Daisy Bell Snellgrove was the eldest daughter and second child of Jesse Sephas Snellgrove (III) and Eleanor Buchanan Trant, born in Dale County, Alabama, probably in the area of Gilley's Precinct, an area around present day Wicksburg, Houston County. In 1902, she married Handy Washington Bryant, and in 1910, they were living in Pinckard, Dale County. Daisy and Handy first had a son, Johnie, born in 1902, who was stillborn. In 1907, their daughter Gertrude was born. Daisy sang in the Pinckard Baptist church choir, but after attending Pentecostal revivals, was asked to leave the Baptist church. She and her husband were active in the early Pentecostal movement in south Alabama, organizing revivals and witnessing with evangelists like Daniel J. DuBose (106712447), his brother Jim DuBose, William Files Hardwick (62890439), J. Wayne Tomlin (5369385) and M. M. Pinson (51966586). On Dec. 4, 1917, at the meeting of the 3rd Southeastern District of the Assemblies of God, in Enterprise, Coffee Co., she was licensed to preach. In 1919, she, Handy and Gertrude, as well as her mother-in-law, sister-in-law and four nieces, moved to Bibb City, just north of Columbus, Muscogee County, GA, to work in the textile mill. After her father died in 1920, her mother also came to Georgia. Daisy worked in the mill along with many other family members until she died of a stroke at the age of 50. Her niece and namesake Daisy Snellgrove Tucker (98909379) remembered many things about her, but most prominent was her piety and her devotion to her Savior. Her niece Gladys Snellgrove Cole (98909604) said, "You had to walk the chalk line with Aunt Daisy." She told her niece that getting kicked out of the Baptist church was "the best thing that ever happened" to her, because of the spiritual fulfillment she found in the Pentecostal movement. On the day she died, her nieces said that Daisy asked someone to bring her a clean apron to put on, because she said "I am going to meet the Lord today."
