Funeral services were conducted last Friday afternoon for Ed BRYAN, aged 84 years and 11 months, father of W. C. BRYAN, mayor of Perryton, at the Methodist church in this city. Interment was in the family burial plot in the Bethany cemetery in Beaver county, Oklahoma.
Officiating ministers at the last rites were Rev. W. B. Vaughn, Rev. W. C. Hinds, and Rev. J. M. Sibley. Pallbearers were F. P. ROGERS, B. B. KENT, Jim SIMS, F. L. BELL, W. L. SEAGO, and J. C. BEEVER. Grandsons of the deceased served as flower bearers. They were Wesley and Louis BRYAN; Albert, Bryan and Claud MITCHUSSON; and Ruben BRYAN.
Close surviving relatives are the faithful wife; a daughter, Mrs. Clara MITCHUSSON, Goodwell, Oklahoma; four sons: W. C. BRYAN, J. L. BRYAN and Gus BRYAN, all of Perryton; and Walker BRYAN of Gray, Oklahoma. Four children preceded their father in death.
Ed BRYAN was born August 23, 1850 in Wilmington county, North Carolina. When a young man, he went to Arkadelphia, Arkansas, where on December 31, 1874, he was married to Miss Ella V. ELLIS. In 1870 he was converted and became a member of the Baptist church. In 1880, he moved to Ellis county, Texas, where he resided until 1888, when he moved to Ardmore, Oklahoma, living there until 1899 when he went to Dewey county, Oklahoma. It was at the latter place that he became a member of the Methodist church, serving for a number of years as superintendent of the Sunday School and steward of the church.
In 1911, he came to Beaver county, locating near Gray, where he lived until 1928, when he became a citizen of Perryton.
The deceased was a hardy pioneer, trustworthy in every respect. He was truly of that type of whom it can be honestly said, “His word is as good as his bond”. He was a faithful husband, a loving father and a devoted Christian, always enjoying his work and attendance at church. His bible was his constant companion and he found great pleasure in reading the word of God.
His going leaves a vacancy that is keenly felt but he exchanges a suffering worn body for a Christian’s reward, thus ending a long and faithful earthly life.
