Born March 22, 1879, in Rochester, Mrs. Bryant was the daughter of Edwin and Margaret WILSON COWGILL.

Mrs. Bryant attended Western College for Women and graduated in 1902 from Beloit college at Beloit, Wis. She was a member of Delta Gamma social sorority and was a lifetime member of the First Baptist church, being an active member on many of its committees during her lifetime.
Long interested in Republican party politics, she at one time had been active in the affairs of the GOP here. Mrs. Bryant was a member of the Monday club, now inactive, and the Neighborhood club.
Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. Margaret "Betty" CARLTON, Chicago, and Mrs. Francis (Frances) BASTOW, Skokie, Ill.; two granddaughters, Mrs. Henry (Jane) TRAUSCH and Mrs. Jack (Sue) THIRY, both of Rochester; one grandson, Peter CARLTON, Princeton, N.J., and two great-grandchildren, Andrew THIRY and Karen TRAUSCH, Rochester.
