January 22, 1874:
Mrs. Hannah Bryan, wife of our esteemed fellow citizen, Nathaniel Bryan, at the residence, on Friday afternoon, January 16, 1874.
She was the daughter of the late John McFeaters, a ruling Elder in the Harmony Presbyterian Church, Synod of Pittsburgh; and was born in Junietta Co. Penn, April 20, 1810. She was married on the 24th of January, 1833, and was the mother of eleven children, two sons and nine daughters.
The sons and three of the daughters survive.
The family removed from Penn., to Lebanon in March 1866, and although disease has compelled her to lead a very retired life, she secured a warm circle of friends, both in her own church and among other good people. From a rheumatic affliction she had not been able to walk or take care of herself for over five years, but bore her sufferings with remarkable patience. She made a profession of religion in the church of her father in 1826, and was an exemplary Christian. She chose for her special text for the year, Job XIX, 25. "I know that my Redeemer liveth," and in this confidence she departed to eternal rest.
