Mrs. Maude O'Bryant Sweet, wife of Arthur E. Sweet, passed away Friday afternoon at 5 o'clock at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. T. O'Bryant, of 2020 Grove Avenue.

Mrs. Sweet was afflicted with Bright's disease, for about seven years, the first attack coming while she and her family resided in Florida. Since that time, she has suffered with the disease more or less. Several months ago, her condition became critical, and she began to decline continually, until the end came, yesterday.

Mrs. Sweet was born in Unionville Missouri 39 years ago, as the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William T. O'Bryant. In October 1896, she became the bride of Arthur E. Sweet. She was a woman of many beautiful traits of character, and a sweet, lovable disposition. Her husband, and one daughter, Juanita, aged 9, survive.

Arrangements for the funeral have not been completed, inasmuch as the time has not been fixed. Reverend Dr. Hartley of the Presbyterian church will conduct the services.

Mrs. Sweet, born Maude O'Bryant, had spent the greater part of her life in Quincy, and here, she had a wide acquaintance. She was born in Unionville Missouri November 5 1872. She was the oldest daughter in the family, and is survived by her husband; her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. T. O'Bryant; two sisters, Mrs. Beverly Bonfoey who resides in Kirksville Missouri, and Mrs. Edith Brockman of this city; and two brothers. Mrs. Bonfoey is on an extended western trip, and is now in Seattle, and so far, the family has not been able to get in communication with her. She came here to bid her sister farewell before she left.

The decedent's marriage to Arthur E. Sweet took place October 4 1896, and one child, a daughter Juanita, was born to the union. The little girl is 9 years old.

The funeral services will take place tomorrow afternoon from the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. O'Bryant, at 6 o'clock, with burial following, in Graceland cemetery. Friends are invited to the home, but the burial will be private.

Mrs. Sweet was a member of the Presbyterian church.

Mr. Arthur E. Sweet and Miss Maud O'Bryant were married last evening at the home of the bride's parents, 2020 Grove Avenue. The ceremony was performed by the Reverend Dr. E. A. Ince, at 7:30 o'clock, and was witnessed by only the relatives and a few intimate friends of the happy couple.

It was a quiet home wedding, and the appointments were all in a style of quiet elegance. The colors were green and white, the parlors being tastefully decorated with a profusion of plants, potted plants, and roses.

They were attended by Miss Edith O'Bryant, sister of the bride, and Mr. Bert Brockman. The bride wore her going-away gown, a pretty shade of green govert cloth, tailor made, and trimmed with braid. Mrs. O'Bryant, mother of the bride, wore black silk, trimmed with chiffon.

After the ceremony, the wedding guests sat down to an elegant supper. Mr. and Mrs. Sweet left on the 9:30 train for the south, but the guests remained, and continued the festivities until a late hour. The presents were numerous and beautiful, and included many rare gifts in silver and art ware.

The bride is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. T. O'Bryant, and is a most estimable young lady whose many charms of mind and person have won the affection and esteem of a wide circle of friends. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. E. K. Sweet, and is associated with his father in business. He is a young businessman of sterling worth, and is more than usually popular among his friends and associates.

Mr. and Mrs. Sweet will spend a week in St. Louis, and on their return will go to housekeeping in the Lubbe flats on Eighth street.

Among the guests from outside the city were Mr. and Mrs. Will Applegate of Unionville Missouri, and Messrs. Will Johnson and Lee Hull of Chicago.
