Carlos Warren Bryan was born March 13, 1916 in Cedar, Iowa, the son of Leon J. and Lida Mae (Black) Bryan. Carlos graduated from the Cedar Consolidated High School in 1933, and from Central College in Pella in 1938. He began his first teaching job in Troy, IA, the first of several small towns. During his two years there he decided to work toward his principal's certificate at Iowa State Teachers College in Cedar Falls, IA. On August 20, 1939 Carlos married Helen Geraldine Miller in Cedar Falls, IA. Carlos entered the Army on December 17, 1943 and was honorably discharged on May 21, 1946 as a Sergeant. He returned to being a principal-teacher, and to continuing his own education through North Texas State, Iowa State, and Drake University. He received his master's degree and in 1952 assumed the position of superintendent for the Rembrandt School system. In 1960 he was offered, and accepted, the superintendent job in Aurelia where he would remain for the next 22 years until his retirement in 1982.
Carlos was a member of the First United Methodist Church in Aurelia, American Legion, and a past member of the Kiwanis Club, AASA and IASA. He enjoyed music, sports, and played horseshoes, tennis, and golf.
