There he grew to manhood and received his education in the schools of that day. In October 1862, deceased was united in marriage to Mary E. Smith. This union was blessed with eight children—three sons and five daughters seven of whom survive viz., Mrs. Clara Fletcher, of Hope, N.M., Mrs. Henry Cox, Mrs. O. H. Rohrbaugh, Alva P., Frank, Charles and Miss Grace, all of Carthage and vicinity. Eleven grandchildren, two brothers and two sisters, together with numerous other more distant relatives and friends are left to sustain this loss, for in his demise the family loses a loving father and brother; the church and Sunday school a faithful member and the community an honored citizen. His wife preceded him in death Sept. 4, 1885, as did also a married daughter, Mary E. Goodrich, Feb. 16, 1907. Shortly after his marriage he united with the Mt. Pleasant Christian church where he maintained an active and consistent membership until the transfer was made to Carthage congregation, in which he continued faithful unto the end. "Be thou faithful unto death and I will give you the crown of life." For some months he had been in failing health and often expressed his faith and confidence in the things eternal. While desiring to live, yet fully resigned to the Master's will, and expressing his faith that it was better so, if health could not be restored. He triumphantly passed from this life last Sunday morning, April 3d, to the realities of life beyond, aged 67 years, 10 months and 8 days. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. W. W. Denham at the Christian church, this city, Tuesday. Burial in Moss Ridge. Link: Bryant Genealogy URL: <http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=bryant>
