Gladys Fern Brant, wife of Ora E. Brant, was born in Shelbyville, Indiana, on March 21, 1901, to Edward and Ella Thurston. On April 14, 1933—thirty-two years and twenty-three days later—she passed away at her home in Sugar Creek township, Shelby county. All of her life was spent in the county wherein she was born.April, 1933

“The grave itself is but a covered bridge,
Leading from light to light, thru a brief darkness”
[Henry Wadsworth Longfellow]
----------
On June 5, 1919, she was united in marriage to Ora, to which union were born four children. Two of these preceded their mother in death, Charles Edward having passed beyond in 1920 and Mildred Marie on March 25, 1925. The other children, Ella Vey and Curtis Wayne, with the father, remain at home. Other survivors are her father, Edward Thurston, of Shelby county; three brothers, Harold, of Wichita, Kas.; Floyd, of Shelbyville; Audrey, of Marion township; two aunts, three uncles, and many other relatives.
Gladys exemplified the true Christian spirit of service throughout her life. When eight years of age she accepted Christ, affiliating herself with the United Brethren church in Marion township. Upon the death of her mother she early assumed the responsibilities of her father's household; and in addition to her labors there , she found time to be of great service to those about her. When her neighbors and other friends suffered sickness or death, Gladys always came with words of sympathy and kindness, and with help that is ever more valuable than mere words. Busy at doing good for other people, she acquired a host of friends throughout the county. Today these friends have gathered here about this bier with the family to offer their condolence, their sympathy, and their help, and to pay a final tribute to this dearly loved one now departed.
Hers was a staunch spirit that never complained. Although ill for many months, and bedridden since the first of this year, she retained her sunny and affable disposition throughout her suffering. Not once did her faith in God waver, but it grew even stronger. Her only worry in leaving concerned the welfare of Ora, Ella Vey, and little Curtis Wayne. Conscious to the last moment, she passed away quietly with a prayer upon her lips.
In this sad and trying hour for the bereaved family, the following lines from the poet McCreery are especially comforting:
"There is no death!
The stars go down
To rise upon some other shore,
And 'bright in Heaven's jeweled crown"
Submitted by Bob GordonThe stars go down
To rise upon some other shore,
And 'bright in Heaven's jeweled crown"
