Nancy Jane bryant

1966 Hurt Newsletter:

All of you who are descendants of Nancy Jane Bryant Hurt will be glad to know that her tombstone has finally been ordered. In October, your editor and Chief Reporter made a trip to Casey, Illinois to Markwell's Monument Co. They gave us a discount, and we think we got a nice monument for $72.80. Of course, we didn't have quite that much money in our fund, but we bought the stone anyway, on the assumption that we would be selling more Bryant books. Have you bought yours? They are $1.00 each, available from your editor.
