the club, and Mrs. E.H. Frisby.
