Anyone know the full spelling of Ms. Bryant’s first name? An apostrophe indicates a missing letter; but which letter?

I suspect that is just the way momma named her. I expect because in her mind, it sounds African.

In the above case, the apostrophe serves to transliterate the Russian soft sign - between the el (л) and the es (с).
