Bryson was a twenty-one year Army veteran who served in both WWII and The Korean War. He retired at Fort Bragg, NC in 1967 as a Master Sergeant. Following his military career, he worked for several years at Fayetteville Building Supply.
Bryson was born December 28, 1927 in Laurens County, SC to the late Garnett Franklin Sherrer and Frances Combs Sherrer.
