Nodaway Historical Museum-Obituary Book-Clarinda, Page County, Iowa
and obituary in Villisca Review-Villisca, Adams County, Iowa: Front page, 17 January 1917.

Well known citizen of Hawleyville - came here 56 years ago - funeral held Wednesday. The many friends and acquaintances of John M. Bryson of Hawleyville were much surprised and grieved on Monday afternoon to learn of his sudden death from paralysis. He was struck unexpectedly last Thursday, the first stroke of the kind he has ever experienced, and which he was unable to recover.

John M. Bryson was born August 21, 1852 in Clintonville, Payne County, Illinois, being the son of John E. Bryson. When, but a boy of seven years, he came with his parents to Page County, Iowa. settling in Hawleyville. That was in 1860, just before the opening of the Civil War. Arriving at manhood, he was married in Hawleyville to Miss Caroline Morris, who still survives him. They first moved to Nebraska, then to Springfield, Missouri, then back to Hawleyville, Iowa, which has since been their home.

"Squire" Bryson being one of our honored Page County citizens, as he has for many years been a justice of the peace and drawn up legal papers for many people, besides taking a part in the civic life of the community, being interested in the horse business in addition to owning a farm and city property. Besides his wife, deceased leaves a daughter, Mrs. Harry Hale of Clarinda, and two sons Everett living three miles from Hawleyville, and B.M. Bryson who has been working in Council Bluffs. Two brothers also survive, William living in Nebraska and Thomas near Hawleyville and three sisters, Mrs. George Thurber of Hepburn, Mrs. William McCoy and Mrs. John Kendall who still live on the old home site. John M. Bryson was a man of quiet disposition, but a live member of the community, shown by the fact of his having been the Hawleyville correspondent for the Clarinda Herald for a number of years up until two years ago. He will be missed by many who have known him
