Mrs. Bryan, stricken with pneumonia four weeks before her death, and lay at death's door for some time, but rallied from the pneumonia, and her condition was again hopeful, until complications set in, with the end coming Friday.

At the age of 12, she moved with her parents to Newton, where she lived until 1872, when she moved to Panola County.
