Carolina Spartan 1863
ROWLAND BRYANT

Died July 1st, 1863, from wounds received in the battle of Gettysburg, Pa. Rowland Bryant, son of Richard Bryant, of our District, aged 22 years. The deceased on the 22d of July, 1861, volunteered in Capt. Wm. Camp's Company and served as a member of the same for 12 months. At the expiration of that time he was discharged for physical reasons and after a short time re-volunteered in 1862, in Capt. Wofford's Company, 13th Regiment, S.C.V. In the battles of Dranesville, Fredericksburg and others, he was engaged and valiantly defended the cause of the South.

At the capture of Harper's Ferry, a distinguished and memorial achievement of Generalship and solider daring, he was present and entitled to a share of the glory that encircled our arms on the occasion: From that time to the last battle in which the company of which he was a member, participated, he acquitted himself gallantly and handsomely.

In private life he was sociable, kind and popular. His natural impulses were honorable, his conduct unexceptional as citizen and soldier. Upon his grave the tears of those who sympathize with the South will fall, while the hand of the impartial historian will mark his final resting place with emblems emblematic of the heroic dead.
