June 5, 1916 Oregonian - Man Tired of Life Dies by Own Hand Ernest Bryant Uses Revolver at Mother's Home
Suicide Follows Talk With Neighbor, in Which Despondent Turn of Mind is Indicated
Ernest Bryant, 57, for 18 years bookkeeper of the First National Bank of Corvallis, shot and killed himself last night about 7:30 o'clock at the home of his mother, 5351 Eighty-ninth street Southeast. Despondency is the apparent cause of his action. He had complained to neighbors of his mother and particularly to J. G. Kennedy, 5424 Eighty-ninth street, southeast, "that life was not worth living."
Mr. Bryant came here from Corvallis about five months ago, severing his connection with the First National Bank of that place about last October.
At the time the tragedy took place, Mr. Bryant's mother, who is past 80 years of age, was out walking with her grandchild, and Mr. Bryant was in the house with an aunt. When he shot himself, his aunt ran across the street to the home of William F. Kelly. Mr. Kelly found Mr. Bryant dying, and he lived but a few minutes after Mr. Kelly's arrival.
Mr. Bryant was a cousin of Fire Marshal Jay Stevens.
